I consider them good partners when it comes to support.

Having a contact point from Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) allowed for direct email communication.
Oracle support is very friendly and provided free of cost.

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure excels in scalability, offering flexibility and robust performance but requires manual configurations compared to some competitors.
If I had to rate scalability from one to ten, I would rate it a nine as we have never faced any issues with scalability.
This solution is suitable for enterprise-level organizations, particularly in finance and healthcare domains where there is substantial data volume.
There are no issues with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure's support for scalability demands.

Google Cloud is generally stable and reliable, though some users note limited issue visibility and minor performance differences.
Sentiment score
7.9
OCI offers reliable performance and stability with high ratings, despite initial challenges and concerns about support responsiveness.
 

Room For Improvement

Google Cloud needs improved user-friendliness, cost transparency, multilingual resources, integration, security, and support for right-to-left languages.
Oracle Cloud users seek better support, documentation, scalability, integration, interface, and competitive pricing compared to AWS and Azure.
If the hierarchy or similarities were the same, that would help developers more conveniently migrate from a traditional SQL server to BigQuery.
An area of improvement could be the release of products prior to general availability not being performant, as releasing to private preview occurs too soon before products are ready.
Providing more hypervisors would be beneficial.
AWS services typically offer more flexibility to end users.
 

Setup Cost

Google Cloud's pricing is scalable and efficient but needs more flexibility, transparency, and modular offerings to satisfy users fully.
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure offers flexible pricing, perceived as cost-effective and competitive compared to AWS and Azure.
As far as I know, it is a little more expensive compared to other cloud options.
A 50% cost reduction compared to AWS was estimated.
 

Valuable Features

Google Cloud offers ease of use, scalability, robust hosting, excellent security, and seamless service integration with global accessibility.
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure offers flexible, secure, and scalable solutions with seamless integration, cost-efficiency, and global availability for disaster recovery.
The most valuable features of Google Cloud for us are the integration with Kubernetes, IAM, Istio integration, and Terraform capabilities.
We mainly use Google Cloud products that are centered around Data Warehouse, specifically BigQuery.
If customers use different technologies within their environment, GCP cannot offer a full performance analysis covering all the disclosures.
Applications using Oracle Database not only work seamlessly on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) but also benefit from a 25% offset on Oracle Database licenses.

Featured Reviews

Saurav Singh - PeerSpot reviewer
Integration with Kubernetes and flexibility improve our application deployment process
The logging could be improved; there's currently no intuitive way to filter logs on the Google console, especially for individuals who are not familiar with query languages. Our non-technical users find it difficult to access logs. Additionally, the user interface could be more user-friendly and intuitive compared to our previous experience with AWS.
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.
