Researched Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) but chose SAP Cloud Platform: Stable with good CPS and project management capabilities
Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The product is scalable.""Overall, there are some very good features on Oracle and it offers good customization capabilities.""The environment is super fast so you get all the underlying machines behind the data. It's a good processing machine, especially in the Generation Two Cloud.""It is a strong tool that offers more dynamic reporting capabilities while being user-friendly at the same time, and it can also be made better.""Frankly speaking, I've been very impressed with the stability the solution offers. Everything is working very well at the moment, and we haven't had any issues or faced any bugs or glitches.""It is a stable solution since it offers a very powerful performance to its users.""We have seen a return on investment.""Oracle Cloud is reasonably scalable - I'd rate it seven out of ten."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Pros →

"The mapping transformation allows us to connect our on-premise ECC to the cloud system.""The most valuable feature is the data synchronization, or the push and pull of the data.""SAP is an excellent company with an excellent reputation, excellent products, and dedicated customer support.""Though I'm not a massive fan of the SAP Cloud Platform, it has good features, such as its integration with other SAP solutions. When integrating with SAP or even the SAP sister company SuccessFactors and other companies SAP has acquired, you also enjoy data features in the SAP Cloud Platform, such as role-based permissions and other characteristics you can import from SAP.""One of the most valuable features I have found is that the solution is secure.""The maintenance part can be outsourced easily.""SAP has provided very good support.""Improved our speed to bring our mobile applications into productive use in a cost-effective way."

More SAP Cloud Platform Pros →

Cons
"Technical support could be a bit better.""The solution is expensive. So we try to use MySQL on AWS to push the data. The tool’s support could be improved.""The product roadmap strategy for some of the products is not clear.""It takes more time to release resources than one of its competitors.""The product's resilience is an area of concern where improvements are required.""OCI's user interface is awful and needs to be modernized.""Amazon AWS has a better solution overall.""I would like more technical expertise."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Cons →

"Better connectivity to on-premise systems would help us to support older systems that are migrating to the cloud.""My impression of the stability is that it is not good. Almost every month there is something new and that makes us nervous about delivery.""In person, when the development happens, we were told that it's flexible and customizable. However, sometimes, it's challenging to customize.""The solution requires more flexibility overall.""They are still developing this product. It does not really have 100% of the necessary features available to properly service business clients""It would be helpful to have additional samples for SoapUI that include interface methodologies and templates.""The areas I think this solution should improve are monitoring and adapting.""We need to connect our ERP solution via the VPN. We need to make sure our ERP solutions aren't exposed to the outside world. Our teams really struggle with this."

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 costs for this solution are based on the number of users and the bandwidth."
  • "SAP's pricing is usually high compared to the competition. But this is also justified because they hold their products and services to quite high standards."
  • "The pricing can be negotiated."
  • "The cost when it comes to monitoring can be difficult."
  • "SAP offers yearly, subscription-based, and pay-as-you-use licensing."
  • "Cost-wise, I'm unsure of how expensive the SAP Cloud Platform is."
  • "SAP Cloud Platform costs $2 to $5 per hour, while I found other platforms way more affordable. You have to pay per use, though that's fine because that means the cost is flexible."
  • "The price of the solution depends on the package that is purchased. There are many packages to choose from. The packages are not overly expensive."
