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.

Adam Elguennioui

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

"We use the solution for EC2. It helps me to create around six servers for free to test out things. It also provides me with an authenticated cloud nameserver. We also use it as a wireguard endpoint."

"Oracle Cloud Platform has good scalability."

"The initial setup was easy. It takes just a few minutes to create a virtual machine."

"Oracle is a very useful tool in terms of usability and customization."

"The stability of the solution is very good...The technical support is good."

"Oracle Cloud Platform is a good solution because with large data platforms the data migration can be a challenge and this is the reason to move and migrate towards the cloud from on-premises."

"This is a highly available and scalable solution that can host both modern and legacy on-premises applications."

"The product's configuration is simple."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) pros

"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."

"It is pretty easy to use."

"Self-provisioning, easy to choose from WebLogic 11g to 12c."

"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."

"One key feature is getting to choose the Virtual Machine configurations while setting up the server, which is an automated process."

"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."

"The automated features of auto-purging in 12c helps clear disk space on a routine basis."

"Cloud has provided less maintenance."

More Oracle Java Cloud Service pros

Cons

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

"The pricing model of Oracle Cloud Platform is an area of concern. Oracle Cloud Platform should be made available at a cheap price."

"Database instances and computer storage are areas with shortcomings in the product that need improvement."

"Some of the features of this solution, such as the digital assistant, require extensive configuration before they are suitable for use. We would like these to be made more straightforward and to require less manual input."

"The solution is expensive"

"They offer some basic services but the choice is not as rich as other cloud providers."

"They could improve their global presence and marketing strategy to compete effectively with the likes of AWS."

"Portability of the VMware environment into the Oracle Cloud should be made more simple."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) cons

"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."

"The product's high price is an area of concern where improvements are required."

"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

"The solution is expensive."

"OCI is the cost-effectiveness compared to other similar services, assuming all compliance regulations are met. Additionally, they offer a number of things free of charge, which is particularly beneficial for smaller clients."

"It is cheaper as a solution model. It isn’t cheaper than SAP but offers more features and competition."

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

"The solution is overpriced."

"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 solution's cost could be better."

"It's very expensive compared to AWS."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) pricing and cost advice

"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."
