Associate Director at LTI - Larsen & Toubro Infotech
Cost-effectiveness and pricing consistency support diverse high-intensity applications
The services of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) are quite competent when compared to AWS Cloud, and they are also lower in cost. We use compute, storage, and network services. A notable feature is Oracle Cloud Infrastructure's consistent global pricing, which is advantageous. Furthermore, applications using Oracle Database not only work seamlessly on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) but also benefit from a 25% offset on Oracle Database licenses.
Salman Mukhtar Baig - PeerSpot reviewer
SAP Technical Manager at VS Furniture Middle East
Cloud access has improved reporting and sales operations across global locations
I cannot say anything about what areas of SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud could be improved or enhanced because so far, we are happy with this implementation. We are not facing any problem, or I cannot say that this can be improved. Although SAP keeps improving themselves day by day, we cannot say that SAP needs to improve anything. One thing which we face, not as a problem, is the pricing. SAP pricing is a bit higher day by day. Before, it was not too much higher, but I don't know why they are increasing their price. They should see this thing, so other customers, such as SMBs customers or small and mid-sized customers, can also avail this thing. Otherwise, we don't have any problem. First, there is the limitation. If you are a SAP user, you don't feel any problem with the limitation because if you know how to use the product, you can easily implement this thing. Otherwise, if you don't know the business process or how to integrate and implement, it could be a problem. We have a limitation, but we developed some add-ons for this. So we fulfilled these requirements.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The performance and processing capability are excellent."
"Our primary use case of this solution is to do implementations on the cloud like Oracle Application, PeopleSoft, and E-Business Suite."
"I think Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) is a very good choice today to use and to recommend to other customers."
"It has improved my company by cutting my time to market."
"The most valuable feature is the reporting service."
"The strength of this product is that they have many good database options, compared to other vendors."
"I head the sales and marketing team. So, specifically on the feature set side, multi-tenancy is the one that I'm most familiar with. It's also the one that we found to be the most beneficial to us because it allows us to take clients that have multiple sites. For instance, one of our larger clients, which is a bank based out of South Africa, has offices in multiple countries. It allows us to multi-tenant each and create a tenant for each country within multi-tenanted architecture."
"I like the solution’s stability, performance, and fault alerts."
"My company has not had any problems with the product's initial setup phase."
"One of the features that I've found most useful is that It's very simple. They take care of the technical aspects of the data, installations, patches."
"The scalability is good because we have some cloud resources to support the ERP."
"The BTP module is important for digital transformations."
"The interface is easy to manage."
"The real-time data processing and the ability to track all leasing processes and contracts are particularly valuable."
"Traditionally, SAP worked with Oracle databases, but SAP is getting rid of the other databases and promoting its own. SAP will stop support for other databases around 2026, so everyone is moving to SAP S/4HANA for the performance and because it's the preferred database for SAP. S/4HANA has new features from the front-end or application feature perspective. The idea is to move toward future-ready technology."
"The solution's initial setup process is straightforward."
 

Cons

"The solution should integrate better with other tools and different vendors."
"It could be more affordable."
"The product could use some more development and maturity so it has more peripheral functionality already integrated."
"The product’s pricing should be reduced."
"I would like more technical expertise."
"Oracle Cloud's price is very high."
"Nowadays, every SR is referred to Oracle Cloud Connect without a person actually handling the customer."
"Portability of the VMware environment into the Oracle Cloud should be made more simple."
"The price of SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud is quite expensive compared to solutions such as Data Fabric in Azure and Redshift on Amazon, which are quite cheap in comparison."
"Customization is an area of concern in SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud, where improvements are required."
"They should probably offer more cloud services. Most of the cloud infrastructure providers we have make everything pretty transparent, you know what you're getting, you have all these metrics and measurements and everything in the dashboard. Here you have to go through the contracting negotiations and all those things."
"SAP support isn't on par with products like Microsoft Azure or AWS. It's nowhere close to the competitors."
"The SAP products are complicated to deploy anywhere."
"Enterprise Cloud's reporting could be more automated to improve content accountability, especially regarding BI reports."
"The cost could be improved. I think it's higher than the competition."
"One thing which we face, not as a problem, is the pricing. SAP pricing is a bit higher day by day."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The subscription cost is too high."
"The price is fair, but we have to manage it to keep it low."
"Oracle Cloud Platform is a bit costly. You can always bring your own license or subscribe to the SaaS option, but the SaaS option is very costly. I rate the pricing a six out of ten."
"There is a subscription cost rather than licensing for this product."
"Oracle offers universal credit and pay-as-you-go options."
"OCI's pricing is one of its best features."
"The subscription is a pay-as-you-go model, with fees that are dependent on usage."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"The price is on little bit higher. For SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud, we see roughly five crores per annum."
"Our pricing is based on a yearly contract."
"The price is expensive compared to the competition."
"The solution could be less expensive."
"SAP may not be the most cost-effective option, but it does offer a comprehensive set of tools and features. When you have the right information, structure, and dashboard in place, it can provide excellent value. Additionally, competition with Oracle might be a factor to consider."
"The price is high compared to other databases, which is why HANA is still not widely used. Some enterprises prefer Sybase, Oracle, or other traditional databases because HANA is a little pricey. Cost is one factor SAP needs to work on to make it more competitive with other databases. Otherwise, they'll never be able to develop a mass customer base."
"I rate the product's price a five out of ten."
"The pricing is reasonable when compared to other vendors like Oracle who offer technology enterprise resource software."
