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 stability of the solution is very good...The technical support is good."
"Technical support is good. We are partners with Oracle so we are always speaking with them."
"The strength of this product is that they have many good database options, compared to other vendors."
"The product is easy to use and deploy."
"Overall, I would say that Oracle Cloud provides support with zero down time and the high probability is very good."
"Overall, I would rate Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) as nine out of 10."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring."
"The feature I think should be improved is the option to rename the machines."
"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."
"There's a minimum amount of downtime when using the solution. This platform is very effective."
"We have a wide range of use cases for SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud. These include production planning, materials management, sales management, treasury, finance, appliance maintenance, real estate, and warehouse management."
"The processes and the way we take advantage and use assistance are good."
"The BTP module is important for digital transformations."
"Now, with the cloud, we can move anywhere in the world and we can easily access it from SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud, and even the client can also see the stock availability which they need to order."
"It has significantly streamlined our operations."
"The interface is easy to manage."
 

Cons

"Simplifying the cloud management console would be really valuable for small and large customers alike."
"One improvement that would be helpful is the addition of a replication option on their Standard Edition OD service. Currently, this option is not available, which leads many customers to move to the Enterprise edition. However, other cloud service providers, such as Amazon AWS offer replication options at a similar tier. It would be beneficial if Oracle also explored providing this option for their Standard Edition service."
"The solution's reporting part is not good and needs more development."
"The integration tools that they offer are quite complex to use."
"There should be more management automation."
"There were some metrics in Oracle Autonomous Database in dedicated infrastructure that did not allow us to show correct information to the customer; in some cases, they showed incorrect data in the output, so we had to work with Oracle Italia to solve this problem."
"I would like the Oracle Cloud Platform to have a more user-friendly UI similar to Microsoft Azure."
"The functionalities could be simplified as it is a bit difficult to learn."
"Customers need to be better educated about using the solution's cloud for digital transformation."
"It needs improvement in terms of stability and performance."
"The licensing model for SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud has changed, and it is not entirely clear for final customers. Instead of named users, they now have to calculate FUEs."
"The product must provide more details of the errors."
"The SAP products are complicated to deploy anywhere."
"One thing which we face, not as a problem, is the pricing. SAP pricing is a bit higher day by day."
"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."
"The stability needs to be improved to be able to handle large amounts of data."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate Oracle Cloud three to four out of ten on a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"The license is a bit expensive for academic work."
"The product offers a subscription-based licensing model."
"The solution is expensive. I would rate the pricing as ten out of ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"In Oracle Cloud Platform, one needs to make payments towards the subscription charges."
"On a monthly basis, we pay around $2,500 for licensing fees, with no additional costs. We do pay extra licensing for other on-premises solutions, but these are not related to Oracle Cloud Platform."
"I would rate the tool’s pricing a ten out of ten since it is expensive."
"The costs involved are low when it comes to Oracle Cloud, especially when compared to AWS."
"The solution's cost is reasonable."
"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."
"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."
"The solution could be less expensive."
"The price is on little bit higher. For SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud, we see roughly five crores per annum."
"The product itself is relatively expensive."
"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."
"Our pricing is based on a yearly contract."
