Offers flexibility and better accessibility to users
Pros and Cons
  • "It is pretty easy to use."
  • "The security part of the tool is not so strong, making it an area I would like to see improved in the solution."

What is our primary use case?

I use the solution in my company to store and analyze data to increase performance and reduce costs. I am not the cloud specialist on my team, but I know just the basics.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is flexible in the work, more accessible, and you can make changes in the cloud. It is pretty easy to use. The security part of the tool is less strong. The product's flexibility compensates for the lack of strength in the area of security.

What needs improvement?

The security part of the tool is not so strong, making it an area I would like to see improved in the solution. When working with a cloud tool, it's never 100 percent secure and it is always something to take into account. I would like to be more comfortable working with it and feeling safer.

In the future, the tool can be made faster.

In the future, I would like to see maybe some AI features in the tool to help automate stuff. You need to be able to create your own models to help create some automated actions.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Oracle Java Cloud Service for less than two years. I am an end-user of the tool.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Stability-wise, I rate the solution an eight out of ten. The tool is always dependent on servers.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

In terms of scalability, it helps if you want to add some stuff, and it is far more easy to work with, as you don't have to add any physical stuff to your project. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

Around 600 people in my company use the tool.

If the company keeps growing, and if we need more users, we surely have to expand it.

How are customer service and support?

The solution's technical support is helpful and responds quickly. As the tool has many users, you can always find answers to frequently asked questions on the internet if you are searching for a problem related to the tool. I rate the technical support a nine out of ten.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I only use Oracle Java Cloud Service.

How was the initial setup?

The product's initial setup phase was quite stressful at first, but there were no problems to report.

The solution is deployed on a private cloud using AWS services.

The solution can be deployed quickly, and it takes around 20 to 40 minutes.

What was our ROI?

I have an idea of whether the tool has fetched any financial benefits. When the cloud-based Oracle system was being used, my company had to spend less money on infrastructure, so they saved money. Even after paying for licenses, my company ended up with more financial benefits using the tool. The tool has helped save 30 percent in the area of operational costs.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

I did a comparative study on the pricing between Oracle and SAP S/4HANA, but it was related to databases and in the areas associated with the clouds. I can tell that Oracle is a little more expensive right now, but not much compared to SAP. Oracle's prices are very much dependent on the scale of the project and how many users are there. If you have a big project, you should be able to afford the tool, but it can still be a little expensive. I rate the tool's price a six or seven out of ten. My company has to go for a yearly subscription model. The tool offers a basic license, and you pay more for some features.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

I am not sure why my company chose the tool in the beginning. It probably depends on the number of users and the good technical support the tool offers.

What other advice do I have?

Three or four people outside the company manage the tool for our organization, and they solve all our problems with it.

There is a need to maintain the tool three times a year.

I recommend the tool to others.

The AI features in the tool are useful for some analytics and data analysis. I have a tool that is already automated and gives me reverts instantly, and I don't have to check everything by myself to make conclusions.

Given the security and the pricing, I rate the tool a seven and a half to eight out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Private Cloud

If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?

Amazon Web Services (AWS)

With a great technical support team, the tool also provides encryption features
Pros and Cons
  • "The solution's technical support is good."
  • "The product's high price is an area of concern where improvements are required."

What is our primary use case?

I use the solution for some government-related purposes in Korea.

What needs improvement?

The product's high price is an area of concern where improvements are required.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Oracle Java Cloud Service for fifteen years.

How are customer service and support?

I have contacted the solution's technical support. The solution's technical support is good. I have to raise a ticket with the support team to get an issue resolved. For global support, my organization needs to raise a ticket with Oracle's support team.

I rate the technical support a ten out of ten.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

How was the initial setup?

I am a project manager in my organization. The technical engineer takes care of the installation and setup process related to the product.

The solution is deployed on an on-premises model. In Korea, many government sites use Oracle Database. Nowadays, government sites operate on different cloud services like Azure, AWS, and Oracle Cloud. Oracle doesn't support AWS or Azure.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Oracle Java Cloud Service is an expensive product.

What other advice do I have?

I would say I use the product for the type of applications for which I use it for JSP and React. From a popularity angle, I would say that most of the sites related to the Korean government use Java, along with React and Vue.

I believe that my company probably uses the product for backup purposes. In Korea, many government sites use a backup solution that helps with the recovery part. The solution provides backups like live backup, backup for Oracle, and file backup. The product acts as a total backup solution.

The tool allows my organization to encrypt certain data in the database, specifically in Oracle Database.

I rate the overall tool an eight out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

On-premises
