Featured Reviews

Kunal Das - PeerSpot reviewer
Test Engineer at Happiest Minds Technologies
Quick automation has simplified my app deployments and has let me focus on data engineering
The overall experience with AWS Elastic Beanstalk was excellent. The performance made deploying and managing my application very easy, and it was really smooth and efficient. The automatic scaling can be improved so it can handle traffic changes more smoothly. I have given a rating of nine out of ten because auto scaling works reliably and it handles traffic spikes well with minimal manual effort needed. There is a balance between simplicity and control. I have not given a ten out of ten because sometimes the scaling decision can feel slightly delayed depending on the metrics. AWS Elastic Beanstalk is powerful, but not as advantageous or granular as ECS or EKS auto-scaling. Customization is good but not fully flexible for complex architectures.

Hybrid cloud has supported payment services and provides reliable networked virtual machines
There are no restrictions about usage of these virtual machines because Linux machines are used, and everything needed is installed on our own responsibility, as all applications are developed by vendors who produce them for us. This is why there are no restrictions felt in usage of cloud services. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) offers good services, though the price could be lower than it currently is. AI and machine learning features of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) have not been used in production, as research is being conducted in this area. Services provided to customers are very well tested, and untested services are not offered to customers. Currently, research is being conducted on the usage of AI offerings through Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) or other vendors of AI tools.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"There is nothing that makes me frustrated while using AWS Elastic Beanstalk, and I would definitely recommend AWS Elastic Beanstalk to others as it is perfect for quick deployment with minimal infrastructure overhead."
"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."
"One of the most valuable aspects is that developers can access logs directly. They can download them from the AWS console within Elastic Beanstalk."
"Elastic Beanstalk is helpful and easy to manage services, even when dealing with multiple clients."
"The management of environments is a valuable feature."
"Elastic Beanstalk simplifies deploying and managing applications."
"The simplicity in the speed of provisioning users is what I like best about Elastic Beanstalk."
"Clients are able to reduce their costs by using Oracle Cloud."
"It is a stable solution...Since it is a cloud solution, I can say it is a scalable product."
"OCI's best features are its price, databases, and Linux compatibility."
"The technical support is good, they have been responsive and helpful."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Cloud is the digital assistant."
"The main benefit is that you're getting all of the resources you require on a subscription basis, so you get to pay as you go instead of having to have a CAPEX, and you convert your CAPEX to OPEX to cover the data center cost."
"The tool is a leader in cloud technology and it is very professional."
"The most valuable feature is that it offers several adaptors."
 

Cons

"Sometimes there are issues when auto-scaling with CloudFront."
"Maybe the company could create more option packages, such as more bundles of configuration."
"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."
"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."
"The documentation needs to be clearer, particularly relating to editing JSON files before uploading applications."
"Sometimes it is difficult to use for the first time. The automatic scaling functionality could use improvement."
"The automatic scaling can be improved so it can handle traffic changes more smoothly."
"AWS Elastic Beanstalk could improve its auto-scaling feature to better detect potential AI-based attacks or misuses that could lead to unexpected costs."
"The product roadmap strategy for some of the products is not clear."
"The solution is expensive. So we try to use MySQL on AWS to push the data. The tool’s support could be improved."
"Nowadays, every SR is referred to Oracle Cloud Connect without a person actually handling the customer."
"Simplifying the cloud management console would be really valuable for small and large customers alike."
"The interface should be more user-friendly."
"The solution needs to improve the discovery and assessment of the existing infrastructure."
"The functionalities could be simplified as it is a bit difficult to learn."
"The billing and right sizing for optimization of your cost in the cloud, a well architected frame, should be improved as soon as possible; the framework from AWS is so good, I would like to see this feature in OCI."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The cost may be a bit high for many potential users."
"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."
"OCI's pricing is one of its best features."
"My ROI has increased."
"I rate Oracle Cloud three to four out of ten on a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"It's very expensive compared to AWS."
"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."
