Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Reviews

I'm primarily using it for approving purchases and dealing with purchase invoices and Oracle HCM, an HR-related product for evaluations of myself and my employees.

We like the accessibility. It's a cloud, so it is easy to access anywhere. 

We're always on the latest version as it updates automatically. However, there are some checks or controls by respective companies. If they don't want to go on the updated version immediately, they don't need to.

The product is easy to maintain. 

I love that all the things I need are in one place. 

It is stable and reliable. 

Since it is on the cloud, you often have to deal with network issues.

Speed can be an issue as well. 

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

I've been using the solution for four years. It's been a while. 

The product is quite stable. It's reliable. The only issue is if you have network issues, you'll have trouble accessing the cloud.

We contact our support, and if they cannot figure out the issue, they will go to Oracle. I don't deal with Oracle directly. 

This solution requires licensing. 

We're a customer and end-user.

I'm not sure which version of the solution we're using.  It's on the cloud; therefore, the latest version is always used.

The solution can be a bit difficult, and new users need to be prepared for that. They need to connect with Oracle and learn more about it in order to understand it better. Then, it gets easier to use. 

I'd rate the solution seven out of ten. 

We use the solution in insurance and financial institutions like banks.

The solution is better than its previous on-premise version. The on-premise version was not flexible enough for end-user reporting requirements. The product enables users to create their own reports. It is really helpful.

The product is not stable enough for our SCM client’s requirements. The clients' requirements are not feasible for the out-of-the-box solution. The product features related to the manufacturing domain must be improved.

I have been using the solution for five to six years.

The tool is not stable. We ended up doing additional tasks to fulfill the client’s requirements. It is not that flexible.

The solution is scalable. Our customers are mainly enterprise-level businesses.

The technical support is very good. It has improved over the last few years. Now, we get better responses from the engineers.

Positive

The installation is very easy. The time taken for deployment depends on the volume of the configuration. Generally, it can be done within one or two days. We have one SME and another person to support the SME in configuring the product. It is very easy to maintain the tool.

The product’s pricing is reasonable compared to other tools in the market. We pay a yearly subscription. Our clients mainly pay the initial license cost and the yearly subscription fee.

If someone wants to implement the product for a new client, they must understand the features and functionalities available out of the box. I would rate the tool a ten out of ten for the finance modules, but I would rate it a seven for manufacturing. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

I like the consistency that the solution offers to its uses. I also like how secure and powerful the solution is since I haven't had to deal with any issues from my company's customers. In general, my company's customers who use Oracle Cloud Platform are happy. I found the implementation process of the solution to be good.

The research and development team working at Oracle and Microsoft are doing their best to improve the product.

The pricing model of Oracle Cloud Platform is an area of concern. Oracle Cloud Platform should be made available at a cheap price.

I have been working as a senior account manager selling Oracle Cloud Platform since Oracle offers more than 90 products.

It is a stable solution.

Since it is a cloud solution, I can say it is a scalable product.

The solution's technical support has been perfect for me.

I rate my experience with Microsoft a nine out of ten. SAP also offers powerful tools but does not match the same level as Microsoft or Oracle.

I wasn't involved in the deployment process of Oracle Cloud Platform since my job was to only sell it.

The solution is deployed on the cloud.

In Oracle Cloud Platform, one needs to make payments towards the subscription charges.

I recommend Oracle Cloud Platform to those who plan to use it. I also recommend Microsoft products to others. Products from Oracle and Microsoft are very powerful.

I rate the overall product a five or six out of ten for Egypt. From a global perspective, I rate the overall product a nine out of ten.

The solution is easy to use. The user experience is very well set up. The product is easy to understand and navigate.

The deployment from on-premises to the cloud is a bit complicated.

I have been using the solution for two years.

I rate the stability a nine out of ten.

The scalability is unlimited. I rate the scalability a ten out of ten. About ten people in the organization use the product.

I rate the ease of initial setup a seven out of ten. As we go deeper into the solution, it becomes a little difficult, and we would need to refer to the documentation quite a bit. So, in the beginning, it's easy, but as we go deeper, it gets difficult.

The deployment takes about ten minutes. We need to give email and code details to have an account.

I rate the solution’s pricing an eight out of ten.

I am using the latest version of the product. The product is one of the biggest cloud supporters. If someone works with Oracle, it is definitely worth learning it. It is growing faster than other cloud supplies like Azure and AWS. Overall, I rate the product an eight out of ten.

The solution works very well.

The solution's cost could be better. Also, it takes time to release resources compared to AWS. They should improve this particular area.

We have been using the solution for nine months.

The solution is stable.

Around 40% of our organization uses this solution. It has good scalability.

The solution's technical support services are more expensive than AWS. Also, they should expand the team to address day-to-day issues.

Neutral

The solution is expensive.

I rate the solution a five out of ten.

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. 

The tool should provide more options like other cloud services. Also, it should improve scalability with the free version. 

I have been working with the product for a year. 

The tool's stability is good. 

I would rate the solution's scalability a six out of ten since we have limitations to scale on the free version. I am the sole user of the tool. 

I have used the tool and I switched to Oracle Cloud since its free. 

The tool's deployment takes six months to complete. 

The solution is free to use. 

I would rate the product a seven out of ten since they don't provide much options. 

Our primary use case for Oracle Cloud is testing.

The feature I think should be improved is the option to rename the machines. Sometimes it happens that I can rename something like VCM and other options. When this happens, sometimes I can't remember the search and I don't like that.

I have been using Oracle Cloud solution for about two years.

I would rate the stability of this solution an eight, on a scale from one to 10, with one being the worst and 10 being the best.

I would rate the scalability of this solution a nine, on a scale from one to 10, with one being the worst and 10 being the best.

My impression is that the initial setup was easy. This solution is usable within a few clicks.

I would recommend this solution to other people.

I would rate this solution as a whole an eight, on a scale from one to 10, with one being the worst and 10 being the best.

We use the solution to build and run applications.

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.

I would like the Oracle Cloud Platform to have a more user-friendly UI similar to Microsoft Azure. I have used Azure, AWS, and Oracle, finding that the Azure UI is the best.

I have been using the solution for four months.

I give the stability a nine out of ten. We sometimes have connectivity issues but that is related to the internet connection with the on-prem hardware.

I give the scalability a nine out of ten.

The solution is for medium size companies.

The initial setup is straightforward as long as we have a working knowledge of Linux machines. The deployment time depends on the size of the project and the experience of the implementer. I am the lead architect for deployment.

The implementation strategy depends on a lot of factors including if it is going to be hot or cold, online or offline, and public or private.

The implementation is completed in-house.

The cost is based on multiple factors including which cloud service we are using, the size of data, performance, security, support contracts, and machine licensing.

Oracle has flexible licensing models. Oracle offers universal credit and pay-as-you-go options. We can also bring our own license.

I give the solution an eight out of ten.
