We performed a comparison between Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) and SAP Cloud Platform based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two PaaS Clouds solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Oracle Cloud has wonderful features and offerings as a service. It's not just a pure-play cloud product or SaaS application. It has a complete suite from infrastructure to platform as a service to software as a service, and this is what I find most valuable in Oracle Cloud. For infrastructure on the cloud or infrastructure as a service on the cloud, there's OCI (Oracle Cloud Infrastructure). Oracle Cloud is easily available. You just click it. I also found the feature of creating a landing zone valuable. Oracle Cloud is also very flexible as it lets you have a hybrid cloud model along with other cloud solutions. I also like that it offers good management on the cloud. Oracle Cloud is ready to use as a service, and that's wonderful because the time to market is very quick. I also like that Oracle Cloud offers high performance and high availability. A lot of people claim that there's high availability in their companies' cloud operations, but technically speaking, pure high availability in today's context is found in Oracle Cloud."
"Oracle Cloud is reasonably scalable - I'd rate it seven out of ten."
"OCI's best features are its price, databases, and Linux compatibility."
"The product helps us to use it as a central ERP and HCM."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Cloud is its autonomous database."
"The feature I think should be improved is the option to rename the machines."
"The most valuable feature is that it offers several adaptors."
"I like the solution’s stability, performance, and fault alerts."
"The mapping transformation allows us to connect our on-premise ECC to the cloud system."
"We primarily utilize SAP's ERP capabilities."
"The HANA replications are very useful."
"The integration flows are the most valuable feature of this solution."
"The ability to build custom applications on the BTP platform, reducing customization on the SAP HANA system and improving performance and management."
"To be able to define multiple sub accounts in order to accommodate and separate development, test, and productive environments."
"The entire SAP ecosystem is a valuable feature. It provides access to SAP S/4HANA, ACG systems, and their Fiori launchpad, making it easy to navigate between them. This makes the enterprise very accessible."
"SAP has provided very good support."
"The integration tools that they offer are quite complex to use."
"The Oracle Cloud platform remains complex, and despite the abundance of resources available, significant challenges can still arise during the migration process from a legacy or on-premise system. Conversely, smaller companies with less complicated systems, such as those with a two million budget, can migrate more easily."
"The solution’s support could be improved."
"In the next release, I would like to see more automation."
"The biggest challenge I'm having with the cloud offering is the sizing. So, pricing becomes difficult. The sizing challenge is in terms of being very clear on how your data growth or your requirements would be. It becomes a bit difficult to be able to ensure that there's enough future proofing in what you've signed. At the same time, the whole idea behind the cloud is to be able to pay for what you use. You don't want to pay for something that you're not using."
"I would recommend this solution to other people."
"Some of the features of this solution, such as the digital assistant, require extensive configuration before they are suitable for use. We would like these to be made more straightforward and to require less manual input."
"The framework from AWS is so good, I would like to see this feature in OCI."
"They are still developing this product. It does not really have 100% of the necessary features available to properly service business clients"
"Shows errors without providing any analysis."
"The addition of more industry use cases would be an improvement."
"From what I understand, the SAP Cloud Platform is for implementation on AWS or Azure, and it's not meant to be a full-fledged cloud solution, so while using the platform, an area for improvement is that it has fewer offerings and is less flexible when compared to AWS. AWS has a lot more flexibility than the SAP Cloud Platform. I've also used Azure in college and AWS in between, and I prefer AWS over the SAP Cloud Platform. The only reason I would ever stick with the SAP Cloud Platform is to create applications integrated with SAP or with other companies within SAP, such as SuccessFactors. When you go into the SAP Cloud Platform web page, it's a bit bland and has relatively limited offerings. For example, there doesn't seem to be in-house MongoDB support, but I realize there's in-house support for the PostgreSQL database, so there are fewer offerings in the SAP Cloud Platform. Yes, you can always go for a database on the actual MongoDB server rather than depending on the offerings of the SAP Cloud Platform. However, it's still better to support MongoDB from the platform, so payment is consolidated, rather than going to a different location to make a payment. Another room for improvement in the SAP Cloud Platform is the need to create an SAP subaccount if you need to use the platform unless you have an SSO login by Google or if you're using a different identity provider such as Microsoft or Google. Instead of requiring dependency on SAP, it would be good if users could use the SAP Cloud Platform even without a subaccount on SAP. For example, when hosting an application on AWS or Azure, you don't have to create an account in Amazon or Microsoft. You can still do it using Google. You can use almost anything, so I'd like SAP to improve by removing the dependency, particularly the requirement to create an SAP account to use the SAP Cloud Platform."
"When they innovate too fast, they end up confusing their customers."
"I want to see better pricing from the SAP Cloud Platform in the future. I also want more security and scalability from it."
"Lacks flexibility in its licensing structure."
"The tool's UI is not very intuitive for cloud integration, so it needs research to understand its options and how it may work."
