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.

Head of Digital Solutions at Wind Integrated Solutions

Offers low-code/no-code concept makes development much easier and faster and offers good community support as the development team actively answers questions on the community every day

There are very minor things, like the feature called "action chains," that could use a bit of enhancement. But the team is perfect; they're working on it. An action chain is a sequence of actions triggered by a button or an event. It executes code in order, from top to bottom. For example, it could call a code, call a REST service, and then insert data into a database. It needs enhancement because it can be a bit complex for fresh grads or new developers to understand. It would be better if it was made more readable. That's the main point. But if you have experience, you'll understand it easily. One more thing I want to add about Visual Builder: up until two years ago, it supported native mobile development. That's not available anymore. They replaced native mobile development with progressive web apps, and most customers are complaining about that. We need native mobile development back – the ability to put apps on stores like Google Play or the App Store. That feature is not available right now, and they deprecated it starting in 2024. It's very important. Otherwise, clients go with Flutter or other mobile development tools. It would be good for Oracle to regain that capability. We need the native mobile development feature back.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"In terms of features, upgradeability to the latest version of Oracle suites has been a good feature. All we have to do is just patching or an upgrade, it's pretty easy. Then, it gets regularly updated. That's what I like about it."

"I have found Oracle Cloud to be a scalable solution."

"The initial setup was straightforward."

"Initial setup of databases is not a problem."

"The solution offers many features and it is a complete replica of our data center."

"OCI's best features are its price, databases, and Linux compatibility."

"The technical support is good, they have been responsive and helpful."

"The solution is stable."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) pros

"VBS is another tool that allows users to create enterprise applications without needing to store their projects in traditional databases like SQL."

"The tool is very easy to use."

"The initial setup is easy."

"You don't need a dedicated IDE to develop. You can work from any browser, which is very convenient. And, with the cloud concept, your code is stored in the cloud, so you can modify it from anywhere, at any time."

"The action chains are really helpful, and the trigger event, along with those action chains, has been very helpful."

"The most valuable feature was the visual drag and drop on the components."

Cons

"The scalability requires some improvement. This is one of the most important things they need to get better at."

"Since our Oracle products are on premise we cannot get the premier Oracle products."

"There's one app I have to install on my device, the Articulate Player app. It's only available on Apple and Android, but it's not available for Windows. I can't run the program on my desktop, to use it to learn Java."

"The solution could always be less expensive."

"With Oracle you have to create your own roles and it is more complex."

"Nowadays, every SR is referred to Oracle Cloud Connect without a person actually handling the customer."

"Oracle Cloud could be improved with better third-party integrations."

"It does require some training in order to be able to use it effectively."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) cons

"The feature called "action chains" could use a bit of enhancement."

"There are some bugs in VBCS."

"I would improve the license structure as, for some companies, it may seem a little bit expensive, depending on what they're doing."

"There was an attempt to enable front-end development, it did what it intended to do, but the side effects were too bad."

"The initial setup of Oracle VBCS can be challenging for those unfamiliar with DBS."

"The tool has minor bugs."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"The product offers a subscription-based licensing model."

"OCI is the cost-effectiveness compared to other similar services, assuming all compliance regulations are met. Additionally, they offer a number of things free of charge, which is particularly beneficial for smaller clients."

"Oracle Cloud Platform's pricing is comparable to other solutions, but it is definitely not cheap."

"The solution is cheaper compared to Oracle E-Business Suite."

"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."

"The price of the solution should be reduced to a price that people can afford."

"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."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) pricing and cost advice

"It's not expensive when you consider what it provides: low-code/no-code development, faster development time, good quality, and good stability."

"Oracle Visual Builder Cloud Service is much too expensive."
