Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Reviews

We have a customer requirement for a private cloud environment, and we use our on-premises system as a tool for order planning. 

We have also established a connection by configuring their network based on the requirements they provided.

I like that with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure you can customize everything according to your preferences. You can choose your hardware, perform various tasks, and design your infrastructure per your requirements. It allows you to fulfill all your needs.

In the region where I work, there's a perception that it's too expensive. I believe pricing is a crucial area that needs assessment. They should consider improving the pricing strategy to make it more appealing and effective, especially to attract new customers and buyers in this region.

I've been using this solution for the past two and a half years.

I've reached out to customer support many times. They provide coding support and other solutions. If, for some reason, the answer isn't readily available, they're willing to conduct a Zoom session to work through the issue and provide an effective solution.

You simply need to sign up, and the process is straightforward. Just click on the service button, and then proceed to create a user account. We've implemented the tool on Oracle Cloud and currently have four to five users using the solution.

The solution is expensive.

I highly recommend using Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. If you have a good understanding of the product, know how to install it, and know how to get it installed, then it's in your hands to save money. 

With the product, you have complete control over the management of your system. You can devise your own policies and create services tailored to your specific requirements. Overall, I rate the product an eight out of ten.

Oracle Cloud Platform is user-friendly. It is used for our infrastructure and other services. A form or a database can be created where codes are uploaded. Due to the recent developments, you can also easily upload all the solutions on the cloud, without any plug-ins or forms. The conditions are already defaulted and you will just require it to configure. The platform is new, with a lot of features. However, it isn't as comfortable as AWS and others. Now they are receiving a lot of patches and upgrades which are customized according to the requirements, according to the gaps, including the reconnection filter. 

The features allow you to connect the service solutions with the client's requirements. It is user-friendly, easy to navigate and provides assistance.

The customization and the requests put through were not flexible enough. The requests needed to be written and then dispatched to Oracle. The solutions were uncertain, some were resolved early, whereas some of them took time to be dispatched. Oracle needs to address the issues according to the country.

I have been working with Oracle Cloud Platform for three and a half years.

It's stable, but more stability is required because of changes in nature. Updates happen and there are bugs reported. They need to fix those bugs which hamper stability sometimes. In many cases, customization is required across all the systems and companies, which again disrupts the work. Similarly, issues are reported when they are moving to production. Otherwise, it works fine. I rate the stability a four out of five.

It is easy to scale and that is the reason we can use Oracle Cloud Platform in our enterprise.

The requested logging takes time because when an issue comes up, the database isn’t updated with the newest solutions, and takes weeks to resolve the issues. They need to work on customer support.

Neutral

I previously used SAP. SAP is more of a technical code which made it hard for me to cope with. In comparison, Oracle is more user-friendly and offers consultation.

The initial setup is straightforward. The deployment and the time depend on the project. It's based on the technology that is available for its upload, volume, the nature of the product, and the volume of work we are going to configure. Depending on these, it can be done in minutes or in hours.

Depending on the issue, the maintenance and the requirement of support are also uncertain. Regular maintenance is usually done by the employees. In case of a bigger update, then the requirements change and engineers are required.

It is cheaper as a solution model. It isn’t cheaper than SAP but offers more features and competition.

This solution is much more user-friendly and easy to navigate. It doesn’t require much training, from the end user, or manager's perspective. They can communicate with a lot of other platforms internally and it's beneficial. Overall, it is a nice package and I will rate it seven out of ten. 

There is room for improvement for stability. 

I have been using the product since 2018. 

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

I would rate Oracle Cloud's scalability a ten out of ten. 

Oracle Cloud's setup is easy. 

There is ROI with the product's use. 

Oracle Cloud's pricing is competitive. The tool changes its pricing when there is a change in its architecture. 

I would rate the product a nine out of ten. 

Our primary use case for the solution is for data. We wanted to move to cloud and get virtualized servers for a specific entity or power for cloud applications.

The object storage and managed backup solution are valuable. Additionally, we like that the charge is per user.

