Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Make sure you read the fine print."
  • "My ROI has increased."
  • "It's not that expensive. I think it's maybe half or one-fourth of our actual on-prem cost, especially in Oracle Data Integrator. It's pretty cheap. Maybe around $30,000 or $40,000 per month."
  • "Costing depends on if you have an existing license for the application and for the operating system."
  • "The cost may be a bit high for many potential users."
  • "The pricing is a little bit expensive compared to other products."
  • "Improvements can be made with respect to flexibility in the licensing model."
  • "There is a subscription cost rather than licensing for this product."

  • "This solutuion can be expensive for small and medium-sized companies."
  • "The pricing can be more competitive."
  • "The licensing is expensive compared with Hyper V and Unitech's platform."
  • "If our customer has the option to buy a server for $4,000 or $5,000, but VMware asks for two-person licensing $7,000 to $8,000, which is more than the hardware price. So sometimes, the customer cannot pay for it because it's too expensive."
  • "There is an annual license required to use the solution."
  • "VMware Cloud Foundation is overpriced, but I think we get what we pay for."
  • "The price of VMware Cloud Foundation is a bit high. However, it comes with a lot of useful features and can handle a lot of operational complexity. Overall the price can be seen as being fair for what it offers."
  • "The pricing of VMware Cloud Foundation could improve, it is expensive."

    Overview

    Cloud services where you need them

    Your need for sovereignty, compliance, and location-specific performance should not limit your access to the latest cloud innovations. OCI gives you access to a full portfolio of cloud services wherever you need them. With a wide range of cloud options, including on-premises, dedicated Cloud@Customer, hybrid, multicloud solutions such as Oracle Database Service for Microsoft Azure, or public cloud, OCI’s distributed cloud portfolio—available across regions worldwide—solves your toughest business challenges.

    Optimize enterprise applications without costly rearchitecture

    When modernizing your enterprise apps, abandoning core technology isn’t feasible or necessary for success. OCI is built to address the unique requirements of performance-sensitive on-premises applications and other traditional enterprise apps—scale-up architectures, ultralow-latency networks, built-in security, and clustering of resources for availability in the cloud without risky and costly application refactoring. Additionally, OCI's specialized migration tools and programs facilitate easy transitioning.

    Build and run cloud native or third-party apps with open source tools

    Modern enterprises deserve the flexibility and freedom to choose from the various frameworks, clouds, and services available. Be it Postgres, SQL Server, Windows Server, VMware, or Kubernetes, OCI services are designed to easily run third-party, open source applications or to build cloud native applications. Our broad open source partner ecosystem enables you to bring apps to market faster, easily innovate, and scale.

    Harness your data to uncover new business value

    Data drives your business. Whether you’re building next-gen social applications or online games or seeking better outcomes from decades of healthcare data, making data work is getting harder. OCI services such as Oracle MySQL Heatwave and Oracle Autonomous Database service support all your data models, remove data silos, converge data for efficiency, and analyze data—helping you unlock business potential without sacrificing security and governance controls.

    VMware Cloud Foundation makes it easy to deploy and run a hybrid cloud. VMware Cloud Foundation provides integrated cloud infrastructure (compute, storage, networking, and security) and cloud management services to run enterprise applications in both private and public environments.
