Senior Oracle DBA at a financial services firm with 11-50 employees
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.

Real-time behavior insights have transformed support automation and boosted conversion rates
Several aspects and features require improvement. I believe an easier setup and faster onboarding is required because Session AI is already powerful, but the initial setup feels somewhat complex for new users. The configuration of rules and integration may require technical understanding, and the team often needs support during the early implementation. I would prefer a more guided or template-driven onboarding experience that would help teams become productive faster. I think a more transparent AI decision explanation is needed because the system makes real-time decisions. Sometimes it is not entirely clear why a specific action is triggered by Session AI, and there is limited visibility into AI reasoning in some cases, making it harder to debug or fine-tune strategies. I would like to see in the future a clear explanation of why a decision was made by Session AI, which would enhance trust and optimization for customers. Enhanced reporting and visualization are needed because while real-time actions are strong, deeper post-session analytics could be improved. More granular dashboards for business users, better visualization of journey impact over time, and easier comparison of campaigns or segments are required. I would prefer a stronger analytic layer for long-term strategy insights. Regarding integration support, I think a deeper and faster integration is required because the experience can be improved further by the enterprise ecosystem. If integration requires additional configuration efforts and real-time data sync with external platforms, it feels as though it can sometimes be optimized. A broader plug-and-play support from CDPs and CRM tools and the analytic stack would help customers. I want to see a more extensive integration marketplace with pre-built connectors and a simpler setup flow, reducing implementation time and effort. The support is generally helpful, but the resolution time for advanced and edge case issues feels as though it can sometimes be improved. Basic queries are resolved quickly, but complex workflow or integration issues may take longer to troubleshoot. Proactive guidance during implementation would be valuable, such as adding dedicated solution engineers or faster escalation paths for enterprise customers to enhance the experience. To make Session AI perfect, I believe that areas including onboarding and setup can be improved for initial users. Integration could be smoother, and reporting can be enhanced for long-term insights. These are improvements that would make it a perfect 10 out of 10. The performance, monitoring, and debugging tools could be better because when multiple real-time strategies run simultaneously, it sometimes feels difficult to trace performance issues. There is also limited visibility into how individual rules impact latency and outcomes, and debugging complex decision workflows requires effort. An improvement could be a more advanced real-time monitoring dashboard for rule performance, latency, and impact tracing, which would help the team optimize faster.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The functionality of these platforms is the same, but the performance of this solution for IAM is better."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) is Data Safe, which allows for the masking and encryption of personal identifiable information, ensuring data security."
"This is a highly available and scalable solution that can host both modern and legacy on-premises applications."
"Especially when it comes to the Database as a Service, which we use a lot, I can easily vouch for that if you are looking for good database performance."
"The product enables users to create their own reports."
"Oracle Cloud has wonderful features and offerings as a service. It's not just a pure-play cloud product or SaaS application. It has a complete suite from infrastructure to platform as a service to software as a service, and this is what I find most valuable in Oracle Cloud. For infrastructure on the cloud or infrastructure as a service on the cloud, there's OCI (Oracle Cloud Infrastructure). Oracle Cloud is easily available. You just click it. I also found the feature of creating a landing zone valuable. Oracle Cloud is also very flexible as it lets you have a hybrid cloud model along with other cloud solutions. I also like that it offers good management on the cloud. Oracle Cloud is ready to use as a service, and that's wonderful because the time to market is very quick. I also like that Oracle Cloud offers high performance and high availability. A lot of people claim that there's high availability in their companies' cloud operations, but technically speaking, pure high availability in today's context is found in Oracle Cloud."
"What I like best about Oracle Cloud is that it is an all-in-one system for everything."
"Oracle does well when it comes to data privacy and security, which are critical."
"We have observed approximately a 15% to 25% improvement in conversion rates after implementing Session AI."
 

Cons

"I would recommend this solution to other people."
"Technical support could be a bit better."
"There's one app I have to install on my device, the Articulate Player app. It's only available on Apple and Android, but it's not available for Windows. I can't run the program on my desktop, to use it to learn Java."
"There should be more management automation."
"In the market, they are still not the best, however, they are working on it."
"It does require some training in order to be able to use it effectively."
"Managed services for Postgres are not available in Oracle Cloud."
"​Customer service could be improved.​"
"Several aspects and features require improvement. I believe an easier setup and faster onboarding is required because Session AI is already powerful, but the initial setup feels somewhat complex for new users."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Make sure you read the fine print."
"The costs involved are low when it comes to Oracle Cloud, especially when compared to AWS."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"The solution is overpriced."
"We pay the subscription cost."
"In Oracle Cloud Platform, one needs to make payments towards the subscription charges."
"The price of the solution should be reduced to a price that people can afford."
"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."
