A solution that hosts application databases and provide excellent support
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure stands out due to its exceptional performance and advanced technology. The progress and innovation demonstrated by Oracle are truly impressive and exceed my expectations. OCI's capabilities are remarkable, and it is challenging to identify any weaknesses. One noteworthy aspect is OCI's ability to integrate seamlessly with other cloud platforms, offering unparalleled flexibility. Unlike other clouds that limit service provision solely within their ecosystem, OCI allows customers to interact with various cloud environments, including in-house servers. This interoperability extends to significant competitors like Azure, providing users with unmatched connectivity options. In summary, OCI sets a high standard in the cloud industry, and I am grateful for its capabilities. While OCI provides a solid foundation with its existing analytics and data warehousing tools, businesses often have unique needs that require tailored solutions. While Oracle offers great tools for developers, data scientists, and AI enthusiasts, there's a need for further customization to unlock the platform's full potential. Compared to other vendors, Oracle stands out with its AI, analytics, and data management offerings. Still, additional expertise and customization can help businesses maximize their OCI investment and achieve their goals.

Easy to learn and use and provides simple drag-and-drop features
The synergy with other Oracle products is valuable. The tool is very easy to use. It is compatible with the other Oracle products. It works well when used with other Oracle solutions. The solution is quite useful. It is based on the Oracle JET packages. However, we can use other elements. It is a nice drag-and-drop feature. Sometimes, we have to go into the code. It's necessary in some situations. There are some additional components. We can import them. They are useful. It is easy for a beginner to learn to use the tool. The vendor provides documentation about the components. They have a learning path on their Oracle University page. The drag-and-drop feature is quite easy. We will not have the best extensions and applications, but it is easy for beginners.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I am impressed with the tool's upscaling and resiliency features."
"In terms of features, upgradeability to the latest version of Oracle suites has been a good feature. All we have to do is just patching or an upgrade, it's pretty easy. Then, it gets regularly updated. That's what I like about it."
"They seem to be more readily integrating with Azure, which is great."
"I find the Single Sign-On, SSO, feature to be valuable."
"The most valuable features of the solution are APEX, Threat Detector, and Cloud Guard."
"Frankly speaking, I've been very impressed with the stability the solution offers. Everything is working very well at the moment, and we haven't had any issues or faced any bugs or glitches."
"The solution offers many features and it is a complete replica of our data center."
"The autonomous database functions are an excellent feature."
"The most valuable feature was the visual drag and drop on the components."
"The tool is very easy to use."
"You don't need a dedicated IDE to develop. You can work from any browser, which is very convenient. And, with the cloud concept, your code is stored in the cloud, so you can modify it from anywhere, at any time."
"The initial setup is easy."
"VBS is another tool that allows users to create enterprise applications without needing to store their projects in traditional databases like SQL."
 

Cons

"The Oracle Cloud platform remains complex, and despite the abundance of resources available, significant challenges can still arise during the migration process from a legacy or on-premise system. Conversely, smaller companies with less complicated systems, such as those with a two million budget, can migrate more easily."
"The packaging part of the software needs improvement. It lacks customization abilities for users. Giving them VMs for machine learning or running their own programs like Azure and Amazon, for example. Things like scalability based on the requirement of the tools. Oracle still lacks these kinds of things. For example, if you need a VM from Oracle, you need to pay for a monthly fee. They started developing containership but it's still at the initial stage and it's still lacking. They also need to develop integration between packages."
"The solution does not follow a retention policy while taking ad hoc backups. Since it does not follow the retention policy, we had to do the manual task to check the backups."
"The monitoring tool and the migration from on-premise to the cloud should be much easier."
"Nowadays, every SR is referred to Oracle Cloud Connect without a person actually handling the customer."
"The product's technical support is an area with shortcomings that need improvement."
"The product could use some more development and maturity so it has more peripheral functionality already integrated."
"With the Oracle Cloud Platform, they have to give first some proper documentation with a step-by-step process. Then the customer is able to use it properly. Nowadays, the Oracle Cloud Platform requires lots of floor work."
"The initial setup of Oracle VBCS can be challenging for those unfamiliar with DBS."
"I would improve the license structure as, for some companies, it may seem a little bit expensive, depending on what they're doing."
"The feature called "action chains" could use a bit of enhancement."
"There was an attempt to enable front-end development, it did what it intended to do, but the side effects were too bad."
"The tool has minor bugs."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is overpriced."
"The product’s pricing is reasonable compared to other tools in the market."
"The solution is expensive. I would rate the pricing as ten out of ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"On a monthly basis, we pay around $2,500 for licensing fees, with no additional costs. We do pay extra licensing for other on-premises solutions, but these are not related to Oracle Cloud Platform."
"The license is a bit expensive for academic work."
"We pay the subscription cost."
"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."
"OCI's pricing is one of its best features."
"Oracle Visual Builder Cloud Service is much too expensive."
"It's not expensive when you consider what it provides: low-code/no-code development, faster development time, good quality, and good stability."
