Featured Reviews

Ossama ElGedawy - PeerSpot reviewer
Has integrated protection with effective mitigation of DDoS attacks
The valuable features include its API Security, anti-bot protection, and web application firewall. It has greatly improved the security posture of my applications, web applications, and also effectively mitigates DDoS attacks. Before implementing the DDoS protection on F5 Volterra, there were about three successful DDoS incidents. Afterward, I did not experience a single incident for eight months.
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

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

Pros

"The valuable features include its anti-PDUs, anti-bot protection, and web application firewall."
"It has greatly improved the security posture of my applications, web applications, and also effectively mitigates DDoS attacks."
"I have found Oracle Cloud to be a scalable solution."
"The flexibility is most valuable. By having our infrastructure in the cloud, we are able to spin up instances as needed and alter the capacity as needed."
"We use the solution for EC2. It helps me to create around six servers for free to test out things. It also provides me with an authenticated cloud nameserver. We also use it as a wireguard endpoint."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"I head the sales and marketing team. So, specifically on the feature set side, multi-tenancy is the one that I'm most familiar with. It's also the one that we found to be the most beneficial to us because it allows us to take clients that have multiple sites. For instance, one of our larger clients, which is a bank based out of South Africa, has offices in multiple countries. It allows us to multi-tenant each and create a tenant for each country within multi-tenanted architecture."
"This is a highly available and scalable solution that can host both modern and legacy on-premises applications."
"Oracle is a very useful tool in terms of usability and customization."
"There is ROI with the product's use."
 

Cons

"The reporting needs improvement in Volterra. I do not have many options to create a customized report."
"The reporting needs improvement in Volterra."
"Simplifying the cloud management console would be really valuable for small and large customers alike."
"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."
"They could add more features."
"This service is very specific to Oracle and we cannot have other types of workloads on Oracle Cloud."
"With the Oracle Cloud Platform, they have to give first some proper documentation with a step-by-step process. Then the customer is able to use it properly. Nowadays, the Oracle Cloud Platform requires lots of floor work."
"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."
"They could improve their global presence and marketing strategy to compete effectively with the likes of AWS."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The costs involved are low when it comes to Oracle Cloud, especially when compared to AWS."
"In Oracle Cloud Platform, one needs to make payments towards the subscription charges."
"The product’s pricing is reasonable compared to other tools in the market."
"The subscription is a pay-as-you-go model, with fees that are dependent on usage."
"The solution's cost could be better."
"Oracle Cloud's pricing is competitive. The tool changes its pricing when there is a change in its architecture."
"The solution is expensive. I would rate the pricing as ten out of ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"The license is a bit expensive for academic work."
