We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The security is the most valuable feature, in particular, the way I can give different access to different areas to different people, so you can really fine-tune access for different users."

More Knack Pros →

"Overall, I would say that Oracle Cloud provides support with zero down time and the high probability is very good.""The solution offers many features and it is a complete replica of our data center.""Oracle Cloud Platform has good scalability.""The autonomous database functions are an excellent feature.""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.""I have found Oracle Cloud to be a scalable solution.""We are not using any features offered by OCI but only using virtual machines. So our data only syncs from our On-premises to cloud. The compute and performance are better than other cloud solutions.""The product helps us to use it as a central ERP and HCM."

Cons
"The user interface for the systems that you build can use some improvement because as it is now, you have to do a lot of HTML and CSS to make it look modern."

More Knack Cons →

"The solution is expensive. So we try to use MySQL on AWS to push the data. The tool’s support could be improved.""Specific to the Oracle Cloud; while they have been able to showcase inbuilt features for Oracle applications, what doesn't really come across clearly is what happens when you want to host, work with, or integrate with applications outside of the Oracle stack.""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.""The pricing is a bit expensive.""Amazon AWS has a better solution overall.""The product's technical support is an area with shortcomings that need improvement.""Oracle Cloud's price is very high.""The main issue for the clients is that they need to understand the credit payments because if it's a currency that's not dollars or euros, Oracle will always convert it into credits and that's not easy for the customer to understand at the beginning."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "This product has really good value, as it doesn't have a per-user cost, there's a flat fee."
  • More Knack Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Make sure you read the fine print."
  • "My ROI has increased."
  • "It's not that expensive. I think it's maybe half or one-fourth of our actual on-prem cost, especially in Oracle Data Integrator. It's pretty cheap. Maybe around $30,000 or $40,000 per month."
  • "Costing depends on if you have an existing license for the application and for the operating system."
  • "The cost may be a bit high for many potential users."
  • "The pricing is a little bit expensive compared to other products."
  • "Improvements can be made with respect to flexibility in the licensing model."
  • "There is a subscription cost rather than licensing for this product."