The solution has one of the best cloud infrastructures in the world. However, the price can be improved as it is a bit expensive compared to other cloud solutions. In addition, the functionalities could be simplified as it is a bit difficult to learn.

We have been using the solution for a year and are currently using the latest version.

The solution is very stable.

The solution is very scalable, and the scalability goes hand in hand with pricing.

The initial setup was complex and took two weeks to fully implement.

The solution is expensive and extra costs are incurred if you need assistance with the installation. I rate the price a four out of ten.

I rate the solution a nine out of ten. The solution is good, but the price and simplicity can be improved. I recommend the solution to users considering implementing it if they can afford it.

We use Oracle Cloud Platform to move business applications, such as Oracle ERPs and Oracle Analytics, from on-premise infrastructure to the Oracle Cloud.

The portfolio should improve for the Oracle Cloud Platform. Oracle has to increase the services offered. New services should be added to be able to compete better with Amazon AWS which is the best, and the biggest service. Oracle Cloud Platform has a small portfolio, but it's a good one.

I have used the Oracle Cloud Platform for approximately four years.

We had our first major incident this week with the Oracle Cloud Platform. We have not had any other problem in the four years we have been using it. The stability and the availability that we found in Oracle Cloud Platform is really good, at least similar to what you can find in Amazon AWS or Microsoft Azure.

The technical support is good, they have been responsive and helpful.

I have used Amazon AWS and Microsoft Azure.

When migrating applications to the Oracle Cloud Platform it can take between two and four weeks depending on the project. During these four weeks, we do not only do the deployment, but it also involves a two-day infrastructure deployment, we move all the applications and run all the user testing scenarios. The full project with all the project traces normally lasts approximately four weeks but the infrastructure deployment takes a few days.

Oracle Cloud Platform architecture needs a system engineer for deployment and maintenance. Typically, the same team that is working on the on-premise architecture, with a little training can easily deploy it on the cloud.

The business applications will need someone with more specific skills.

Overall each project requires a different amount of supporting individuals.

The best aspect of the Oracle Cloud Platform is the relation between the performance and the price. When you compare the price with Amazon AWS, Microsft Azure, or any other, the price for performance is the best.

There are plenty of license options. For example, you can license the solution by the user, CPU, fixed period, and on-demand. The options are similar to Amazon AWS.

I rate Oracle Cloud Platform an eight out of ten.

What I find the most valuable is the fact that there is zero down time for automatic offer. That is very good design for this environment. Overall, I would say that Oracle Cloud provides support with zero down time and the high probability is very good.

Oracle Cloud's price is very high. Overall, Oracle Cloud is doing everything I need it to. I have not had any issues with the application, deployment, and implementation. It is very suitable for us, especially considering our needs. Other than the price, I do not see where any further changes could be made. 

I have been using this product for the last three years.

Oracle Cloud is stable. 

We have not had any issues with scalability.

I am satisfied with the technical support.

The initial setup was easy. 

We use Oracle Database, and it only runs on Oracle Cloud Platform. No other cloud vendors support it.  

I've been working with Oracle Cloud Platform for six months.

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is about as stable as the other CSPs, but Oracle Cloud is more common in Korea. 

Oracle Cloud installation is about the same as any other CSP—very straightforward.

I rate Oracle Cloud seven out of 10.  I say seven because I don't have much experience with Oracle Cloud.

We are a software-based company. We develop custom applications for our customers. We are currently customers of Oracle but working on forming a partnership with Oracle Cloud Singapore. I'm a cloud engineer.

Oracle Cloud offers more of the basic functionality needs than other cloud providers offer.

It would be an improvement if Oracle were to offer more PaaS services like those available in Azure. The technical support could also be improved. 

Although the response time is generally quite good, there are still areas for improvement. 

I think the initial setup is relatively straightforward, in line with the other cloud solutions. 

I think Oracle's license costs are relatively lower than those of Azure or AWS. I think the cost is reasonable. 

I have had more experience with Azure Cloud so I prefer it because of the familiarity aspect.  Once I get used to Oracle, I might prefer that solution. 

I rate the solution seven out of 10.
