Cloud platform has supported cost control and database integration but still needs better metrics and storage

I have not used Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI)'s networking solutions today. I studied it somewhat, but it is not my main area currently. We had some problems sometimes with Autonomous Database in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), for example, in the past months related to the asset of the metrics. We found problems related to what we wanted to show to the customer about the database because many metrics were missing. We usually worked together with members of Oracle Italia to ask them to introduce some metrics, for example, those that do not work correctly about CPU usage, memory usage, or network usage. There were some metrics in Oracle Autonomous Database in dedicated infrastructure that did not allow us to show correct information to the customer. We usually needed to ask Oracle Italia to introduce some metrics or clarify metric usage. In some cases, they showed incorrect data in the output, so we had to work with them to solve this problem. I am speaking about problems from approximately one year ago, so I do not know if they have fixed all of it now. One problem I faced in the past with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) was also related to documentation. Sometimes there are differences between Oracle Autonomous Database usage on shared infrastructures compared to dedicated infrastructures. When searching for documentation, it is not clear if one aspect or solution is usable in both technologies or on both shared and dedicated infrastructures. I found some documents proposed for Autonomous Database and then discovered that the case was applicable only for shared infrastructure, not dedicated. Oracle Italia explained to me that Oracle Autonomous Database on shared and dedicated are different products. However, I do not understand why if I have the same version of Oracle in both architectures, I cannot have access to some tools or internal packages in both technologies. We usually had to ask them to introduce also in dedicated infrastructures the use of some Oracle PL/SQL packages, some internal packages, for example, for the management of queues. Another aspect is that the storage of Oracle is not very user-friendly. In Autonomous, for example, where I think an autonomous database should manage storage correctly on its own, my experience is that often we have many allocated storage spaces that are free, but it is impossible to reclaim. We need to expand storage and pay for it, even though it is free. I think that regarding the internal management of storage, Oracle can improve.

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 solution is stable."

"There is ROI with the product's use."

"What I like most about Oracle Cloud Platform is the ease of getting data in and out of the cloud, and the affordable licensing."

"The most valuable feature is the reporting service."

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

"The most valuable features are the manageability and the user interface."

"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."

"The pricing of the solution is pretty good."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) pros

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

"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."

"It's a very low-cost option for a business to start with."

"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."

"Reduces man-hours and speeds up business operations."

"The solution's technical support is good."

"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."

More Oracle Java Cloud Service pros

Cons

"The solution isn't very mature. The on-premises deployment has more features and the cloud needs to work to match those options."

"The customization and the requests put through were not flexible enough."

"The AI capabilities and the power automate platform that Azure is offering seem to be way ahead of what Oracle is offering."

"The solution could always be less expensive."

"The monitoring tool and the migration from on-premise to the cloud should be much easier."

"It could be improved on the user-friendly side."

"The setup was not very simple but not complex either."

"The portfolio should improve for the Oracle Cloud Platform. Oracle has to increase the services offered. New services should be added to be able to compete better with Amazon AWS which is the best, and the biggest service. Oracle Cloud Platform has a small portfolio, but it's a good one."

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."

"Some of the automated platform patches broke our existing functionality and we were not notified about it."

"I think there should be improvement with the speed and it should offer a more diverse selection of the suites that I can use."

"I would like to see more monitors for standard edition"

"Customer service could be improved."

"Needs better integration with other Oracle/non-Oracle products."

"There are issues with the application's development, including small glitches and errors."

"So far, the only issue I have is with the storage cloud."

More Oracle Java Cloud Service cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I compared Oracle Cloud Platform with other competitor providers like Azure, and I don't think Oracle is too expensive."

"Oracle Cloud Platform's pricing is comparable to other solutions, but it is definitely not cheap."

"The pricing is reasonable."

"Its pricing is complex, but as partners, we can get away with quite a bit of discounting because we deal with them directly. I would rate their pricing probably a one or two out of five because they're quite expensive. Microsoft Azure will probably be the cheapest because depending on the Microsoft product that you have, they have some sort of bundling. There are things that they give you to get you onto Azure. AWS is probably somewhere in the middle."

"The pricing is a little bit expensive compared to other products."

"The price of the solution should be reduced to a price that people can afford."

"The product’s pricing is reasonable compared to other tools in the market."

"The subscription cost is too high."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) pricing and cost advice

"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."

"Oracle Java Cloud Service is an expensive product."
