Cloud platform has supported cost control and database integration but still needs better metrics and storage
I have not used Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI)'s networking solutions today. I studied it somewhat, but it is not my main area currently. We had some problems sometimes with Autonomous Database in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), for example, in the past months related to the asset of the metrics. We found problems related to what we wanted to show to the customer about the database because many metrics were missing. We usually worked together with members of Oracle Italia to ask them to introduce some metrics, for example, those that do not work correctly about CPU usage, memory usage, or network usage. There were some metrics in Oracle Autonomous Database in dedicated infrastructure that did not allow us to show correct information to the customer. We usually needed to ask Oracle Italia to introduce some metrics or clarify metric usage. In some cases, they showed incorrect data in the output, so we had to work with them to solve this problem. I am speaking about problems from approximately one year ago, so I do not know if they have fixed all of it now. One problem I faced in the past with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) was also related to documentation. Sometimes there are differences between Oracle Autonomous Database usage on shared infrastructures compared to dedicated infrastructures. When searching for documentation, it is not clear if one aspect or solution is usable in both technologies or on both shared and dedicated infrastructures. I found some documents proposed for Autonomous Database and then discovered that the case was applicable only for shared infrastructure, not dedicated. Oracle Italia explained to me that Oracle Autonomous Database on shared and dedicated are different products. However, I do not understand why if I have the same version of Oracle in both architectures, I cannot have access to some tools or internal packages in both technologies. We usually had to ask them to introduce also in dedicated infrastructures the use of some Oracle PL/SQL packages, some internal packages, for example, for the management of queues. Another aspect is that the storage of Oracle is not very user-friendly. In Autonomous, for example, where I think an autonomous database should manage storage correctly on its own, my experience is that often we have many allocated storage spaces that are free, but it is impossible to reclaim. We need to expand storage and pay for it, even though it is free. I think that regarding the internal management of storage, Oracle can improve.

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 IA services, including storage, creating VMs and databases have been great."

"The most valuable feature is the reporting service."
"Overall, there are some very good features on Oracle and it offers good customization capabilities."
"The scalability feature of the product is very impressive, especially considering the fact that the tool offers its users a pay-as-you-go model."
"The solution is stable."
"The performance and processing capability are excellent."
"The real-time data processing and the ability to track all leasing processes and contracts are particularly valuable."
"The solution's initial setup process is straightforward."
"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."
"The solution is online and provides a real-time information feature, which makes a huge difference to the business, especially in reviews and meetings."
"It is a scalable solution if you have a good cloud infrastructure."
"It has significantly streamlined our operations."
"It is a stable and scalable product."
"If a customer is looking for the latest innovations or products from SAP this solution is perfect for them."
 

Cons

"The integration tools that they offer are quite complex to use."
"I would like more technical expertise."
"There should be more management automation."
"The portfolio should improve for the Oracle Cloud Platform. Oracle has to increase the services offered."
"The framework from AWS is so good, I would like to see this feature in OCI."
"Simple provisioning is fine, but when it comes to complex provisioning, Oracle Cloud is not quick compared to competing solutions."
"Technical support could be a bit better."
"Oracle Cloud's support could be improved because its second-line support has weak engineers who handle stuff a little bit slowly."
"The product must provide more details of the errors."
"One thing which we face, not as a problem, is the pricing. SAP pricing is a bit higher day by day."
"One thing which we face, not as a problem, is the pricing. SAP pricing is a bit higher day by day."
"Customers need to be better educated about using the solution's cloud for digital transformation."
"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."
"The stability needs to be improved to be able to handle large amounts of data."
"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

"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."
"Oracle Cloud is an expensive solution."
"There is a subscription cost rather than licensing for this product."
"In Oracle Cloud Platform, one needs to make payments towards the subscription charges."
"The price is fair, but we have to manage it to keep it low."
"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."
"OCI is the cost-effectiveness compared to other similar services, assuming all compliance regulations are met. Additionally, they offer a number of things free of charge, which is particularly beneficial for smaller clients."
"It is cheaper as a solution model. It isn’t cheaper than SAP but offers more features and competition."
"The solution's cost is reasonable."
"The pricing is reasonable when compared to other vendors like Oracle who offer technology enterprise resource software."
"The price is expensive compared to the competition."
"Our pricing is based on a yearly contract."
"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 product itself is relatively expensive."
