Senior Oracle DBA at a financial services firm with 11-50 employees
Hybrid cloud has supported payment services and provides reliable networked virtual machines
There are no restrictions about usage of these virtual machines because Linux machines are used, and everything needed is installed on our own responsibility, as all applications are developed by vendors who produce them for us. This is why there are no restrictions felt in usage of cloud services. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) offers good services, though the price could be lower than it currently is. AI and machine learning features of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) have not been used in production, as research is being conducted in this area. Services provided to customers are very well tested, and untested services are not offered to customers. Currently, research is being conducted on the usage of AI offerings through Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) or other vendors of AI tools.

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

"Overall, there are some very good features on Oracle and it offers good customization capabilities."
"I love that all the things I need are in one place."
"The most valuable feature is the reporting service."
"The most valuable feature is that it offers several adaptors."
"We have not had any downtime using the solution."
"The product is easy to use and deploy."
"The security on the solution is very good."
"The solution has improved our organization's implementation and running costs; it's saved us money already, in just a few short months."
"It is a stable and scalable product."
"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 and all those things, and I don't need to set up my data center."
"It is a scalable solution if you have a good cloud infrastructure."
"The solution is online and provides a real-time information feature, which makes a huge difference to the business, especially in reviews and meetings."
"Fiori is the most valuable feature, as well as the the integration between S/4 and another solution as an extension."
"My company has not had any problems with the product's initial setup phase."
"The stability is good."
"While on-prem takes a long time, this solution is ten times faster."
 

Cons

"They could improve their global presence and marketing strategy to compete effectively with the likes of AWS."
"It is not scalable."
"The user interface could be improved and be further simplified."
"The packaging part of the software needs improvement. It lacks customization abilities for users. Giving them VMs for machine learning or running their own programs like Azure and Amazon, for example. Things like scalability based on the requirement of the tools. Oracle still lacks these kinds of things. For example, if you need a VM from Oracle, you need to pay for a monthly fee. They started developing containership but it's still at the initial stage and it's still lacking. They also need to develop integration between packages."
"The tool should provide more options like other cloud services. Also, it should improve scalability with the free version."
"I think that there could be a more user-friendly environment when it comes to the options that Oracle presents through the Oracle Cloud Platform."
"The product's resilience is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Oracle Cloud is not a user-friendly tool. From an improvement perspective, I want Oracle Cloud to be more user-friendly."
"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."
"It needs improvement in terms of stability and performance."
"Enterprise Cloud's reporting could be more automated to improve content accountability, especially regarding BI reports."
"One thing which we face, not as a problem, is the pricing. SAP pricing is a bit higher day by day."
"SAP support isn't on par with products like Microsoft Azure or AWS. It's nowhere close to the competitors."
"The solution needs to embed or integrate with IBP to fully activate the PPT module with efficiency."
"The solution is scalable from an infrastructure point of view. However, it becomes more complex over time because technology is changing so fast."
"Our data centers are in Europe and come under GDPR regulations, and this doesn't apply to the Middle East yet. It causes a lot of confusion."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licenses for this solution are very comprehensive and, therefore, very economical; there is only one cost, and it covers all available features without any chargeable add-ons."
"Its pricing is complex, but as partners, we can get away with quite a bit of discounting because we deal with them directly. I would rate their pricing probably a one or two out of five because they're quite expensive. Microsoft Azure will probably be the cheapest because depending on the Microsoft product that you have, they have some sort of bundling. There are things that they give you to get you onto Azure. AWS is probably somewhere in the middle."
"The price is middling; it's not the most expensive product, but there is still some room for it to be more flexible."
"Oracle offers universal credit and pay-as-you-go options."
"The solution is expensive."
"Costing depends on if you have an existing license for the application and for the operating system."
"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."
"Oracle Cloud Platform has a decent pricing model."
"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."
"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."
"It's very, very expensive."
"The pricing is reasonable when compared to other vendors like Oracle who offer technology enterprise resource software."
"The price is on little bit higher. For SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud, we see roughly five crores per annum."
