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."The most valuable feature is that it offers several adaptors."
"I find the Single Sign-On, SSO, feature to be valuable."
"The solution offers many features and it is a complete replica of our data center."
"The features allow you to connect the service solutions with the client's requirements. It is user-friendly, easy to navigate and provides assistance."
"I am impressed with the tool's upscaling and resiliency features."
"OCI's best features are its price, databases, and Linux compatibility."
"It is a stable solution since it offers a very powerful performance to its users."
"We have seen a return on investment."
"The solution is scalable."
"SAP has provided very good support."
"The integration flows are the most valuable feature of this solution."
"It is a stable solution, as I never encountered issues when using it."
"The ability to expand it whenever required has been great — it's very simple."
"It’s easy to maintain, as everything is handled by SAP."
"Feature-wise, I like it since it allows you to integrate with multiple applications. There are available connectors that allow you to integrate."
"SAP Cloud Platform's most valuable features are its exhaustiveness, scalability with minimum maintenance, and functionality."
"OCI's user interface is awful and needs to be modernized."
"This service is very specific to Oracle and we cannot have other types of workloads on Oracle Cloud."
"The solution does not follow a retention policy while taking ad hoc backups. Since it does not follow the retention policy, we had to do the manual task to check the backups."
"The solution requires tighter integration capabilities."
"It isn't easy to get qualified people who know how to work on this tool. All my administrators are learning as they go. Since this is the only cloud solution provider in Saudi Arabia, and it has only been around for one year, I am sure that this will change with time."
"Technical support could be more responsive."
"The scalability requires some improvement. This is one of the most important things they need to get better at."
"The solution is expensive. So we try to use MySQL on AWS to push the data. The tool’s support could be improved."
"While it was good for a small entity, it was not ideal for a large enterprise."
"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."
"SAP Cloud Platform's installation is not straightforward. You need a person with knowledge to handle it."
"I can’t speak to features that may be missing."
"I feel that SAP provides the tools, but after that, you are left on your own. It would be better if they provided more support throughout the usage of their solutions."
"The areas I think this solution should improve are monitoring and adapting."
"Better connectivity to on-premise systems would help us to support older systems that are migrating to the cloud."
"When I started looking at the client's IT architecture, I started by doing a study of their services, DVM, data volume, and management services. According to the results, they could be a lot better at this."
