Hybrid cloud has supported payment services and provides reliable networked virtual machines
There are no restrictions about usage of these virtual machines because Linux machines are used, and everything needed is installed on our own responsibility, as all applications are developed by vendors who produce them for us. This is why there are no restrictions felt in usage of cloud services. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) offers good services, though the price could be lower than it currently is. AI and machine learning features of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) have not been used in production, as research is being conducted in this area. Services provided to customers are very well tested, and untested services are not offered to customers. Currently, research is being conducted on the usage of AI offerings through Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) or other vendors of AI tools.

Offers low-code/no-code concept makes development much easier and faster and offers good community support as the development team actively answers questions on the community every day
There are very minor things, like the feature called "action chains," that could use a bit of enhancement. But the team is perfect; they're working on it. An action chain is a sequence of actions triggered by a button or an event. It executes code in order, from top to bottom. For example, it could call a code, call a REST service, and then insert data into a database. It needs enhancement because it can be a bit complex for fresh grads or new developers to understand. It would be better if it was made more readable. That's the main point. But if you have experience, you'll understand it easily. One more thing I want to add about Visual Builder: up until two years ago, it supported native mobile development. That's not available anymore. They replaced native mobile development with progressive web apps, and most customers are complaining about that. We need native mobile development back – the ability to put apps on stores like Google Play or the App Store. That feature is not available right now, and they deprecated it starting in 2024. It's very important. Otherwise, clients go with Flutter or other mobile development tools. It would be good for Oracle to regain that capability. We need the native mobile development feature back.

Pros

"It is a stable solution since it offers a very powerful performance to its users."
"There is ROI with the product's use."
"I think Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) is a very good choice today to use and to recommend to other customers."
"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 performance and processing capability are excellent."
"Oracle Cloud Platform has good scalability."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Cloud is the digital assistant."
"Overall, I would say that Oracle Cloud provides support with zero down time and the high probability is very good."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The tool is very easy to use."
"The action chains are really helpful, and the trigger event, along with those action chains, has been very helpful."
"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."
"VBS is another tool that allows users to create enterprise applications without needing to store their projects in traditional databases like SQL."
"The most valuable feature was the visual drag and drop on the components."
"You can avoid costly React developers that are required for building advanced UI."
 

Cons

"In the next release, I would like to see more automation."
"Managed services for Postgres are not available in Oracle Cloud."
"The product's technical support is an area with shortcomings that need improvement."
"They could add more features."
"Technical support could be more responsive."
"The initial setup can be a bit complex."

"There should be more management automation."
"The initial setup of Oracle VBCS can be challenging for those unfamiliar with DBS."
"If you're doing some, for example, extremely responsive applications for the web, it's not as good."
"My honest opinion is: do not use this solution — there are plenty of free options out there that will do the trick."
"There was an attempt to enable front-end development, it did what it intended to do, but the side effects were too bad."
"I would improve the license structure as, for some companies, it may seem a little bit expensive, depending on what they're doing."
"The tool has minor bugs."
"There are some bugs in VBCS."
"The feature called "action chains" could use a bit of enhancement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is a little bit expensive compared to other products."
"The price for Oracle Cloud may seem expensive, but if you start comparing features and what Oracle offers, you'll realize that the pricing for Oracle Cloud is competitive. If you consider every aspect of Oracle Cloud, you'll see that its price tag is reasonable because it has a good user interface, user experience, and management. Oracle Cloud is a sophisticated infrastructure and the level of management it allows you to enjoy isn't available in other solutions, so I wouldn't worry about needing to invest huge money into it because it's a wonderful product to use."
"Make sure you read the fine print."
"Oracle offers universal credit and pay-as-you-go options."
"The solution is expensive. I would rate the pricing as ten out of ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"We pay the subscription cost."
"Improvements can be made with respect to flexibility in the licensing model."
"The price is fair, but we have to manage it to keep it low."
"It's not expensive when you consider what it provides: low-code/no-code development, faster development time, good quality, and good stability."
"Oracle Visual Builder Cloud Service is much too expensive."
