Support quality is good, but the main issue is the delay in handling tickets.
The response time for enterprise support needs improvement.
When issues arise, it takes them at least three to four hours to respond.
I have a premium subscription for Oracle Cloud, which ensures a high level of support.
Oracle is more cost-effective than competitors.
The ability to scale is well-supported.
It is a significant advantage of the product.
We are on a premium plan, which should handle scalability automatically.
The scalability of Oracle Cloud Object Storage deserves a perfect ten as it can be scaled easily.
We can adjust the number of CPUs as per our need and reduce the load.
It isn't as stable as sound storage systems in a premise environment.
Overall, the stability is very good.
None of the other storage vendors have all these features so easily manageable and fast to set up as Block Storage.
The system is stable, especially when set up in a single region.
Its compatibility with various platforms could be enhanced to allow for a seamless operation across different cloud environments.
Some alternatives are cheaper and available for long trial periods before the payment.
Enabling SFTP on Microsoft Azure Block Storage didn’t allow us to get the IP address, as Azure doesn’t support it.
The product can be difficult to use compared to how it is marketed.
I would like to know about integration with other Oracle Cloud services and whether it is easy to integrate Oracle Cloud Object Storage with other Oracle Cloud solutions.
The retrievability for Oracle Cloud Object Storage could be made simpler through the implementation of a GUI interface to retrieve data.
For medium-sized companies, especially when discussing cost and scalability, it can be quite expensive.
The cost for Azure Data Factory, utilized for intensive data migration, was high but expected, as it's a one-time activity.
It is reasonable, however, it can be cheaper.
The pricing for Oracle Cloud Object Storage deserves a perfect ten as it is very inexpensive.
It is an expensive product.
The pricing for Oracle Cloud is comparable to other cloud providers.
The tool allows me to download to my device, control access, and manage data with ease.
The ability to increase and scale out is really easy, allowing us to manage a large amount of data with reduced dependency on scalability issues.
I can store data, use the storage account as a queue, and the pricing is also quite economical.
High availability, a large dataset, and stability are our main criteria for using this solution.
I find manageability, scalability, and security of the product most valuable.
It also provides multi-region support, enhancing data accessibility and safety.
