Enhance security with automated vulnerability detection and private registry support
We use Harbor for Docker containers to build from our GitLab CI/CD pipeline. This pipeline then automatically pushes to our Harbor instance. We are still working on storing Helm charts in the Harbor instance as well Harbor has improved our organization's security and stability in our container…
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

"Right now this is the leading product in this category."
"The most valuable feature of Harbor is its security scanning capability."
"Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is about as stable as the other CSPs, but Oracle Cloud is more common in Korea."
"I like having the ability to easily run Oracle Linux server instances and to deploy Oracle Middleware and WebLogic servers. Oracle's Infrastructure as a Service products are also very useful, and we're using those right now within Oracle OCI."
"We have not had any downtime using the solution."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is a cloud-based solution."
"The stability of the solution is very good...The technical support is good."
"We appreciate the fact that this solution will operate with both native and third-party applications. This has meant that we don't need to change all of our systems to accommodate it within our network."
"They seem to be more readily integrating with Azure, which is great."
"Oracle Cloud Platform has good scalability."
 

Cons

"The product should integrate better with other storage options."
"There is a need for more support for public repositories, like the Google Cloud GTR, which is not as integrated as desired."
"The GUI needs to improve."
"The AI capabilities and the power automate platform that Azure is offering seem to be way ahead of what Oracle is offering."
"The portfolio should improve for the Oracle Cloud Platform. Oracle has to increase the services offered. New services should be added to be able to compete better with Amazon AWS which is the best, and the biggest service. Oracle Cloud Platform has a small portfolio, but it's a good one."
"Lacking in additional PaaS services."
"The solution's reporting part is not good and needs more development."
"The price of the subscription is too high and excludes some potential customers."
"There is room for improvement for stability."
"The technical support is really bad, because their reaction time is extremely slow."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost of the product is free."
"Oracle Cloud Platform is a bit costly. You can always bring your own license or subscribe to the SaaS option, but the SaaS option is very costly. I rate the pricing a six out of ten."
"My ROI has increased."
"The license is a bit expensive for academic work."
"The solution is cheaper compared to Oracle E-Business Suite."
"The subscription is a pay-as-you-go model, with fees that are dependent on usage."
"The price is middling; it's not the most expensive product, but there is still some room for it to be more flexible."
"Oracle offers universal credit and pay-as-you-go options."
"In Oracle Cloud Platform, one needs to make payments towards the subscription charges."
