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
SAP Consultant at SA&BC
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 deployment is most valuable feature."
"The product enables users to create their own reports."
"The strength of this product is that they have many good database options, compared to other vendors."
"The product's configuration is simple."
"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."
"We have seen a return on investment."
"The autonomous database functions are an excellent feature."
"The simple infrastructure of the service is very useful."
"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."
"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."
"The auto-backup, incremental backup and restoration features can be invaluable for management."
"The solution's technical support is good."
"Cloud has provided less maintenance."
"Self-provisioning, easy to choose from WebLogic 11g to 12c."
"The automated features of auto-purging in 12c helps clear disk space on a routine basis."
 

Cons

"They could add more features."
"They offer some basic services but the choice is not as rich as other cloud providers."
"The initial setup can be a bit complex."
"The product roadmap strategy for some of the products is not clear."
"The packaging part of the software needs improvement. It lacks customization abilities for users. Giving them VMs for machine learning or running their own programs like Azure and Amazon, for example. Things like scalability based on the requirement of the tools. Oracle still lacks these kinds of things. For example, if you need a VM from Oracle, you need to pay for a monthly fee. They started developing containership but it's still at the initial stage and it's still lacking. They also need to develop integration between packages."
"Managed services for Postgres are not available in Oracle Cloud."
"It takes more time to release resources than one of its competitors."
"The solution's scalability is an area with shortcomings...Mid-level customers feel that Oracle is not scalable in their environment and is an enterprise-level segment solution."
"The product's high price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The security part of the tool is not so strong, making it an area I would like to see improved in the solution."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"My ROI has increased."
"Make sure you read the fine print."
"I would rate the tool’s pricing a ten out of ten since it is expensive."
"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 solution is cheaper compared to Oracle E-Business Suite."
"It's very expensive 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."
"Costing depends on if you have an existing license for the application and for the operating system."
"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."
