Senior Oracle DBA at a financial services firm with 11-50 employees
Hybrid cloud has supported payment services and provides reliable networked virtual machines
There are no restrictions about usage of these virtual machines because Linux machines are used, and everything needed is installed on our own responsibility, as all applications are developed by vendors who produce them for us. This is why there are no restrictions felt in usage of cloud services. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) offers good services, though the price could be lower than it currently is. AI and machine learning features of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) have not been used in production, as research is being conducted in this area. Services provided to customers are very well tested, and untested services are not offered to customers. Currently, research is being conducted on the usage of AI offerings through Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) or other vendors of AI tools.

Offers flexibility and better accessibility to users
The security part of the tool is not so strong, making it an area I would like to see improved in the solution. When working with a cloud tool, it's never 100 percent secure and it is always something to take into account. I would like to be more comfortable working with it and feeling safer. In the future, the tool can be made faster. In the future, I would like to see maybe some AI features in the tool to help automate stuff. You need to be able to create your own models to help create some automated actions.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The stability of the solution is very good...The technical support is good."
"The solution offers many features and it is a complete replica of our data center."
"Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is about as stable as the other CSPs, but Oracle Cloud is more common in Korea."
"The environment is super fast so you get all the underlying machines behind the data. It's a good processing machine, especially in the Generation Two Cloud."
"The main benefit is that you're getting all of the resources you require on a subscription basis, so you get to pay as you go instead of having to have a CAPEX, and you convert your CAPEX to OPEX to cover the data center cost."
"Oracle Cloud offers more of the basic functionality needs than other cloud providers offer."
"Oracle is valuable for improving performance and addressing issues between the nodes of clusters for private IPs. It provides a private connection between the client and the security cluster."
"I like the consistency that the solution offers to its uses, and I also like how secure and powerful the solution is since I haven't had to deal with any issues from my company's customers."
"It is pretty easy to use."
"The product is very good, fine-tuned, and stable, and support is available 24/7 and is really fast and effective."
"Fast, rapid and agile development and deployment of an ADF application (within Proof-of-Concept project) involves four developers in a distributed team (across two different time-zones) and through this they are able to cooperate quickly, without the usual problems of dev/test environment deployments."
"Developers deploy their builds and if we need to scale the environment we can do it quickly."
"The solution's technical support is good."
"Demoing is always an expensive process, from procurement of hardware to installation of software, now it is easier, cheaper, and more elastic."
"The most valuable feature of the product is being able to test on multiple platforms for Oracle, for VMware, and so on."
"With Oracle Java Cloud Service, in a few clicks, you can set up an entire WebLogic server in the AWS cloud services and the storage cloud services."
 

Cons

"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."
"The price of the solution should be reduced to a price that people can afford."
"The solution should integrate better with other tools and different vendors."
"However, currently, some of its products are not as feature user-friendly as those of AWS."
"Oracle Cloud's price is very high."
"The solution's reporting part is not good and needs more development."
"The solution isn't very mature. The on-premises deployment has more features and the cloud needs to work to match those options."
"The deployment from on-premises to the cloud is a bit complicated."
"There are issues with the application's development, including small glitches and errors."
"Needs better integration with other Oracle/non-Oracle products."
"The product is satisfactory but we need more training on managing the machine itself. For example, how do we add more storage, how do we extend a specific portion? I would like to see videos illustrating some of the technical tasks that we often need to do."
"It needs to have the ability to create a service with the same name as another one when the initial creation failed as sometimes it's necessary to have a service with exact name."
"I think there should be improvement with the speed and it should offer a more diverse selection of the suites that I can use."
"Integration with Oracle products is well-supported. The same should be provided for other products that are used in most organizations, like PeopleSoft, CA, etc."
"So far, the only issue I have is with the storage cloud."
"The product's high price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Oracle Cloud Platform has a decent pricing model."
"On a monthly basis, we pay around $2,500 for licensing fees, with no additional costs. We do pay extra licensing for other on-premises solutions, but these are not related to Oracle Cloud Platform."
"I rate Oracle Cloud three to four out of ten on a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"Oracle Cloud's pricing is competitive. The tool changes its pricing when there is a change in its architecture."
"The price is fair, but we have to manage it to keep it low."
"It's very expensive compared to AWS."
"The license is a bit expensive for academic work."
"Oracle offers universal credit and pay-as-you-go options."
"It is somewhat expensive."
"Oracle is a little more expensive right now, but not much compared to SAP. Oracle's prices are very much dependent on the scale of the project and how many users are there."
"Oracle Java Cloud Service is an expensive product."
