Featured Reviews

Labhesh Hase - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Abhinand Gokhala K - PeerSpot reviewer
The product is user-friendly and performs well, but it is very costly compared to other tools
We are a software development company. We recommend solutions to our clients, but they ask us to compare it with other solutions. Clients compare the monthly costs of Pantheon with other servers and ask us to create the same environment in dedicated servers. If Pantheon reduces its cost, we can confidently suggest it to clients. Overall, I rate the tool a seven out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We have seen a return on investment."
"I find the interface to be great."
"Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is about as stable as the other CSPs, but Oracle Cloud is more common in Korea."
"The solution is pretty straightforward to setup and use."
"We appreciate the fact that this solution will operate with both native and third-party applications. This has meant that we don't need to change all of our systems to accommodate it within our network."
"The autonomous database functions are an excellent feature."
"The most important features are the turnkey solutions offered by Oracle. These ease the administration of Oracle Databases."
"I find the Single Sign-On, SSO, feature to be valuable."
"The product allows users to create multiple development environments."
"Pantheon has the most valuable workflow model."
 

Cons

"Areas that need improvement are the pricing and the support."
"The initial setup can be a bit complex."
"The solution is expensive"
"The solution is expensive. So we try to use MySQL on AWS to push the data. The tool’s support could be improved."
"The tool should provide more options like other cloud services. Also, it should improve scalability with the free version."
"It could be improved on the user-friendly side."
"They offer some basic services but the choice is not as rich as other cloud providers."
"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."
"Pantheon has the most valuable workflow model."
"The Multidev environment is very costly compared to other tools like AWS and GCP."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is free to use."
"I would rate the tool’s pricing a ten out of ten since it is expensive."
"The price is fair, but we have to manage it to keep it low."
"The licenses for this solution are very comprehensive and, therefore, very economical; there is only one cost, and it covers all available features without any chargeable add-ons."
"OCI's pricing is one of its best features."
"Oracle offers universal credit and pay-as-you-go options."
"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 pricing is a little bit expensive compared to other products."
"The platform has reasonable pricing compared to other systems."
