Earlier, when we created an SR (Service Request), it used to be personally addressed by a person till closure. Nowadays, users are routed to Oracle Cloud Connect, a MetaLink where you find your documents. We are not seeing much personal attention from Oracle on addressing issues. People come up with different experiences and knowledge levels. There is no human guidance, and users are routed to Oracle Cloud Connect. It is good for some people who know everything and can understand everything. However, our problem may not be exactly the same as the one given in Oracle Cloud Connect. Being routed to Oracle Cloud Connect is not a good experience with the customer. Earlier, an SR used to be personally handled by a person who used to explain and give all the information. We used to go through the information, understand it, have our questions addressed, and then close it. That's how it used to happen. Nowadays, every SR is referred to Oracle Cloud Connect without a person actually handling the customer.

Database migration takes the same amount of time as with other clouds. But when we deploy something, it's different. In AWS, you can do everything within the console. They provide solutions and documentation. Oracle also has good documentation. But if we deploy an instance, it's not as easy to use as AWS. We have to go to the homepage, and it shows a lot of things. It is not easy. In AWS, we can easily go and deploy an instance. That's one example. In OCI, if I need something like a network card or VPC, it's more difficult than in AWS and Azure. I think they are maintaining different containers in a different way. If they are in different regions, I think I have to pick the Oracle region carefully. So that might be the cause of the difficulty.
