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 initial setup was easy, and it takes just a few minutes to create a virtual machine."
"Our recommendations are good, and we also have a bidding platform that is helpful for managed service providers. This platform can save customers up to 2-3 weeks in billing time, from 25 days to 3-4 days. We have two products: a basic product and a cloud optimization product. Both products help customers improve the performance and cost-efficiency of their cloud environments."
"Oracle Cloud is definitely a product that I recommend, especially for existing Oracle customers."
"Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is about as stable as the other CSPs, but Oracle Cloud is more common in Korea."
"The performance and processing capability are excellent."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Cloud is the digital assistant."
"The pricing of the solution is pretty good."
"I find the interface to be great."
"Developers deploy their builds and if we need to scale the environment we can do it quickly."
"It is pretty easy to use."
"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."
"Cloud has provided less maintenance."
"The Oracle Java Cloud Service has enabled our developers to focus on what they do best: developing modern Java applications."
"The solution's technical support is good."
"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."
"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 Oracle technical support is okay; it is nothing great and has not changed with the onset of the cloud products."
"Oracle support could be better; we had cases where certain regions experienced specific issues and received little help from Oracle."
"There should be more management automation."
"​Customer service could be improved.​"
"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."
"This service is very specific to Oracle and we cannot have other types of workloads on Oracle Cloud."
"It should have other workloads from other suppliers running on the solution."
"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."
"So far, the only issue I have is with the storage 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."
"It has been built on Java technology but requires more integration with other APIs and CI tools."
"There are issues with the application's development, including small glitches and errors."
"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."
"I think there should be improvement with the speed and it should offer a more diverse selection of the suites that I can use."
"Customer service could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive."
"Oracle offers universal credit and pay-as-you-go options."
"The solution is free to use."
"The costs involved are low when it comes to Oracle Cloud, especially when compared to AWS."
"Oracle Cloud Platform has a decent pricing model."
"It's very expensive compared to AWS."
"The cost may be a bit high for many potential users."
"The solution is expensive. I would rate the pricing as ten out of ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"Oracle Java Cloud Service is an expensive product."
"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."
"It is somewhat expensive."
