Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Oracle and others in PaaS Clouds."We use Amazon Lightsail for hosting security components in-house and AI modules."
"The most valuable features are the usability and customer service."
"In Lightsail, they simplified to do it in as few clicks as possible. So, around ten clicks, I have a virtual machine deployed."
"The initial setup is pretty easy."
"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."
"The solution is pretty straightforward to setup and use."
"The performance and processing capability are excellent."
"I find the Single Sign-On, SSO, feature to be valuable."
"Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is about as stable as the other CSPs, but Oracle Cloud is more common in Korea."
"It is a stable solution...Since it is a cloud solution, I can say it is a scalable product."
"The deployment is most valuable feature."
"The initial setup of Oracle Cloud is simple...It is a scalable solution."
"When you need to add some custom rules to Amazon Lightsail, the auto scaling feature is a bit difficult."
"I don't see this solution as enterprise-ready, for bigger companies like banks."
"Currently, there is limited support available while installing or configuring it, and resources are primarily available through community-contributed articles."
"To improve, I feel the disk management is too basic. I can't easily partition the disk for the operating system. I have to follow the main configuration that is already set up in the template. To partition the disk, I would need to deploy the operating system first and then make changes, but it's not an ideal method. I would recommend improving the disk management."
"Areas that need improvement are the pricing and the support."
"Sometimes when we install something, we need to partition and maybe rebuild the index. This can cause some issues for performance. In the future, I would like to see more stability and fewer bugs."
"Some of the features of this solution, such as the digital assistant, require extensive configuration before they are suitable for use. We would like these to be made more straightforward and to require less manual input."
"The setup was not simple."
"This service is very specific to Oracle and we cannot have other types of workloads on Oracle Cloud."
"Oracle Cloud is not a user-friendly tool. From an improvement perspective, I want Oracle Cloud to be more user-friendly."
"More technical papers could be published to help out professionals."
"They offer some basic services but the choice is not as rich as other cloud providers."
