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.

Improves efficiencies, has encryption, and great mission-critical customer support
Previously we had an amateur solution where we were managing on our own data center but we had the management in-house. It was a strategic move to give people who were more competent and with business focus other core initiatives. It was a strategic outsource model. The equipment we were using was out date and at the end of its life cycle, we had to make some transitions, do a hardware replacement, or move on. We moved on to this solution.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Just having the many options and features offered by the product through the cloud is a major benefit."
"I haven't experienced any instability or downtime in Oracle Cloud over the past three years. It is scalable The support team was good. The initial setup is straightforward to configure. I rate the solution a nine out of ten with ten being the highest."
"Our recommendations are good, and we also have a bidding platform that is helpful for managed service providers. This platform can save customers up to 2-3 weeks in billing time, from 25 days to 3-4 days. We have two products: a basic product and a cloud optimization product. Both products help customers improve the performance and cost-efficiency of their cloud environments."
"The initial setup of Oracle Cloud is simple...It is a scalable solution."
"Most of the features that I have used in the product are good and I am happy with it."
"The most valuable features of the Oracle Cloud Platform are good visualization and analytics, and the solution is very well integrated with predictive analytics and forecasting, with features that go beyond the traditional reports and visualization."
"It has improved my company by cutting my time to market."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is a cloud-based solution."
"The solution has encryption which we did not have before."
"Once we made the move to this solution, we received efficiencies, 100%, 200%, even up to 1000%, depending on some processes."
 

Cons

"The integration tools that they offer are quite complex to use."
"I work with many clouds and I would say, in comparison, others have a better presentation of services and they have clearer steps in terms of implementation."
"The functionalities could be simplified as it is a bit difficult to learn."
"Nowadays, every SR is referred to Oracle Cloud Connect without a person actually handling the customer."
"Since our Oracle products are on premise we cannot get the premier Oracle products."
"However, currently, some of its products are not as feature user-friendly as those of AWS."
"There have been long waitings for Oracle Support to solve some problems, but these problems were not related directly with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI)."
"This service is very specific to Oracle and we cannot have other types of workloads on Oracle Cloud."
"Our account representative was inexperienced, they could improve on how they are managing accounts."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a subscription cost rather than licensing for this product."
"Oracle offers universal credit and pay-as-you-go options."
"My ROI has increased."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"The solution is expensive. I would rate the pricing as ten out of ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."

"The subscription is a pay-as-you-go model, with fees that are dependent on usage."
"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."
"The solution is a bit expensive, we are still negotiating the price."
