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.

Excellent support but it is a costly solution
The solution is working okay. But we are facing issues with the network because in our country, Yemen, we have some trouble. The country is very crazy because of the war we have. So, we are facing issues with the network. Most of the customers complain about the network communicating with the Cloud. We went with the Oracle solution for Interconnect because they are the preferred solution for that. But it is very unstable and the customer refuses to deal with it. They cannot do anything because Oracle recommends a stable network but we do not have that.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It is more secure and more controlled than an on-premises deployment."
"The feature I think should be improved is the option to rename the machines."
"The pricing of the solution is pretty good."
"The most valuable features of the Oracle Cloud Platform are good visualization and analytics, and the solution is very well integrated with predictive analytics and forecasting, with features that go beyond the traditional reports and visualization."
"It is a stable solution since it offers a very powerful performance to its users."
"Most of the features that I have used in the product are good and I am happy with it."
"Just having the many options and features offered by the product through the cloud is a major benefit."
"Oracle Cloud Platform has good scalability."
"I think the Oracle team is very good."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
 

Cons

"It isn't easy to get qualified people who know how to work on this tool. All my administrators are learning as they go. Since this is the only cloud solution provider in Saudi Arabia, and it has only been around for one year, I am sure that this will change with time."
"The solution should integrate better with other tools and different vendors."
"More technical papers could be published to help out professionals."
"The product's technical support is an area with shortcomings that need improvement."
"The customization and the requests put through were not flexible enough."
"The product roadmap strategy for some of the products is not clear."
"Portability of the VMware environment into the Oracle Cloud should be made more simple."
"The interface should be more user-friendly."
"Most of the customers complain about the network communicating with the Cloud."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing for Oracle Cloud services is reasonable. Additionally, compared to other service providers, Oracle has a substantial presence and established infrastructure in Bangladesh. Considering all these factors together makes Oracle Cloud an ideal choice and a strong contender in the market."
"My ROI has increased."
"I rate Oracle Cloud three to four out of ten on a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"On a monthly basis, we pay around $2,500 for licensing fees, with no additional costs. We do pay extra licensing for other on-premises solutions, but these are not related to Oracle Cloud Platform."
"OCI's pricing is one of its best features."
"Oracle Cloud is an expensive solution."
"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."
