Beneficial visualization, well integrated, and intuitive UI
Pros and Cons
  • "The most valuable features of the Oracle Cloud Platform are good visualization and analytics. The solution is very well integrated with predictive analytics and forecasting. These features go beyond the traditional reports and visualization."
  • "The most valuable features of the Oracle Cloud Platform are good visualization and analytics, and the solution is very well integrated with predictive analytics and forecasting, with features that go beyond the traditional reports and visualization."
  • "Oracle Cloud Platform can improve the integration with hybrid and cross-cloud deployments. It should be a flexible solution with a very well-defined integration with other applications in the hybrid environment. There are certain integrations that are not straightforward."
  • "Oracle Cloud Platform can improve the integration with hybrid and cross-cloud deployments. It should be a flexible solution with a very well-defined integration with other applications in the hybrid environment."

What is our primary use case?

We use Oracle Cloud Platforms predominantly for ERP and some analytics. However, we also address beyond ERP where we integrate data from on-premise sources, such as custom applications or other PaaS solutions. We integrate the data, load it into the cloud autonomous from the data warehouse, then build analytics on top of it.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable features of the Oracle Cloud Platform are good visualization and analytics. The solution is very well integrated with predictive analytics and forecasting. These features go beyond the traditional reports and visualization.

The documentation quality is excellent and the UI is intuitive.

What needs improvement?

Oracle Cloud Platform can improve the integration with hybrid and cross-cloud deployments. It should be a flexible solution with a very well-defined integration with other applications in the hybrid environment. There are certain integrations that are not straightforward. 

The visualization could improve by providing what the other vendors have. However, in terms of customer requirements, whatever visualization Oracle Cloud Platform has will suffice.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using the Oracle Cloud Platform for approximately seven years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Oracle Cloud Platform is quite stable because it's not a brand new solution, and it's built on top of the traditional product of OBIE and ODIE. In this way it is stable. There will be a certain bug since it's a new cloud operation, but overall the solution is stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The scalability of the Oracle Cloud Platform is very good.

We have approximately 250 consultants using this solution in my organization.

How are customer service and support?

The technical support from Oracle is good.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I have a vast experience of 23 years and I have used many solutions over the years. Oracle Cloud Platform may not be the best solution, but it's comparable to other solutions.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup of the Oracle Cloud Platform is very well documented. If you follow the processes in the documentation, there should not be any challenge. However, when you integrate with on-premise sources, you may face some challenges.

What about the implementation team?

The maintenance staff we need depends on the projects. However, you don't need many PaaS solutions, such as this. In the maintenance of the application, you may need consultants, but for core application maintenance, you don't need any because it is managed by Oracle.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Oracle Cloud Platform has a decent pricing model.

What other advice do I have?

Oracle Cloud Platform is a great solution. I would advise others to try it out, the features are quite comparable with all the competitors.

I rate Oracle Cloud Platform an eight out of ten.

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

What needs improvement?

Oracle Cloud could be improved with better third-party integrations. In addition, Oracle EBS has more reporting tools than other software, and more of these should be available in Oracle Cloud. There should also be more training, guidance, and support documentation available for users, as we need to pay additional costs for training at the moment.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using Oracle Cloud for three years.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Oracle Cloud is reasonably scalable - I'd rate it seven out of ten.
