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.

Real-time data processing and good support with room for market-driven improvements

SAP RFX and overall SAP solutions provide a very intuitive and integrated solution within finance, leading procurement, and other business scenarios. The real-time data processing and the ability to track all leasing processes and contracts are particularly valuable. SAP's capability to integrate with other systems like GIS and non-SAP applications also stands out.

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."

"You can customize everything according to your preferences. I've reached out to customer support many times. I highly recommend using Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. With the product, you have complete control over the management of your system."

"The most valuable part of the Oracle Cloud Platform is the ability to develop applications that help us migrate information from on-prem to the cloud."

"The performance and processing capability are excellent."

"It's reliable, performs well, and is often faster than running applications on separate machines due to optimized performance and networking capabilities within OCI."

"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."

"Initial setup of databases is not a problem."

"We appreciate the fact that this solution will operate with both native and third-party applications. This has meant that we don't need to change all of our systems to accommodate it within our network."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) pros

"The real-time data processing and the ability to track all leasing processes and contracts are particularly valuable."

"What I like the most is that we can convert databases into a proper multi-dimensional model, and then we can project with the integration with Power BI."

"It has significantly streamlined our operations."

"I am impressed with how the solution integrates with the ME system and ALE IDocs."

"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."

"It is a scalable solution if you have a good cloud infrastructure."

"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."

"My company has not had any problems with the product's initial setup phase."

More SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud pros

Cons

"The main issue for the clients is that they need to understand the credit payments because if it's a currency that's not dollars or euros, Oracle will always convert it into credits and that's not easy for the customer to understand at the beginning."

"However, currently, some of its products are not as feature user-friendly as those of AWS."

"The customization and the requests put through were not flexible enough."

"In the next release, I would like to see more automation."

"The product roadmap strategy for some of the products is not clear."

"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."

"They offer some basic services but the choice is not as rich as other cloud providers."

"The solution requires tighter integration capabilities."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) cons

"The stability needs to be improved to be able to handle large amounts of data."

"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."

"SAP should adopt more rapid changes in market processes and customer needs to deliver solutions that meet new industry requirements swiftly."

"The customer has a lot of dependencies on SAP which means they don't have much flexibility to go and update the system when or if they need to. They will need to wait for the quarterly updates. It's possible to maybe raise a special request with SAP if it is absolutely necessary."

"Customization is an area of concern in SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud, where improvements are required."

"The SAP products are complicated to deploy anywhere."

"It’s a common challenge with applications like Microsoft and SAP that they tend to rely on engineers rather than human resources personnel for knowledge and implementation."

"The only thing that could be improved is the cost."

More SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing for Oracle Cloud services is reasonable. Additionally, compared to other service providers, Oracle has a substantial presence and established infrastructure in Bangladesh. Considering all these factors together makes Oracle Cloud an ideal choice and a strong contender in the market."

"The solution is overpriced."

"The product offers a subscription-based licensing model."

"Oracle Cloud Platform has a decent pricing model."

"Costing depends on if you have an existing license for the application and for the operating system."

"The pricing is reasonable."

"Oracle Cloud is an expensive solution."

"I would rate the tool’s pricing a ten out of ten since it is expensive."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) pricing and cost advice

"Our pricing is based on a yearly contract."

"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 price is expensive compared to the competition."

"The solution could be less expensive."

"It's very, very expensive."

"The solution's cost is reasonable."

"The price is on little bit higher. For SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud, we see roughly five crores per annum."

"I rate the product's price a five out of ten."
