Has very intuitive dashboards and it scales very well; documentation needs a lot of improvement
I think the major difference between Google App Engine and every other similar product is its management. It's easier to manage App Engine than many of the other platforms that I've used. Google did a good job in terms of building a user interface so you can easily explain it to a non-technical person. It's just that the use case is very, very limited. Apart from web apps, you can't run other specialized applications on App Engine. If you're building a multi-threaded application on App Engine it's very tricky. For multi-threaded applications, I would go for something much more robust like Cloud Run or Cloud GKE, not App Engine.

A solution that hosts application databases and provide excellent support
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure stands out due to its exceptional performance and advanced technology. The progress and innovation demonstrated by Oracle are truly impressive and exceed my expectations. OCI's capabilities are remarkable, and it is challenging to identify any weaknesses. One noteworthy aspect is OCI's ability to integrate seamlessly with other cloud platforms, offering unparalleled flexibility. Unlike other clouds that limit service provision solely within their ecosystem, OCI allows customers to interact with various cloud environments, including in-house servers. This interoperability extends to significant competitors like Azure, providing users with unmatched connectivity options. In summary, OCI sets a high standard in the cloud industry, and I am grateful for its capabilities. While OCI provides a solid foundation with its existing analytics and data warehousing tools, businesses often have unique needs that require tailored solutions. While Oracle offers great tools for developers, data scientists, and AI enthusiasts, there's a need for further customization to unlock the platform's full potential. Compared to other vendors, Oracle stands out with its AI, analytics, and data management offerings. Still, additional expertise and customization can help businesses maximize their OCI investment and achieve their goals.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Google App Engine's most valuable feature is self-management. You do not have to manage the infrastructure underneath where all the functions are happening, such as load balancing deployment and version management, they are managed by the system itself."
"The initial setup is okay. It's not too complex. Deployment took about one day."
"Seurity features - unauthorized individuals are unable to access certain applications."
"The product's setup and deployment phases are easy."
"I've found that all of the features are valuable, especially the shared drive and the ability for multiple people to use their documents at the same time."
"The solution is serverless, so we don't have to operate it."
"The WhatApp feature is the most valuable."
"Administering App Engine is simple; it has intuitive UIs and a very scalable app engine."
"We are not using any features offered by OCI but only using virtual machines. So our data only syncs from our On-premises to cloud. The compute and performance are better than other cloud solutions."
"The most valuable features of Oracle Cloud are the ease of navigation and stability. The solution is more feature-rich and powerful than these smaller alternatives."
"I head the sales and marketing team. So, specifically on the feature set side, multi-tenancy is the one that I'm most familiar with. It's also the one that we found to be the most beneficial to us because it allows us to take clients that have multiple sites. For instance, one of our larger clients, which is a bank based out of South Africa, has offices in multiple countries. It allows us to multi-tenant each and create a tenant for each country within multi-tenanted architecture."
"The most valuable feature is the reporting service."
"The strength of this product is that they have many good database options, compared to other vendors."
"The product is scalable."
"Overall, there are some very good features on Oracle and it offers good customization capabilities."
"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."
 

Cons

"Difficult to assess how pricing is managed."
"Data consumption of the device could be improved."
"The documentation and community are lacking for this product."
"I am limited to sending a photo to five people. I want to be able to send a photo to many people, not just five."
"There needs to be more directions in terms of how to use the solution."
"Some features of runtime don't work well in App Engine."
"The support for the Indian region is not as good as compared to the support that is offered to the regions in Europe."
"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The portfolio should improve for the Oracle Cloud Platform. Oracle has to increase the services offered. New services should be added to be able to compete better with Amazon AWS which is the best, and the biggest service. Oracle Cloud Platform has a small portfolio, but it's a good one."
"The tool should provide more options like other cloud services. Also, it should improve scalability with the free version."
"Portability of the VMware environment into the Oracle Cloud should be made more simple."
"Oracle Cloud could be improved with better third-party integrations."
"I would like more technical expertise."
"The price of the subscription is too high and excludes some potential customers."
"They could add more features."
"The pricing is a bit expensive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would like to have more free application with it. Some of the applications, I am paying more for them. I think that they must be free."
"If we don't know how to work with the tool, we might have some spikes in price."
"We pay the license yearly. It's about $6 a month, which is $72 a year per person, so it's about $500."
"Oracle Cloud Platform's pricing is comparable to other solutions, but it is definitely not cheap."
"Oracle Cloud Platform is a bit costly. You can always bring your own license or subscribe to the SaaS option, but the SaaS option is very costly. I rate the pricing a six out of ten."
"The solution's cost could be better."
"Oracle Cloud is cheaper than other products."
"Pricing needs to be improved."
"The price is middling; it's not the most expensive product, but there is still some room for it to be more flexible."
"The subscription cost is too high."
"The pricing is a little bit expensive compared to other products."
