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.

Offers low-code/no-code concept makes development much easier and faster and offers good community support as the development team actively answers questions on the community every day

There are very minor things, like the feature called "action chains," that could use a bit of enhancement. But the team is perfect; they're working on it. An action chain is a sequence of actions triggered by a button or an event. It executes code in order, from top to bottom. For example, it could call a code, call a REST service, and then insert data into a database. It needs enhancement because it can be a bit complex for fresh grads or new developers to understand. It would be better if it was made more readable. That's the main point. But if you have experience, you'll understand it easily. One more thing I want to add about Visual Builder: up until two years ago, it supported native mobile development. That's not available anymore. They replaced native mobile development with progressive web apps, and most customers are complaining about that. We need native mobile development back – the ability to put apps on stores like Google Play or the App Store. That feature is not available right now, and they deprecated it starting in 2024. It's very important. Otherwise, clients go with Flutter or other mobile development tools. It would be good for Oracle to regain that capability. We need the native mobile development feature back.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is the reporting service."

"I find the interface to be great."

"The technical support is good, they have been responsive and helpful."

"I like that the program is flexible. I can use it to write Java scripts. I also like the website, because it constantly updates me on things, like artificial intelligence, and the latest technology. I read the articles, on the latest technology that programmers can use."

"It has improved my company by cutting my time to market."

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

"I like the solution’s stability, performance, and fault alerts."

"You can customize everything according to your preferences. I've reached out to customer support many times. I highly recommend using Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. With the product, you have complete control over the management of your system."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) pros

"You don't need a dedicated IDE to develop. You can work from any browser, which is very convenient. And, with the cloud concept, your code is stored in the cloud, so you can modify it from anywhere, at any time."

"The action chains are really helpful, and the trigger event, along with those action chains, has been very helpful."

"The most valuable feature was the visual drag and drop on the components."

"The tool is very easy to use."

"The initial setup is easy."

"VBS is another tool that allows users to create enterprise applications without needing to store their projects in traditional databases like SQL."

Cons

"The solution is expensive"

"Oracle Cloud is not a user-friendly tool. From an improvement perspective, I want Oracle Cloud to be more user-friendly."

"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."

"One improvement that would be helpful is the addition of a replication option on their Standard Edition OD service. Currently, this option is not available, which leads many customers to move to the Enterprise edition. However, other cloud service providers, such as Amazon AWS offer replication options at a similar tier. It would be beneficial if Oracle also explored providing this option for their Standard Edition service."

"Areas that need improvement are the pricing and the support."

"The product features related to the manufacturing domain must be improved."

"The technical support is really bad, because their reaction time is extremely slow."

"The solution's reporting part is not good and needs more development."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) cons

"The feature called "action chains" could use a bit of enhancement."

"The initial setup of Oracle VBCS can be challenging for those unfamiliar with DBS."

"There are some bugs in VBCS."

"There was an attempt to enable front-end development, it did what it intended to do, but the side effects were too bad."

"The tool has minor bugs."

"I would improve the license structure as, for some companies, it may seem a little bit expensive, depending on what they're doing."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"The solution is cheaper compared to Oracle E-Business Suite."

"The pricing is reasonable."

"The price for Oracle Cloud may seem expensive, but if you start comparing features and what Oracle offers, you'll realize that the pricing for Oracle Cloud is competitive. If you consider every aspect of Oracle Cloud, you'll see that its price tag is reasonable because it has a good user interface, user experience, and management. Oracle Cloud is a sophisticated infrastructure and the level of management it allows you to enjoy isn't available in other solutions, so I wouldn't worry about needing to invest huge money into it because it's a wonderful product to use."

"The solution is expensive according to services and competition. Also, it is not prevalent in the market. I rate the solution’s pricing a seven on a scale of ten, where ten is expensive, and one is cheap."

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

"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."

"I would rate the tool’s pricing a ten out of ten since it is expensive."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) pricing and cost advice

"It's not expensive when you consider what it provides: low-code/no-code development, faster development time, good quality, and good stability."

"Oracle Visual Builder Cloud Service is much too expensive."
