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 most valuable feature of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) is Data Safe, which allows for the masking and encryption of personal identifiable information, ensuring data security."
"OCI's best features are its price, databases, and Linux compatibility."
"The technical support is good, they have been responsive and helpful."
"I haven't experienced any instability or downtime in Oracle Cloud over the past three years. It is scalable The support team was good. The initial setup is straightforward to configure. I rate the solution a nine out of ten with ten being the highest."
"Our recommendations are good, and we also have a bidding platform that is helpful for managed service providers. This platform can save customers up to 2-3 weeks in billing time, from 25 days to 3-4 days. We have two products: a basic product and a cloud optimization product. Both products help customers improve the performance and cost-efficiency of their cloud environments."
"Oracle Cloud is reasonably scalable - I'd rate it seven out of ten."
"The initial setup of Oracle Cloud is simple...It is a scalable solution."
"The product enables users to create their own reports."
"Fiori is the most valuable feature, as well as the the integration between S/4 and another solution as an extension."
"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 processes and the way we take advantage and use assistance are good."
"The solution does provide quite a lot of support, upgrades, automated batch updates, etc."
"The interface is easy to manage."
"Companies have gained more productivity because users take less time to finalize tasks as the data is correct, eliminating the need to double-check information constantly."
"The most valuable feature is virtual modeling, which is beneficial because you don't really save the data multiple times the way we did in the past."
"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."
 

Cons

"The solution’s support could be improved."
"With Oracle you have to create your own roles and it is more complex."
"However, currently, some of its products are not as feature user-friendly as those of AWS."
"There's one app I have to install on my device, the Articulate Player app. It's only available on Apple and Android, but it's not available for Windows. I can't run the program on my desktop, to use it to learn Java."
"There's a need for further customization to unlock the platform's full potential."
"The solution's scalability is an area with shortcomings...Mid-level customers feel that Oracle is not scalable in their environment and is an enterprise-level segment solution."
"Specific to the Oracle Cloud; while they have been able to showcase inbuilt features for Oracle applications, what doesn't really come across clearly is what happens when you want to host, work with, or integrate with applications outside of the Oracle stack."
"They offer some basic services but the choice is not as rich as other cloud providers."
"The cost could be improved. I think it's higher than the competition."
"The stability of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The solution needs to embed or integrate with IBP to fully activate the PPT module with efficiency."
"I would rate the stability a four out of ten. It's an area that could use improvement"
"The solution is scalable from an infrastructure point of view. However, it becomes more complex over time because technology is changing so fast."
"Customers need to be better educated about using the solution's cloud for digital transformation."
"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."
"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

"Oracle Cloud is cheaper than other products."
"It's very expensive compared to AWS."
"The solution is free to use."
"Pricing needs to be improved."
"The pricing is the best."
"My ROI has increased."
"The subscription is a pay-as-you-go model, with fees that are dependent on usage."
"The solution is expensive according to services and competition. Also, it is not prevalent in the market. I rate the solution’s pricing a seven on a scale of ten, where ten is expensive, and one is cheap."
"If you choose the minimum, it will probably cost around $1,000 USD per month if you take a contract for a year or two."
"It's very, very expensive."
"The solution's cost is reasonable."
"The product itself is relatively expensive."
"The price is on little bit higher. For SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud, we see roughly five crores per annum."
"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 licensing of the solution is on a yearly basis. The normal price of the solution is quite high, but I received a special discount by making a purchase near the end of the year."
"The pricing is reasonable when compared to other vendors like Oracle who offer technology enterprise resource software."
