Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The initial setup of Oracle Cloud is simple...It is a scalable solution.""The product is easy to use and deploy.""Oracle does well when it comes to data privacy and security, which are critical.""Apart from the licensing, there's support from Oracle Cloud Platform which improved our day to day operations. Time is reduced. Based on this service, we are able to scale up dependent applications as quickly as we can.""I like having the ability to easily run Oracle Linux server instances and to deploy Oracle Middleware and WebLogic servers. Oracle's Infrastructure as a Service products are also very useful, and we're using those right now within Oracle OCI.""I haven't experienced any instability or downtime in Oracle Cloud over the past three years. It is scalable The support team was good. The initial setup is straightforward to configure. I rate the solution a nine out of ten with ten being the highest.""I like that the program is flexible. I can use it to write Java scripts. I also like the website, because it constantly updates me on things, like artificial intelligence, and the latest technology. I read the articles, on the latest technology that programmers can use.""The most valuable features are the manageability and the user interface."

"The product’s high availability is its best feature.""It is indeed a stable solution, but it depends on how you architecture the component in AWS. If the component has the right architecture and is properly provisioned and placed, then it will be a stable platform.""SAP S4HANA's most valuable features include backup, security, storage, infrastructure, and enabling AI.""The solution is scalable.""There are two main features that we find very valuable. One is the interface and the new user experience. That's really, really helpful for the end-user. The second is the HANA database itself because it speeds up the process. In other solutions, like Oracle, there is a lot of redundancy that slows things down.""SAP S4HANA on AWS has high performance. All the data is in one place and it's real-time. When you make an entry you don't have to wait a couple of minutes, hours, or overnight as something the batch process takes time. It is instantaneous and is available to everybody.""We have approximately 1,000 people using the solution in my organization. The solution is scalable.""I like that they are very familiar with our VM which makes it easy to use."

Cons
"The solution is expensive. So we try to use MySQL on AWS to push the data. The tool’s support could be improved.""The price of the subscription is too high and excludes some potential customers.""The framework from AWS is so good, I would like to see this feature in OCI.""The solution could always be less expensive.""There is room for improvement for stability.""Since our Oracle products are on premise we cannot get the premier Oracle products.""The configuration through the cloud is complicated. It's not straightforward.""The deployment from on-premises to the cloud is a bit complicated."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Cons →

"I would rate my experience with the initial setup a three out of ten, where one is difficult and ten is easy.""There are times when the solution can become slower. The stability could improve.""SAP S4HANA on AWS could improve by having more data centers because there are limited data centers in the region I am in. Amazon AWS has announced a few more data centers to be added, but they're still not 100 percent operational for SAP solutions.""SAP S4HANA on AWS could improve by having the entire solution available as a web solution. They only have Fiori right now, and it's a solution for certain modules, but not for all the modules that SAP currently has. We would like to see the GUI removed, it is not very good. We want it to be web-based.""The solution is costlier than other products.""The platform's front-end user interface needs improvement compared to other applications.""This solution is very resource-intensive, including high memory and CPU utilization.""S4HANA is expensive. It costs much more than SuccessFactors."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Make sure you read the fine print."
  • "My ROI has increased."
  • "It's not that expensive. I think it's maybe half or one-fourth of our actual on-prem cost, especially in Oracle Data Integrator. It's pretty cheap. Maybe around $30,000 or $40,000 per month."
  • "Costing depends on if you have an existing license for the application and for the operating system."
  • "The cost may be a bit high for many potential users."
  • "The pricing is a little bit expensive compared to other products."
  • "Improvements can be made with respect to flexibility in the licensing model."
  • "There is a subscription cost rather than licensing for this product."
  • More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Licensing fees are on an annual basis."
  • "The licensing of the product is reasonable but the cost of the hardware is exorbitant."
  • "We pay a monthly fee for the use of SAP S4HANA on AWS for approximately five years. That's the time of the contract."
  • "The price of SAP S4HANA on AWS is reasonable, given how much it costs to maintain a scratch-built system. To upgrade the support there is a fee."
  • "SAP S4HANA's pricing model should be more flexible and transparent - there's a lot of negotiation and internal factors, and some customers get better value and services for the same product."
  • "I would rate the pricing as a two and a half out of five."
  • "Compared to its competitors, SAP S4HANA on AWS is a costly solution."
  • "It's expensive. It would be good if AWS and Azure could reduce the computing cost for people who move to the public cloud."
