We are partners with Oracle so we are always speaking with them.""The most valuable feature is the monitoring.""The scalability feature of the product is very impressive, especially considering the fact that the tool offers its users a pay-as-you-go model.""We use the solution for EC2. It helps me to create around six servers for free to test out things. It also provides me with an authenticated cloud nameserver. We also use it as a wireguard endpoint."

Cons
"Oracle Cloud is not a user-friendly tool. From an improvement perspective, I want Oracle Cloud to be more user-friendly.""​Customer service could be improved.​""One improvement that would be helpful is the addition of a replication option on their Standard Edition OD service. Currently, this option is not available, which leads many customers to move to the Enterprise edition. However, other cloud service providers, such as Amazon AWS offer replication options at a similar tier. It would be beneficial if Oracle also explored providing this option for their Standard Edition service.""The product roadmap strategy for some of the products is not clear.""The solution's scalability is an area with shortcomings...Mid-level customers feel that Oracle is not scalable in their environment and is an enterprise-level segment solution.""I would recommend this solution to other people.""Technical support does not offer the best service and should be improved.""The configuration through the cloud is complicated. It's not straightforward."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Cons →

"The service mesh integrations could improve the solution.""The installation and configuration procedure should be simplified.""Making it even more cost-effective could be explored.""Technical support could be a bit better.""There is room for improvement in cluster-based queue monitoring and autoscaling.""The general purpose solution tries to cater to too many customers so it is heavy.""The effectiveness is satisfactory, and there haven't been any additional fees due to meeting demands. However, there's room for improvement in pricing, performance, and stability. Regarding the UI, it could be more user-friendly and integrated with various platforms. Currently, the UI lacks user-friendliness, especially for developers unfamiliar with container technology. Expecting them to create YAML files for security purposes is unrealistic without proper guidance or experience. This aspect needs improvement."

  • "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."
