Featured Reviews

Labhesh Hase - PeerSpot reviewer
Cost-effectiveness and pricing consistency support diverse high-intensity applications
The services of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) are quite competent when compared to AWS 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 not only work seamlessly on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) but also benefit from a 25% offset on Oracle Database licenses.
Adam Elguennioui - PeerSpot reviewer
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 feature I think should be improved is the option to rename the machines."
"The pricing of the solution is pretty good."
"OCI's best features are its price, databases, and Linux compatibility."
"The most valuable part of the Oracle Cloud Platform is the ability to develop applications that help us migrate information from on-prem to the cloud."
"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."
"The simple infrastructure of the service is very useful."
"Apart from the licensing, there's support from Oracle Cloud Platform which improved our day to day operations. Time is reduced. Based on this service, we are able to scale up dependent applications as quickly as we can."
"Technical support is good. We are partners with Oracle so we are always speaking with them."
"Self-provisioning, easy to choose from WebLogic 11g to 12c."
"The auto-backup, incremental backup and restoration features can be invaluable for management."
"The ability to manage security and access the server from any location with complete security using SSH is perfect for performing crucial tasks, even while travelling."
"Cloud has provided less maintenance."
"It is pretty easy to use."
"One key feature is getting to choose the Virtual Machine configurations while setting up the server, which is an automated process."
"The framework supports auto-configuration. A lot of features are already there. It is reliable and user-friendly to develop code, back-end engineering, or locate specific information such as addresses."
"Backing up and recovery for my domain is very easy and fast. In addition, applying patches and undoing applied patches is effective and easy to do."
 

Cons

"However, currently, some of its products are not as feature user-friendly as those of AWS."
"In the next release, I would like to see more automation."
"The solution’s support could be improved."
"There's a need for further customization to unlock the platform's full potential."
"The product's technical support is an area with shortcomings that need improvement."
"Nowadays, every SR is referred to Oracle Cloud Connect without a person actually handling the customer."
"Simplifying the cloud management console would be really valuable for small and large customers alike."
"This service is very specific to Oracle and we cannot have other types of workloads on Oracle Cloud."
"The security part of the tool is not so strong, making it an area I would like to see improved in the solution."
"Needs better integration with other Oracle/non-Oracle products."
"There are issues with the application's development, including small glitches and errors."
"The product's high price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The subscription is a pay-as-you-go model, with fees that are dependent on usage."
"The price is middling; it's not the most expensive product, but there is still some room for it to be more flexible."
"It is cheaper as a solution model. It isn’t cheaper than SAP but offers more features and competition."
"We pay the subscription cost."
"In Oracle Cloud Platform, one needs to make payments towards the subscription charges."
"There is a subscription cost rather than licensing for this product."
"The license is a bit expensive for academic work."
"Oracle Cloud's pricing is competitive. The tool changes its pricing when there is a change in its architecture."
"Oracle Java Cloud Service is an expensive product."
"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."
