Cloud platform has supported cost control and database integration but still needs better metrics and storage

I have not used Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI)'s networking solutions today. I studied it somewhat, but it is not my main area currently. We had some problems sometimes with Autonomous Database in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), for example, in the past months related to the asset of the metrics. We found problems related to what we wanted to show to the customer about the database because many metrics were missing. We usually worked together with members of Oracle Italia to ask them to introduce some metrics, for example, those that do not work correctly about CPU usage, memory usage, or network usage. There were some metrics in Oracle Autonomous Database in dedicated infrastructure that did not allow us to show correct information to the customer. We usually needed to ask Oracle Italia to introduce some metrics or clarify metric usage. In some cases, they showed incorrect data in the output, so we had to work with them to solve this problem. I am speaking about problems from approximately one year ago, so I do not know if they have fixed all of it now. One problem I faced in the past with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) was also related to documentation. Sometimes there are differences between Oracle Autonomous Database usage on shared infrastructures compared to dedicated infrastructures. When searching for documentation, it is not clear if one aspect or solution is usable in both technologies or on both shared and dedicated infrastructures. I found some documents proposed for Autonomous Database and then discovered that the case was applicable only for shared infrastructure, not dedicated. Oracle Italia explained to me that Oracle Autonomous Database on shared and dedicated are different products. However, I do not understand why if I have the same version of Oracle in both architectures, I cannot have access to some tools or internal packages in both technologies. We usually had to ask them to introduce also in dedicated infrastructures the use of some Oracle PL/SQL packages, some internal packages, for example, for the management of queues. Another aspect is that the storage of Oracle is not very user-friendly. In Autonomous, for example, where I think an autonomous database should manage storage correctly on its own, my experience is that often we have many allocated storage spaces that are free, but it is impossible to reclaim. We need to expand storage and pay for it, even though it is free. I think that regarding the internal management of storage, Oracle can improve.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The initial setup was straightforward."

"The initial setup of Oracle Cloud is simple...It is a scalable solution."

"I like the consistency that the solution offers to its uses, and I also like how secure and powerful the solution is since I haven't had to deal with any issues from my company's customers."

"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 most important features are the turnkey solutions offered by Oracle. These ease the administration of Oracle Databases."

"Oracle Cloud Platform is a good solution because with large data platforms the data migration can be a challenge and this is the reason to move and migrate towards the cloud from on-premises."

"Oracle is a more powerful database than Azure or AWS."

"We have not had any downtime using the solution."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) pros

"The action chains are really helpful, and the trigger event, along with those action chains, has been very helpful."

"You can avoid costly React developers that are required for building advanced UI."

"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."

"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."

"The most valuable feature was the visual drag and drop on the components."

Cons

"The solution needs to improve the discovery and assessment of the existing infrastructure."

"Managed services for Postgres are not available in Oracle Cloud."

"I would like them to make it easier. The creation process is very long. There is a very long cookbook that we needed to build. It requires the DBA to build it well, and when you don't build it well it causes a lot of problems. We would like this process to be more automatic."

"The biggest challenge I'm having with the cloud offering is the sizing. So, pricing becomes difficult. The sizing challenge is in terms of being very clear on how your data growth or your requirements would be. It becomes a bit difficult to be able to ensure that there's enough future proofing in what you've signed. At the same time, the whole idea behind the cloud is to be able to pay for what you use. You don't want to pay for something that you're not using."

"The pricing model of Oracle Cloud Platform is an area of concern. Oracle Cloud Platform should be made available at a cheap price."

"I work with many clouds and I would say, in comparison, others have a better presentation of services and they have clearer steps in terms of implementation."

"The roadmap from Oracle is quite unclear."

"The scalability requires some improvement. This is one of the most important things they need to get better at."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) cons

"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."

"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."

"The initial setup of Oracle VBCS can be challenging for those unfamiliar with DBS."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a subscription cost rather than licensing for this product."

"Oracle Cloud Platform is a bit costly. You can always bring your own license or subscribe to the SaaS option, but the SaaS option is very costly. I rate the pricing a six out of ten."

"The subscription is a pay-as-you-go model, with fees that are dependent on usage."

"Costing depends on if you have an existing license for the application and for the operating system."

"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."

"The subscription cost is too high."

"The costs involved are low when it comes to Oracle Cloud, especially when compared to AWS."

"The solution is cheaper compared to Oracle E-Business Suite."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) pricing and cost advice

"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."
