    A stable, powerful database but needs more high availability areas in Africa
    Pros and Cons
    • "They seem to be more readily integrating with Azure, which is great."
    • "The initial setup can be a bit complex."

    What is our primary use case?

    I'm mainly focused on autonomous databases.

    What is most valuable?

    Oracle is a more powerful database than Azure or AWS. 

    Recently, they have been offering free certificates, which is a good way to distribute their solutions and to showcase their cloud services.

    They seem to be more readily integrating with Azure, which is great.

    So far, I have found the solution to be stable. 

    What needs improvement?

    In the market, they are still not the best, however, they are working on it. They want to be more popular than AWS or Azure, which dominate right now.  

    The initial setup can be a bit complex.

    They need to build up their DevOps. 

    They need to increase their high availability regions. They need more data centers in Africa. It risks services when high availability isn't available.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I've only really used the solution for four months. I've just begun to focus on it in the last three weeks. 

    Buyer's Guide
    Oracle Cloud Platform
    March 2023
    Learn what your peers think about Oracle Cloud Platform. Get advice and tips from experienced pros sharing their opinions. Updated: March 2023.
    690,226 professionals have used our research since 2012.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    The stability is good. They have very good SLAs.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    While the scalability is good, only two or three have high availability domains. This is something they need to work on. 

    We have 15 users who are using Oracle in our organization. 

    Recently, we started work on a project with HPC, high-performance computing. We'll be using this on the cloud. However, we may use AWS for this as they are a bit more powerful still. 

    How are customer service and support?

    In terms of support, sometimes we open some cases if we find any issue, however, everything is stable and working well. We are satisfied with their level of service. 

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

    We previously worked with Excel databases. 

    I'm also familiar with AWS and Azure. 

    AWS was based on high-performance computing and their infrastructure is more powerful than Oracle infrastructure.

    How was the initial setup?

    The initial setup can get complex. The network aspects are still a little bit complex, however, their cloud services are pretty straightforward. 

    The deployment times vary. It depends on the type of system we are deploying. It takes two to three days to deploy typically.

    We have two or three people that can handle any maintenance tasks. 

    What was our ROI?

    While we haven't seen an ROI yet, that I know of, we likely will see some sort of ROI in the future. 

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

    They have an OpEx model that is pay-as-you-go.

    We have a yearly contract subscription. 

    What other advice do I have?

    I'm just a customer and an end-user.

    We are using the most recent version of the solution. 

    If anyone is curious to learn more about Oracle, they have opened all of their courses on Oracle University for free. Those interested in adopting the solution should take advantage, and learn as much as they can about Oracle before they go ahead and deploy any services.

    I'd rate the solution at a seven out of ten.

    Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

    Hybrid Cloud

    Seamless deployment, good documentation, but support for integrating with non-Oracle solutions is unclear
    Pros and Cons
    • "Oracle does well when it comes to data privacy and security, which are critical."
    • "Specific to the Oracle Cloud; while they have been able to showcase inbuilt features for Oracle applications, what doesn't really come across clearly is what happens when you want to host, work with, or integrate with applications outside of the Oracle stack."

    What is our primary use case?

    We have been using it for HR use cases, typically in two spaces. One is analytics, and the other involves the Oracle digital assistant that is hosted on the Oracle Cloud. It involves a set of conversational layers for HR use cases. Typically, the use cases are for payroll, employee absence, and performance.

    What is most valuable?

    The Oracle Cloud integrates well with other applications from the Oracle stack. 

    There is a lot of documentation available.

    Oracle does well when it comes to data privacy and security, which are critical.

    What needs improvement?

    Specific to the Oracle Cloud; while they have been able to showcase inbuilt features for Oracle applications, what doesn't really come across clearly is what happens when you want to host, work with, or integrate with applications outside of the Oracle stack.

    They do an okay job of releasing use cases within the stack, but I would like to see more features released outside of the stack.

    The roadmap from Oracle is quite unclear.

    Technical support from Oracle needs to be improved.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    We have been using the Oracle Cloud Platform for approximately 12 months.

    We have been using this product but not very much to this point. It's pretty much nascent but we've now started ramping it up.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    Since our deployment, it has been fairly stable.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    This is absolutely scalable, as long as they can provide integrations to external stacks. We have fewer than 2,000 users with varied roles in the organization.

    How are customer service and support?

    Not necessarily as an Oracle Cloud user, but as a general Oracle user, the technical support definitely has room for improvement.

    Our experience has been that the response time is poor, escalations are the norm, and things are tossed around without a direct response. I'm not sure where the issue is but that's the general experience.

    How was the initial setup?

    The initial setup is pretty straightforward. Deploying it was seamless and it has been a good experience. End to end, it took us approximately three weeks to deploy.

    What about the implementation team?

    Our implementation was a combined effort. We used an integrator as well as a consultant. The consultant knew more about the product.

    What other advice do I have?

    The biggest lesson that I have learned from working with Oracle Cloud is that using other applications from the Oracle stack works well. It's a linear job to finish. However, if you are trying to integrate with Salesforce, for example, there are quite a few unknowns for which you don't really have any reference. You're primarily running it by trial and error rather than knowing what that involves. There is a lot of documentation and information available when dealing with the Oracle stack, but the rest of it seems to be a little hazy.

    From the limited experience that we have with this product, I would rate it a seven out of ten.

    Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

    Public Cloud

    If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?

    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."
    • "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."

    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.

    Provides the flexibility to spin up instances and alter the capacity as needed, and does what it's advertised to do
    Pros and Cons
    • "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."
    • "There should be more management automation."

    What is our primary use case?

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

    What is most valuable?

    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.

    What needs improvement?

    There should be more management automation.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have been using this solution for four years.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

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

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    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.

    How are customer service and support?

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

    How would you rate customer service and support?

    Positive

    How was the initial setup?

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

    What about the implementation team?

    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.

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

    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.

    Which other solutions did I evaluate?

    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.

    What other advice do I have?

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

    Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

    Public Cloud

    If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?

    Great price value and responsive support
    Pros and Cons
    • "The technical support is good, they have been responsive and helpful."
    • "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."

    What is our primary use case?

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

    What needs improvement?

    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.

    For how long have I used the solution?

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

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    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.

    How are customer service and support?

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

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

    I have used Amazon AWS and Microsoft Azure.

    How was the initial setup?

    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.

    What about the implementation team?

    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.

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

    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.

    What other advice do I have?

    I rate Oracle Cloud Platform an eight out of ten.

    Easy to use and has a very valuable roadmap feature
    Pros and Cons
    • "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."

    What is our primary use case?

    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. 

    What is most valuable?

    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.

    What needs improvement?

    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.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have been using Oracle Cloud Platform for 17 years.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    Oracle Cloud Platform is stable.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

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

    How are customer service and support?

    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.

    How would you rate customer service and support?

    Neutral

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

    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.

    What other advice do I have?

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

    Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

    What needs improvement?

    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.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have been using the solution for four months.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    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.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    I give the scalability a nine out of ten.

    The solution is for medium size companies.

    How was the initial setup?

    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.

    What about the implementation team?

    The implementation is completed in-house.

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

    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.

    What other advice do I have?

    I give the solution an eight out of ten.

    Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

    Public Cloud

    If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?
