IT Infrastructure Manager at Lojas Renner SA

I don't use the tool directly. Based on what my team says, from one to ten, if one is difficult and ten is easy, I rate the product's initial setup phase as a nine. A technical person took care of the product's installation phase. The solution is deployed on the private and public clouds. The tool is majorly deployed on a private cloud. I use the cloud services from Microsoft Azure. The solution can be deployed in a period of two years. For deployment in the infrastructure, we had five people who are infrastructure specialists. About twenty people needed development, and the team consisted of analysts and specialists. For infrastructure, there were five people as specialists for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). Though we use too much of Azure, OCI is the biggest product for our company. Azure is managed by a medium number of people. There are five people to take care of the clouds.

Key learnings from peers

Last updated Nov 21, 2024

Valuable Features

"The technical support for the solution was very nice."
"One key feature is that you can make buckets private, requiring pre-authentication and using a specific URL for access. Additionally, the buckets are encrypted by default. The flexibility of public or private buckets and how you grant access are vital security features."
"The solution's most valuable features are its speed, unlimited space, and simplicity of use."

Room for Improvement

Oracle Cloud Object Storage needs an additional bucket for security. There are occasional glitches with policy applications, requiring troubleshooting and sometimes refreshing. Canceling an Oracle Cloud subscription demands deleting Oracle Cloud Object Storage first to avoid continued billing. Users desire more customization and manual task options. Improved integration with other platforms and enhanced performance are also suggested.

"Cost-wise, it is not an affordable tool if you allocate space, and try to use it some other day."
"Sometimes, there are glitches with applying policies. Even when the policy is correct, it might not work consistently. We need to troubleshoot to see if it's a user error or if the policy itself needs adjustment. It usually works after refreshing, but that inconsistency is a minor complexity."
"The solution should provide more customization and the possibility of doing more manual tasks."

ROI

Pricing

Oracle Cloud Object Storage users report varied pricing experiences. Yearly subscriptions are common, though disaster recovery can be costly depending on needs. Smaller DR needs might use a bucket for backup to save. Pricing for Object Storage could be lower, and licensing options are either pay-as-you-go, monthly, or upfront yearly or for three years. Costs are competitive with on-premises solutions but not always affordable for sporadic space allocation.

"During the billing cycle, if I use the tool only for a day, I still need to pay you for a month."
"Disaster recovery (DR) can be expensive."
"Oracle Cloud Object Storage might not be that expensive compared to on-premises solutions."
