Featured Reviews

Kevin-Davis - PeerSpot reviewer
Efficient deployment and management of web apps with integration into cloud services
One area where AWS Elastic Beanstalk struggles is with the complexity of deployments. As deployments become more complex, technical constraints can become a burden. This can lead to a situation where I might be better off building my own deployment mechanism. Additionally, CloudFormation controlling AWS Elastic Beanstalk in more complex environments is poorly supported, which can make management challenging.
Labhesh Hase - PeerSpot reviewer
Cost-effectiveness and pricing consistency support diverse high-intensity applications
The services of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) are quite competent when compared to AWS Cloud, and they are also lower in cost. We use compute, storage, and network services. A notable feature is Oracle Cloud Infrastructure's consistent global pricing, which is advantageous. Furthermore, applications using Oracle Database not only work seamlessly on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) but also benefit from a 25% offset on Oracle Database licenses.

"Elastic Beanstalk helps reduce system administration as it automates many tasks."
"The management of environments is a valuable feature."
"Elastic Beanstalk, based on my experience and recommendations from friends, is a good solution."
"One of the most valuable aspects is that developers can access logs directly. They can download them from the AWS console within Elastic Beanstalk."
"It has improved my company by cutting my time to market."
"Overall, there are some very good features on Oracle and it offers good customization capabilities."
"This is a highly available and scalable solution that can host both modern and legacy on-premises applications."
"It's a cloud, so it is easy to access anywhere."
"The pricing of the solution is pretty good."
"Oracle is a very useful tool in terms of usability and customization."

Cons

"There are areas for improvement in Elastic Beanstalk, especially in the management part."
"From what I've observed, it seems AWS has ceased further development on Elastic Beanstalk."
"Sometimes there are issues when auto-scaling with CloudFront."
"There are areas for improvement in Elastic Beanstalk, especially in the management part. Tasks like creating load balancers and retiring versions require manual code updates, and URL changes can be time-consuming."
"One area where AWS Elastic Beanstalk struggles is with the complexity of deployments. As deployments become more complex, technical constraints can become a burden."
"One area where AWS Elastic Beanstalk struggles is with the complexity of deployments."
"Logs and debugging can sometimes be cumbersome, and there could be a more seamless method to analyze application issues without relying heavily on CloudWatch, which would improve my experience."
"Sometimes it is difficult to use for the first time. The automatic scaling functionality could use improvement."
"It takes more time to release resources than one of its competitors."
"The packaging part of the software needs improvement. It lacks customization abilities for users. Giving them VMs for machine learning or running their own programs like Azure and Amazon, for example. Things like scalability based on the requirement of the tools. Oracle still lacks these kinds of things. For example, if you need a VM from Oracle, you need to pay for a monthly fee. They started developing containership but it's still at the initial stage and it's still lacking. They also need to develop integration between packages."
"​Customer service could be improved.​"
"Technical support could be more responsive."
"I would recommend this solution to other people."
"Pricing could be improved considering competition and market conditions."
"Technical support does not offer the best service and should be improved."
"The solution's reporting part is not good and needs more development."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is reasonable."
"The solution is expensive."
"I compared Oracle Cloud Platform with other competitor providers like Azure, and I don't think Oracle is too expensive."
