Pros
"The object storage and managed backup solution are valuable.""The most valuable feature of this solution is the Interface.""The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is a cloud-based solution.""The pricing isn't too bad.""The simple infrastructure of the service is very useful.""Just having the many options and features offered by the product through the cloud is a major benefit.""The most valuable part of the Oracle Cloud Platform is the ability to develop applications that help us migrate information from on-prem to the cloud.""Oracle is valuable for improving performance and addressing issues between the nodes of clusters for private IPs.

"The solution has encryption which we did not have before."

More Virtustream xStream Pros →

Cons
"The monitoring tool and the migration from on-premise to the cloud should be much easier.""The biggest challenge I'm having with the cloud offering is the sizing. So, pricing becomes difficult. The sizing challenge is in terms of being very clear on how your data growth or your requirements would be. It becomes a bit difficult to be able to ensure that there's enough future proofing in what you've signed. At the same time, the whole idea behind the cloud is to be able to pay for what you use. You don't want to pay for something that you're not using.""The product could use some more development and maturity so it has more peripheral functionality already integrated.""The solution is expensive. So we try to use MySQL on AWS to push the data. The tool’s support could be improved.""Oracle Cloud could be improved with better third-party integrations.""In general, the systems application needs improvement.""The product's resilience is an area of concern where improvements are required.""I would like more technical expertise."

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."
