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 ( /products/amazon-aws-reviews ) 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 ( /products/oracle-database-reviews ) not only work seamlessly on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) but also benefit from a 25% offset on Oracle Database licenses.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I find the versioning to be especially valuable on AWS Elastic Beanstalk."
"One of the most valuable aspects is that developers can access logs directly. They can download them from the AWS console within Elastic Beanstalk."
"The most valuable feature of Elastic Beanstalk is its ease of use and management."
"I highly recommend it to others and frequently discuss it with customers."
"Elastic Beanstalk helps reduce system administration as it automates many tasks."
"The feature I like most about Elastic Beanstalk is the way I do not have to do anything, just deploy my app."
"I would rate the overall solution a ten out of ten."
"AWS Elastic Beanstalk helps improve my efficiency, saves time, and streamlines application hosting in the cloud."
"We have not had any downtime using the solution."
"The pricing isn't too bad."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the high level of performance for the databases."
"The product helps us to use it as a central ERP and HCM."
"Apart from the licensing, there's support from Oracle Cloud Platform which improved our day to day operations. Time is reduced. Based on this service, we are able to scale up dependent applications as quickly as we can."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"Our recommendations are good, and we also have a bidding platform that is helpful for managed service providers. This platform can save customers up to 2-3 weeks in billing time, from 25 days to 3-4 days. We have two products: a basic product and a cloud optimization product. Both products help customers improve the performance and cost-efficiency of their cloud environments."
"I find the Single Sign-On, SSO, feature to be valuable."
 

Cons

"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 it is difficult to use for the first time. The automatic scaling functionality could use improvement."
"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 automatic scaling functionality could use improvement."
"Maybe the company could create more option packages, such as more bundles of configuration."
"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."
"There are areas for improvement in Elastic Beanstalk, especially in the management part."
"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."
"One improvement that would be helpful is the addition of a replication option on their Standard Edition OD service. Currently, this option is not available, which leads many customers to move to the Enterprise edition. However, other cloud service providers, such as Amazon AWS offer replication options at a similar tier. It would be beneficial if Oracle also explored providing this option for their Standard Edition service."
"They offer some basic services but the choice is not as rich as other cloud providers."
"Since our Oracle products are on premise we cannot get the premier Oracle products."
"The configuration through the cloud is complicated. It's not straightforward."
"The product could use some more development and maturity so it has more peripheral functionality already integrated."
"Specific to the Oracle Cloud; while they have been able to showcase inbuilt features for Oracle applications, what doesn't really come across clearly is what happens when you want to host, work with, or integrate with applications outside of the Oracle stack."
"OCI's user interface is awful and needs to be modernized."
"I work with many clouds and I would say, in comparison, others have a better presentation of services and they have clearer steps in terms of implementation."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The subscription cost is too high."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"Oracle Cloud Platform's pricing is comparable to other solutions, but it is definitely not cheap."
"The price of the solution should be reduced to a price that people can afford."
"The solution is overpriced."
