IT Security Senior Manager at a educational organization with 1,001-5,000 employees
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.

Senior Oracle DBA at a financial services firm with 11-50 employees
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

"It has greatly improved the security posture of my applications, web applications, and also effectively mitigates DDoS attacks."
"The valuable features include its anti-PDUs, anti-bot protection, and web application firewall."
"What I like most about Oracle Cloud Platform is the ease of getting data in and out of the cloud, and the affordable licensing."
"The most valuable part of the Oracle Cloud Platform is the ability to develop applications that help us migrate information from on-prem to the cloud."
"The key feature of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is its seamless integration with Oracle applications."
"It's a very robust solution, especially for the environment that you move onto the cloud."
"The initial setup was easy, and it takes just a few minutes to create a virtual machine."
"The solution is easy to use."
"I find the Single Sign-On, SSO, feature to be valuable."
"From a Kenyan or African perspective, Oracle and Microsoft have a very good footprint across all the countries we operate in."
 

Cons

"The reporting needs improvement in Volterra. I do not have many options to create a customized report."
"Oracle Cloud could be improved with better third-party integrations."
"Oracle Cloud is not a user-friendly tool. From an improvement perspective, I want Oracle Cloud to be more user-friendly."
"Managed services for Postgres are not available in Oracle Cloud."
"Oracle does not provide very good support. It has been very bad support."
"Technical support does not offer the best service and should be improved."
"The solution's technical support services are more expensive than AWS. Also, they should expand the team to address day-to-day issues."
"It isn't easy to get qualified people who know how to work on this tool. All my administrators are learning as they go. Since this is the only cloud solution provider in Saudi Arabia, and it has only been around for one year, I am sure that this will change with time."
"It takes more time to release resources than one of its competitors."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"Costing depends on if you have an existing license for the application and for the operating system."
"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."
"OCI's pricing is one of its best features."
"The pricing is a little bit expensive compared to other products."
"It's very expensive compared to AWS."
"The price is middling; it's not the most expensive product, but there is still some room for it to be more flexible."
"The subscription cost is too high."
