Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Reviews

We use this solution to provide storage and management of infrastructure, as well as application hosting.

We appreciate the fact that this solution will operate with both native and third-party applications. This has meant that we don't need to change all of our systems to accommodate it within our network.

 We also find the licencing model of a single cost to be good value for money.

Some of the features of this solution, such as the digital assistant, require extensive configuration before they are suitable for use. We would like these to be made more straightforward and to require less manual input.

We have been working with this solution for over six years.

We have found the stability of this solution to be extremely good in terms of uptime, availability, performance, and consistency.

The scalability of this product is good, and is actioned automatically when there is a spike in usage.

The technical support for this product is very good. The team respond quickly, and know the product features quite thoroughly.

The initial setup for this solution is very easy and straightforward.

The licenses for this solution are very comprehensive and, therefore, very economical; there is only one cost, and it covers all available features without any chargeable add-ons.

We would recommend that organizations evaluate this solution with a neutral mindset, considering their business needs above any other factors. This way they will ensure that the product they choose has features they actually need.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

We migrated our in-house Oracle processing to the cloud. It's really just a database.

The flexibility is most valuable. By having our infrastructure in the cloud, we are able to spin up instances as needed and alter the capacity as needed. 

It works well, and everything is working as we expect it.

There should be more management automation.

I have been using this solution for four years.

It's very stable. There have been no outages in four years.

It's great. I can spin up as much as I'd like. We have thousands of in-house users who are working on in-house applications. 

It's being used very extensively, and we do not have great plans for increasing usage. It does what it does, and it works well, but there won't be much storage increase. We're not about to hire another 5,000 employees to use it.

It's as good as any vendor. I would rate them a four out of five.

Positive

It was pretty straightforward. The migration took about three months. Most of that time was used for testing.

We used some consultants. Our experience with them was great. They knew what they were doing. We didn't.

For deployment and maintenance purposes, I have a team of five DBAs.

It's less expensive to operate your environment in the cloud than in-house. It's a bundle cost. Everything is included in one price.

We were looking at Oracle and AWS a couple of years ago, but we moved to the Oracle Cloud because we couldn't get our in-house solution to work with AWS. We looked at migrating to a different relational database platform, but the costs were just going to be too high, and the support was not going to be there.

Cloud is the way to go. I would rate this solution a nine out of ten. It does what it's advertised to do.

We use the solution to assist with project planning, cost, and build collector applications. 

Oracle has strong data centers, however, we use the fast approach with Oracle which includes the technical resources, email, and data center. 

Oracle products are easy to use. The Oracle Construction and Engineering flow is a good tool for cost control.

A good feature of the solution is the clear roadmap it provides specifically from Oracle to PC, there are good options to use OTP.

Since our Oracle products are on-premise we cannot get the premier Oracle products. Oracle releases new versions annually, but because of our license, we are using the previous version. With the solution on-premise, we can't access some applications that require access to their consulting teams.

Oracle Cloud Platform can improve their function overlap.

I have been using Oracle Cloud Platform for 17 years.

Oracle Cloud Platform is stable.

The solution is scalable. Our organization operates in multiple locations, Oracle is good for this.

Our license includes technical resources with Oracle. They maintain our application. With the help of Oracle, we perform user confirmation and other functional computer data centers.

I have contacted Oracle support for a few different issues. Overall, I would give them a three out of five. Most times when we contact Oracle, we request the development team, and they take longer than expected to resolve the concerns.

Neutral

Oracle is a software accessory service that we have a user subscription for. For example, we require the project planning license, which is a user based license. 

Considering the license required, the country and the versions, we chose the prepaid option.

I would rate this solution a ten of ten and would strongly recommend Oracle Cloud Platform. 

I mainly use this solution for our business employee side and our cloud infrastructure.

The monitoring tool and the migration from on-premise to the cloud should be much easier.

I've been working with Oracle Cloud Platform for three years.

The stability is all right.

This solution is scalable.

The initial setup was easy. It takes just a few minutes to create a virtual machine.

The pricing is reasonable.

I would rate Oracle Cloud Platform as seven out of ten.

The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is a cloud-based solution.

The solution's reporting part is not good and needs more development. We get unpredictable errors when we use it. OIC needs to be developed because it is limited. For example, you can't make huge data migrations and data integrations with it.

It is hard to make a report because you can't use an SQL browser. All the other third-party products are not free, and you need to pay for them. Using Oracle's internal reporting solution for running SQL statements is a waste of time.

I have been using Oracle Cloud for two years.

I rate Oracle Cloud a two or three out of ten for stability.

Oracle Cloud is a scalable solution, but we have many performance problems. For example, when we faced an important performance problem, the solution’s scalability did not work until the problem was resolved. We waited for a month or two for the problem to be solved. Also, there are some problems with the service desk part of the Oracle Fusion.

Most of our clients for Oracle Cloud are medium-level and enterprise businesses.

I rate Oracle Cloud a six out of ten for scalability.

The solution's technical support team responds late.

Negative

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

On a scale from one to ten, where one is expensive and ten is cheap, I rate the solution's pricing a seven out of ten.

Oracle Cloud has good security features that benefit our clients' operations.

Overall, I rate the solution a five out of ten.

We mainly use the solution for Oracle databases and BI purposes.

The product’s pricing should be reduced.

I have been using this solution for over five years.

I haven't experienced any instability or downtime in Oracle Cloud over the past three years.

It is scalable and suitable for large companies looking to upgrade.

I contacted their customer support when I encountered issues with my VM due to incorrect configuration of certain parameters. The support team was good.

Positive

We have not used any other solution besides Oracle Cloud.

The initial setup is straightforward to configure.

The solution is overpriced. I rate the pricing a nine out of ten with ten being expensive.

Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten with ten being the highest.

We use the solution to migrate the legacy infrastructure to the Oracle cloud.

I am impressed with the tool's upscaling and resiliency features.

The solution needs to improve the discovery and assessment of the existing infrastructure.

I have been working with the product for two to three years.

I would rate the tool's stability a ten out of ten.

I would rate the tool's scalability a ten out of ten.

We have dedicated premium support and it's good.

Positive

I would rate the solution's setup a seven out of ten. The tool's deployment takes around four to five hours to complete. Initial discovery and assessment should be conducted for the existing infrastructure. Post that you can conduct the migration activities.

I would rate the solution an eight out of ten. The tool is a leader in cloud technology and it is very professional. It has pretty good skills and knowledge in terms of providing support during the actual migration.

The product helps us to use it as a central ERP and HCM.

The solution needs improvement in support, performance, and features. 

I have been working with the solution for four years. 

The solution is scalable. 

I would rate the tool's proactive support an eight out of ten. 

Negative

yUThe tool's implementation was straightforward and took around three months to complete. 

I would rate the solution a seven out of ten.
