We performed a comparison between Microsoft Azure and Oracle Cloud Platform based on our users’ reviews in five categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: Microsoft Azure wins out in this comparison. Our reviewers agree that Microsoft Azure is a robust, easy to manage, and stable solution. Oracle Cloud Platform did come out on top in the Pricing and Ease of Deployment categories.
"Technical support has been extremely helpful."
"I think Azure's level of automation to achieve efficiency or agility is valuable. I also like the change capability cadence, the showback capabilities, and understanding what our costs are."
"Reliable with ease of provisional services."
"The stability has been excellent."
"It is easy to use and flexible."
"The most valuable features I have found to be the auto-scaling feature and the interface."
"With the Azure solution, you can get more value from your cloud investment no matter what your future goals are. It depends on your level of familiarity with the cloud you are using or with your computing. Azure helps you with every stage of the cloud."
"Microsoft Azure is an optimized solution when we compare it to any other particular cloud solution."
"Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is about as stable as the other CSPs, but Oracle Cloud is more common in Korea."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the high level of performance for the databases."
"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 is a good solution because with large data platforms the data migration can be a challenge and this is the reason to move and migrate towards the cloud from on-premises."
"The technical support is good, they have been responsive and helpful."
"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."
"Integration with more platforms needs improvement."
"There is a need to be better on-premise solutions that are more helpful. However, I don't think that is the goal of Microsoft Azure. They want the solution to be secure cloud solutions with cloud applications. This is their main goal at the moment."
"Support could be improved. If you pay for a higher plan, it's okay, however, the lower plans don't offer as good of a service experience."
"Any time you use a cloud service, there are increased security risks. If you want more security, you have to have private hosting."
"Microsoft Azure can improve by adding more features for virtual machines, such as tier virtual machines."
"Maybe Azure could add an address code to create your analysis without SQL or Python because some business users don't want it to code. So it's good to have a service application that connects to the data lake to conduct analysis and simplify the business process."
"The alerts management should be improved. Alerts management is very complicated to configure. You have to go through a lot of tests and config action groups to set up those things. It is very complicated, and it can be simplified."
"Performance could be improved."
"Since our Oracle products are on premise we cannot get the premier Oracle products."
"I think that there could be a more user-friendly environment when it comes to the options that Oracle presents through the Oracle Cloud Platform."
"Some of the features of this solution, such as the digital assistant, require extensive configuration before they are suitable for use. We would like these to be made more straightforward and to require less manual input."
"The monitoring tool and the migration from on-premise to the cloud should be much easier."
"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."
"There should be more management automation."
"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."
