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.
RH
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

"The most valuable features of the solution are APEX, Threat Detector, and Cloud Guard."
"The product is easy to use and deploy."
"There is ROI with the product's use."
"Oracle offers more of the basic functionality needs."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring."
"What I like best about Oracle Cloud is that it is an all-in-one system for everything."
"Oracle Cloud Platform is a good solution because with large data platforms the data migration can be a challenge and this is the reason to move and migrate towards the cloud from on-premises."
"They seem to be more readily integrating with Azure, which is great."
"The solution has encryption which we did not have before."
 

Cons

"Lacking in additional PaaS services."
"The deployment from on-premises to the cloud is a bit complicated."
"The product roadmap strategy for some of the products is not clear."
"Technical support could be a bit better."
"Oracle Cloud could improve AI. The design elements could be done better."
"Oracle Cloud could be improved with better third-party integrations."
"The initial setup can be made easier and the technical support team should give faster responses. Oracle can introduce the VPN service that can be directly connected to the machine and perform work directly on the server. This feature can help users."
"The pricing is a bit expensive."
"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."
"Pricing needs to be improved."
"The solution is expensive. I would rate the pricing as ten out of ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"Make sure you read the fine print."
"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."
"Costing depends on if you have an existing license for the application and for the operating system."
"OCI's pricing is one of its best features."
"The solution is a bit expensive, we are still negotiating the price."
