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

"I have found Oracle Cloud to be a scalable solution."

"It's a very robust solution, especially for the environment that you move onto the cloud."

"Most of the features that I have used in the product are good and I am happy with it."

"It's a cloud, so it is easy to access anywhere."

"The product is easy to use and deploy."

"It is a strong tool that offers more dynamic reporting capabilities while being user-friendly at the same time, and it can also be made better."

"We are not using any features offered by OCI but only using virtual machines. So our data only syncs from our On-premises to cloud. The compute and performance are better than other cloud solutions."

"The simple infrastructure of the service is very useful."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) pros

"The solution is stable and we have never had a problem. We started with one terabyte of data when the solution was first implemented and today we have around almost 600 gigabytes of data, which means means the compression works properly. Before migrating from ECC, we had nine terabytes of data."

"The solution's initial setup process is straightforward."

"The interface is easy to manage."

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

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

"There's a minimum amount of downtime when using the solution. This platform is very effective."

"It has significantly streamlined our operations."

More SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud pros

Cons

"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."

"Oracle Cloud could be improved with better third-party integrations."

"The AI capabilities and the power automate platform that Azure is offering seem to be way ahead of what Oracle is offering."

"There is room for improvement for stability."

"What I'd like to see from Oracle Cloud is an option for the customer to have a single portal to manage and monitor not just Oracle Cloud, but some of the on-premise products in the hybrid scenario as well. If it can be shipped out as an out-of-the-box solution, that would be wonderful. It's not so easy, but for a company like Oracle, it shouldn't be a problem. Many customers go through a lot of effort and burn money to achieve this, so it's an opportunity for Oracle to provide it for customers looking for this type of solution."

"The interface should be more user-friendly."

"The price in the subscription, for those who may want to subscribe to the cloud as a customer, keeps those potential customers from even considering it as a solution."

"The solution needs improvement in support, performance, and features."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) cons

"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."

"The main thing is that SAP needs to give better response times for support tickets."

"Customers need to be better educated about using the solution's cloud for digital transformation."

"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."

"The price of SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud is quite expensive compared to solutions such as Data Fabric in Azure and Redshift on Amazon, which are quite cheap in comparison."

"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 cost could be improved. I think it's higher than the competition."

"One thing which we face, not as a problem, is the pricing. SAP pricing is a bit higher day by day."

More SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud cons

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."

"The price for Oracle Cloud may seem expensive, but if you start comparing features and what Oracle offers, you'll realize that the pricing for Oracle Cloud is competitive. If you consider every aspect of Oracle Cloud, you'll see that its price tag is reasonable because it has a good user interface, user experience, and management. Oracle Cloud is a sophisticated infrastructure and the level of management it allows you to enjoy isn't available in other solutions, so I wouldn't worry about needing to invest huge money into it because it's a wonderful product to use."

"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 price of the solution should be reduced to a price that people can afford."

"The product’s pricing is reasonable compared to other tools in the market."

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

"The cost may be a bit high for many potential users."

"The pricing is reasonable."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) pricing and cost advice

"The price is expensive compared to the competition."

"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."

"Our pricing is based on a yearly contract."

"The pricing is reasonable when compared to other vendors like Oracle who offer technology enterprise resource software."

"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."

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

"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."

"The product itself is relatively expensive."
