"The product has been very stable for us so far."
"The design of Microsoft Azure is for it to be scalable and it is scalable."
"If you're interested in going with Microsoft, my advice would be to do it. Everybody's using Microsoft."

"With Microsoft Azure, we have a platform that lets us easily deploy applications to the cloud."
"Azure allows us to bring applications to life quickly."
"There are a lot of valuable features in Microsoft Azure, such as Kubernetes, pipelines, and development environments."
"I like the solution’s stability, performance, and fault alerts."
"It's a cloud, so it is easy to access anywhere."
"I like that the program is flexible. I can use it to write Java scripts. I also like the website, because it constantly updates me on things, like artificial intelligence, and the latest technology. I read the articles, on the latest technology that programmers can use."
"The pricing isn't too bad."
"The product gives you independence from hardware onsite, the setup is easy, and there is no need for hardware maintenance."
"You can customize everything according to your preferences. I've reached out to customer support many times. I highly recommend using Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. With the product, you have complete control over the management of your system."
"We have not had any downtime using the solution."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the Interface."
"Microsoft Azure needs to improve its user interface. New developers and teams have difficulty understanding its lifecycle."
"It would be helpful if it offered more integration with other platforms."
"Performance could be improved."
"The solution could improve the stability. However, this could be a configuration issue that we are not been trained."
"Difficult to understand how it works and it's an expensive solution."
"I would recommend some enhancement regarding integration features."
"I don't understand why we spend so much time and money on Azure when Microsoft relies on third-party companies for support in the CSP model. I don't know how the support model works within Microsoft, but giving it to poor-performing third-party companies is not ideal."
"I would like to see more advanced functionality in terms of information security."
"There is room for improvement for stability."
"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."
"The pricing is a bit expensive."
"Amazon AWS has a better solution overall."
"The biggest challenge I'm having with the cloud offering is the sizing. So, pricing becomes difficult. The sizing challenge is in terms of being very clear on how your data growth or your requirements would be. It becomes a bit difficult to be able to ensure that there's enough future proofing in what you've signed. At the same time, the whole idea behind the cloud is to be able to pay for what you use. You don't want to pay for something that you're not using."
"I would like the Oracle Cloud Platform to have a more user-friendly UI similar to Microsoft Azure."
"I would recommend this solution to other people."
"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."
