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

"I have found Oracle Cloud to be a scalable solution."
"The flexibility is most valuable, because by having our infrastructure in the cloud we are able to spin up instances as needed and alter the capacity as needed, and everything is working as we expect it."
"Clients are able to reduce their costs by using Oracle Cloud."
"Oracle Cloud is definitely a product that I recommend, especially for existing Oracle customers."
"I love that all the things I need are in one place."
"Apart from the licensing, there's support from Oracle Cloud Platform which improved our day to day operations, time is reduced, and based on this service we are able to scale up dependent applications as quickly as we can."
"I find the interface to be great."
"We find the ease of use and the cost associated with the solution valuable."
"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

"Oracle Cloud could improve AI. The design elements could be done better."
"Oracle Cloud is still young compared to AWS or Microsoft. They still need to develop in many areas."
"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."
"It is not scalable."
"The AI capabilities and the power automate platform that Azure is offering seem to be way ahead of what Oracle is offering."
"The solution needs to improve the creation process for server fonts and the usability and scripting methodology."
"The product's technical support is an area with shortcomings that need improvement."
"The solution isn't very mature. The on-premises deployment has more features and the cloud needs to work to match those options."
"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

"We pay the subscription cost."
"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."
"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."
"It's very expensive compared to AWS."
"Make sure you read the fine print."
"Improvements can be made with respect to flexibility in the licensing model."
"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."
"Oracle offers universal credit and pay-as-you-go options."
