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.

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

"Oracle offers more of the basic functionality needs."
"I find the Single Sign-On, SSO, feature to be valuable."
"I head the sales and marketing team. So, specifically on the feature set side, multi-tenancy is the one that I'm most familiar with. It's also the one that we found to be the most beneficial to us because it allows us to take clients that have multiple sites. For instance, one of our larger clients, which is a bank based out of South Africa, has offices in multiple countries. It allows us to multi-tenant each and create a tenant for each country within multi-tenanted architecture."
"The most valuable features of Oracle Cloud are the ease of navigation and stability. The solution is more feature-rich and powerful than these smaller alternatives."
"The most valuable feature is that it offers several adaptors."
"I find the interface to be great."
"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."
"Overall, I would rate Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) as nine out of 10."
"We have observed approximately a 15% to 25% improvement in conversion rates after implementing Session AI."
"Session AI has definitely impacted my organization as well as my personal workflow very positively."
 

Cons

"However, currently, some of its products are not as feature user-friendly as those of AWS."
"The product’s pricing should be reduced."
"The solution's scalability is an area with shortcomings...Mid-level customers feel that Oracle is not scalable in their environment and is an enterprise-level segment solution."
"The solution is expensive"
"The configuration through the cloud is complicated. It's not straightforward."
"With the Oracle Cloud Platform, they have to give first some proper documentation with a step-by-step process; nowadays, the Oracle Cloud Platform requires lots of floor work."
"In general, the systems application needs improvement."
"The integration tools that they offer are quite complex to use."
"While my experience with Session AI has been largely positive, there are a few areas where the platform could improve further."
"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

"There is an annual and a subscription option."
"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."
"Improvements can be made with respect to flexibility in the licensing model."
"The price is middling; it's not the most expensive product, but there is still some room for it to be more flexible."
"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."
"The solution is free to use."
"In Oracle Cloud Platform, one needs to make payments towards the subscription charges."
"OCI's pricing is one of its best features."
