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

"It is a stable solution since it offers a very powerful performance to its users."

"I like the consistency that the solution offers to its uses, and I also like how secure and powerful the solution is since I haven't had to deal with any issues from my company's customers."

"Oracle Cloud offers more of the basic functionality needs than other cloud providers offer."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is a cloud-based solution."

"We use Oracle Cloud to host the OIC (Oracle Integration Cloud Service) and APEX."

"I love that all the things I need are in one place."

"The availability of the solution is excellent."

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

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) pros

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

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

"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."

"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 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."

"This solution is as good as any other S/4HANA SAP solution, and the continuous support we get is very valuable."

"It is a stable and scalable product."

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

More SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud pros

Cons

"Oracle Cloud is still young compared to AWS or Microsoft. They still need to develop in many areas."

"Sometimes when we install something, we need to partition and maybe rebuild the index. This can cause some issues for performance. In the future, I would like to see more stability and fewer bugs."

"The initial setup can be a bit complex."

"The product could use some more development and maturity so it has more peripheral functionality already integrated."

"The pricing is a bit expensive."

"More technical papers could be published to help out professionals."

"I would recommend this solution to other people."

"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."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) cons

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

"I would rate the stability a four out of ten. It's an area that could use improvement"

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

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

"There are a lot of dependencies on SAP. A customer doesn't have much flexibility to go and update the systems as they wish."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"My ROI has increased."

"The subscription cost is too high."

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

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

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

"Oracle Cloud's pricing is competitive. The tool changes its pricing when there is a change in its architecture."

"Oracle Cloud Platform's pricing is comparable to other solutions, but it is definitely not cheap."

"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."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) pricing and cost advice

"Our pricing is based on a yearly contract."

"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 solution's cost is reasonable."

"The price is expensive compared to the competition."

"The solution could be less expensive."

"It's very, very expensive."

"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."

"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."
