Cost-effectiveness and pricing consistency support diverse high-intensity applications

The services of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) are quite competent when compared to AWS ( /products/amazon-aws-reviews ) Cloud, and they are also lower in cost. We use compute, storage, and network services. A notable feature is Oracle Cloud Infrastructure's consistent global pricing, which is advantageous. Furthermore, applications using Oracle Database ( /products/oracle-database-reviews ) not only work seamlessly on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) but also benefit from a 25% offset on Oracle Database licenses.

An easy-to-install tool with good technical support that offers features like map searching and risk management services

The initial setup of Oracle Developer Cloud Service was really easy since it can be done with the request in the cloud, and after that, you can use it directly. I read the initial setup a ten, on a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy. The solution is deployed on a public cloud. The deployment process took around a year.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"I am impressed with the tool's upscaling and resiliency features."

"The initial setup was straightforward."

"The simple infrastructure of the service is very useful."

"The solution offers many features and it is a complete replica of our data center."

"In terms of features, upgradeability to the latest version of Oracle suites has been a good feature. All we have to do is just patching or an upgrade, it's pretty easy. Then, it gets regularly updated. That's what I like about it."

"The product enables users to create their own reports."

"The most valuable feature is the reporting service."

"It is a stable solution...Since it is a cloud solution, I can say it is a scalable product."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) pros

"The APEX solution is the most interesting part of the Oracle Developer Service. APEX is the most cost-effective and most popular service for developers. Kubernetes and Docker services are also important and very much cost-effective, and helpful for developers. If we compare Oracle to other cloud services providers, they'll also be cost-effective. The financial involvement is also a good point because other cloud services charge for Docker and Kubernetes solutions. Oracle's offering is almost free. They only charge for the VM or virtual machine. This is also an interesting part for the developers as well."

"With the multi-tenant architecture, you can migrate many databases to one instance. This saves a lot of money and administrative work."

"The solution's technical support is really good."

Cons

"Oracle Cloud's price is very high."

"The solution is expensive. So we try to use MySQL on AWS to push the data. The tool’s support could be improved."

"Sometimes when we install something, we need to partition and maybe rebuild the index. This can cause some issues for performance. In the future, I would like to see more stability and fewer bugs."

"Lacking in additional PaaS services."

"Managed services for Postgres are not available in Oracle Cloud."

"The pricing is a bit expensive."

"OCI's user interface is awful and needs to be modernized."

"The setup was not simple."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) cons

"Improvements are needed in terms of the usage of the map chart and risk management services."

"Sometimes, I lose the cursor in the editor, and it disappears for no reason. It's hard to guess where I'm in the text, and I feel a bit lost."

"t would be better if the open-source databases were managed. Some managed services for open-source databases are available in other cloud solutions, but Oracle doesn't have any. They should provision more managed services for open-source databases like MongoDB and PostgreSQL. These types of managed database services should be available in Oracle Cloud Service and others. There are other technical issues like the CDN network that is not directly configured to Oracle and needs support from a third party. There are also some services available in AWS and Azure that should be included in Oracle Cloud Service."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The costs involved are low when it comes to Oracle Cloud, especially when compared to AWS."

"The best aspect of the Oracle Cloud Platform is the relation between the performance and the price. When you compare the price with Amazon AWS, Microsft Azure, or any other, the price for performance is the best."

"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."

"The product offers a subscription-based licensing model."

"The cost may be a bit high for many potential users."

"The pricing is reasonable."

"It's less expensive to operate your environment in the cloud than in-house. It's a bundle cost. Everything is included in one price."

"The price of the solution should be reduced to a price that people can afford."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) pricing and cost advice

"I rate the pricing two on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."

"Oracle Developer Cloud Service isn't an expensive product. It's definitely cheaper than any other enterprise cloud solution."
