Ensures students only have access while on campus but is expensive
It was limited because it was only to support a program. There was some benefits because we didn't have the infrastructure physically, so we would have to buy it. We didn't have to make an investment at the beginning. It has pay-as-you-use pricing. It was good for us. In this Business Intelligence and Analytics program, there are about 15 courses. In 10 courses, they use the cloud infrastructure, different software. They have MySQL database with lots of data. They have to do exercises and and analyze the the data. Basically, they had to do a lot of exercises regarding machine learning. Overall, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.

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

"The product is efficient and can be used for multiple environments."
"We use the the IBM cloud to provide the computing solution for the course."
"Apart from the licensing, there's support from Oracle Cloud Platform which improved our day to day operations, time is reduced, and based on this service we are able to scale up dependent applications as quickly as we can."
"Overall, I would rate Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) as nine out of 10."
"The product gives you independence from hardware onsite, the setup is easy, and there is no need for hardware maintenance."
"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 most important features are the turnkey solutions offered by Oracle. These ease the administration of Oracle Databases."
"The solution is easy to use."
"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."
"OCI's best features are its price, databases, and Linux compatibility."
 

Cons

"Price should be reduced."
"IBM Cloud Container Registry should improve its API management. One improvement factor could be enhancing the integration capabilities of container registries like Harbor with hyperscaler platforms. While some container registries, like Azure Container Registry and IBM Cloud Container Registry, are tightly integrated with their respective hyperscaler environments, others may lack integration options."
"The packaging part of the software needs improvement. It lacks customization abilities for users. Giving them VMs for machine learning or running their own programs like Azure and Amazon, for example. Things like scalability based on the requirement of the tools. Oracle still lacks these kinds of things. For example, if you need a VM from Oracle, you need to pay for a monthly fee. They started developing containership but it's still at the initial stage and it's still lacking. They also need to develop integration between packages."
"The solution needs to improve the creation process for server fonts and the usability and scripting methodology."
"It should have other workloads from other suppliers running on the solution."
"In the market, they are still not the best, however, they are working on it."
"The tool should provide more options like other cloud services. Also, it should improve scalability with the free version."
"The integration tools that they offer are quite complex to use."
"The billing and right sizing for optimization of your cost in the cloud, a well architected frame, should be improved as soon as possible; the framework from AWS is so good, I would like to see this feature in OCI."
"The solution requires tighter integration capabilities."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is recommended to enterprises due to its high costs."
"Oracle Cloud Platform has a decent pricing model."
"The solution is expensive. I would rate the pricing as ten out of ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"The price for Oracle Cloud may seem expensive, but if you start comparing features and what Oracle offers, you'll realize that the pricing for Oracle Cloud is competitive. If you consider every aspect of Oracle Cloud, you'll see that its price tag is reasonable because it has a good user interface, user experience, and management. Oracle Cloud is a sophisticated infrastructure and the level of management it allows you to enjoy isn't available in other solutions, so I wouldn't worry about needing to invest huge money into it because it's a wonderful product to use."
"The price is middling; it's not the most expensive product, but there is still some room for it to be more flexible."
"It is cheaper as a solution model. It isn’t cheaper than SAP but offers more features and competition."
"The product’s pricing is reasonable compared to other tools in the market."
"Oracle Cloud is cheaper than other products."
"There is a subscription cost rather than licensing for this product."
