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.

Quotes from Members

"I would rate the overall solution a ten out of ten."
"I find the versioning to be especially valuable on AWS Elastic Beanstalk."
"AWS Elastic Beanstalk helps improve my efficiency, saves time, and streamlines application hosting in the cloud."
"The most valuable feature of Elastic Beanstalk is its ease of use and management."
"Elastic Beanstalk simplifies deploying and managing applications."
"The management of environments is a valuable feature."
"The strength of this product is that they have many good database options, compared to other vendors."
"The pricing isn't too bad."
"The simple infrastructure of the service is very useful."
"The most important features are the turnkey solutions offered by Oracle. These ease the administration of Oracle Databases."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring."
"The most valuable features are the manageability and the user interface."
"The most valuable features of the solution are APEX, Threat Detector, and Cloud Guard."
"The most valuable feature is the reporting service."
 

Cons

"Maybe the company could create more option packages, such as more bundles of configuration."
"One area where AWS Elastic Beanstalk struggles is with the complexity of deployments. As deployments become more complex, technical constraints can become a burden."
"Sometimes there are issues when auto-scaling with CloudFront."
"The documentation needs to be clearer, particularly relating to editing JSON files before uploading applications."
"One area where AWS Elastic Beanstalk struggles is with the complexity of deployments."
"There are areas for improvement in Elastic Beanstalk, especially in the management part."
"The automatic scaling functionality could use improvement."
"Sometimes it is difficult to use for the first time. The automatic scaling functionality could use improvement."
"The solution should integrate better with other tools and different vendors."
"What I'd like to see from Oracle Cloud is an option for the customer to have a single portal to manage and monitor not just Oracle Cloud, but some of the on-premise products in the hybrid scenario as well. If it can be shipped out as an out-of-the-box solution, that would be wonderful. It's not so easy, but for a company like Oracle, it shouldn't be a problem. Many customers go through a lot of effort and burn money to achieve this, so it's an opportunity for Oracle to provide it for customers looking for this type of solution."
"There should be more management automation."
"The pricing model of Oracle Cloud Platform is an area of concern. Oracle Cloud Platform should be made available at a cheap price."
"Portability of the VMware environment into the Oracle Cloud should be made more simple."
"Oracle Cloud's price is very high."
"The solution is expensive"
"OCI's user interface is awful and needs to be modernized."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"On a monthly basis, we pay around $2,500 for licensing fees, with no additional costs. We do pay extra licensing for other on-premises solutions, but these are not related to Oracle Cloud Platform."
"The solution is expensive according to services and competition. Also, it is not prevalent in the market. I rate the solution’s pricing a seven on a scale of ten, where ten is expensive, and one is cheap."
"Costing depends on if you have an existing license for the application and for the operating system."
"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."
"I would rate the tool’s pricing a ten out of ten since it is expensive."
"The solution is cheaper compared to Oracle E-Business Suite."
"Its pricing is complex, but as partners, we can get away with quite a bit of discounting because we deal with them directly. I would rate their pricing probably a one or two out of five because they're quite expensive. Microsoft Azure will probably be the cheapest because depending on the Microsoft product that you have, they have some sort of bundling. There are things that they give you to get you onto Azure. AWS is probably somewhere in the middle."
"Oracle Cloud's pricing is competitive. The tool changes its pricing when there is a change in its architecture."
