Streamlined enterprise integration with room for faster support
We use Oracle Cloud Infrastructure for services similar to AWS and Azure. It is easy to integrate with Oracle's suite of applications, making it seamless for enterprises that rely on Oracle databases The key feature of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is its seamless integration with Oracle…

High stability, reasonably priced, and important for digital transformations
Customers need to be better educated about using the solution's cloud for digital transformation. SAP as a legacy system is missing that flavor. The solution is not a traditional ERP software so should be used as a digital transformation tool. That is the story to project to customers, partners, and sales teams. This will help the solution grow faster than GCP, AWS, or Azure. In fact, Google Cloud Platform is now collaborating with SAP for digital transformation. The solution should offer affordable modules that are customized to startups with 50 to 500 employees. Most people think of SAP as being only for big enterprises but it could be very useful for smaller companies. There are 40,000 to 50,000 startups in APAC each year and that is a large volume. Many of the solution's modules could be used by those startups. Google is targeting this market with chat boards and automation tools at a reasonable price or with six months of free usage. SAP should come up with this kind of module and include sandbox so providers can play with a few of the POCs.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The product is scalable."
"Oracle does well when it comes to data privacy and security, which are critical."
"A good feature of the solution is the clear roadmap it provides specifically from Oracle to PC, there are good options to use OTP."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Cloud is its autonomous database."
"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."
"Just having the many options and features offered by the product through the cloud is a major benefit."
"Oracle is valuable for improving performance and addressing issues between the nodes of clusters for private IPs. It provides a private connection between the client and the security cluster."
"The deployment is most valuable feature."
"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."
"My company has not had any problems with the product's initial setup phase."
"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."
"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."
"The processes and the way we take advantage and use assistance are good."
"The interface is easy to manage."
"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 solution's initial setup process is straightforward."
 

Cons

"There should be more management automation."
"It should have other workloads from other suppliers running on the solution."
"With Oracle you have to create your own roles and it is more complex."
"Though Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) has robust features, improvements could be made to its authentication and identity access management, specifically in making them more seamless without using fingerprints for authentication."
"Technical support could be more responsive."
"The solution requires tighter integration capabilities."
"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."
"Oracle support could be better; we had cases where certain regions experienced specific issues and received little help from Oracle."
"The SAP products are complicated to deploy anywhere."
"Customers need to be better educated about using the solution's cloud for digital transformation."
"The solution needs to embed or integrate with IBP to fully activate the PPT module with efficiency."
"This product is not mature enough at this point in time."
"The main thing is that SAP needs to give better response times for support tickets."
"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."
"Customization is an area of concern in SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud, where improvements are required."
"The solution is scalable from an infrastructure point of view. However, it becomes more complex over time because technology is changing so fast."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a subscription cost rather than licensing for this product."
"Oracle Cloud Platform is a bit costly. You can always bring your own license or subscribe to the SaaS option, but the SaaS option is very costly. I rate the pricing a six out of ten."
"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."
"Oracle Cloud Platform's pricing is comparable to other solutions, but it is definitely not cheap."
"The product’s pricing is reasonable compared to other tools in the market."
"The solution's cost could be better."
"The pricing is a little bit expensive compared to other products."
"My ROI has increased."
"The solution could be less expensive."
"The price is expensive compared to the competition."
"The product itself is relatively expensive."
"It's very, very expensive."
"The solution's cost is reasonable."
"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 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."
