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

"We use the solution for EC2. It helps me to create around six servers for free to test out things. It also provides me with an authenticated cloud nameserver. We also use it as a wireguard endpoint."
"Oracle does well when it comes to data privacy and security, which are critical."
"Oracle Cloud Platform is a good solution because with large data platforms the data migration can be a challenge and this is the reason to move and migrate towards the cloud from on-premises."
"It's a very robust solution, especially for the environment that you move onto the cloud."
"It's a cloud, so it is easy to access anywhere."
"Overall, I would rate Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) as nine out of 10."
"The pricing of the solution is pretty good."
"The solution is easy to use."
"If a customer is looking for the latest innovations or products from SAP this solution is perfect for them."
"We are very happy with this solution, and the processes and the way we take advantage and use assistance are good."
"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 interface is easy to manage."
"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."
"The solution is online and provides a real-time information feature, which makes a huge difference to the business, especially in reviews and meetings."
"My company has not had any problems with the product's initial setup phase."
"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."
 

Cons

"The solution's technical support services are more expensive than AWS. Also, they should expand the team to address day-to-day issues."
"I would recommend this solution to other people."
"There have been long waitings for Oracle Support to solve some problems, but these problems were not related directly with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI)."
"Amazon AWS has a better solution overall."
"Technical support needs to be more knowledgeable. This is an area that needs improvement."
"Simple provisioning is fine, but when it comes to complex provisioning, Oracle Cloud is not quick compared to competing solutions."
"The initial setup can be a bit complex."
"This service is very specific to Oracle and we cannot have other types of workloads on Oracle Cloud."
"I would rate the stability a four out of ten. It's an area that could use improvement"
"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."
"There are a lot of dependencies on SAP. A customer doesn't have much flexibility to go and update the systems as they wish."
"This product is not mature enough at this point in time."
"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 SAP products are complicated to deploy anywhere."
"SAP support isn't on par with products like Microsoft Azure or AWS. It's nowhere close to the competitors."
"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."
 

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 costs involved are low when it comes to Oracle Cloud, especially when compared to AWS."
"There is an annual and a subscription option."
"The price is fair, but we have to manage it to keep it low."
"The price of the solution should be reduced to a price that people can afford."
"Oracle Cloud is an expensive solution."
"The best aspect of the Oracle Cloud Platform is the relation between the performance and the price. When you compare the price with Amazon AWS, Microsft Azure, or any other, the price for performance is the best."
"The product’s pricing is reasonable compared to other tools in the market."
"The product itself is relatively 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."
"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."
"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."
"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 price is expensive compared to the competition."
