Alibaba Cloud vs Oracle Network Cloud Service comparison

"I rate Alibaba Cloud's scalability an eight out of ten."

"What's good about Alibaba Cloud is its database service. It's also good in the virtual machine area."

"Alibaba Cloud has lower costs and good support."

"The product's initial setup phase was easy for me since I had a background in cloud products."

"Feature-wise, it provides many features. ECS, VM, SP, bucket object storage, and databases are the most valuable."

"We use the solution to run VMs."

"It is a scalable product. So, scaling up or scaling down is possible."

"The most valuable feature of Alibaba Cloud is the communication it allows between two servers."

"The initial setup was straightforward."

"Alibaba Cloud has some problems related to latency and connection issues. If you go for a cloud solution provider, you will need to access the Internet, which may result in latency and bandwidth issues, leading to slowness in operations."

"It is not robust."

"From the improvement point of view, there are lots of issues that we are facing. In all the areas, it seems like it is not mature. For example, a customer wants to provision some VM that has many configurations. If I want to show the price to the customer, it is very challenging. The SDK that Alibaba has provided is very limited. We can have the pricing for VM, but we cannot have pricing for RDS databases or some other services. This is a big concern area for us. They should put more effort into the SDKs or APIs that they provide, for example, pricing APIs or pricing SDK. They do not provide support for most of the services they provide. For example, if I want to get the price of MongoDB, that SDK is not available from Alibaba. Similarly, robust API support is required for S3, which is OSS or Object Storage, so that we can read the data in a faster manner, for example, in chunks. We have raised many issues with the Alibaba support team, and they have been fixing the issues after we report them."

"The support offered by the tool is ridiculous."

"The solution’s user interface could be improved."

"The solution should have more integration."

"Alibaba Cloud's initial setup is somewhat complex."

"I think that sometimes the customer service for Alibaba Cloud is inefficient.... Sometimes it's hard to reach out to them."

"Most of the customers complain about the network communicating with the Cloud."

"I noticed on the pricing that it's quite expensive. It is the price you pay for making a practical choice for enterprise-level companies since it has so many features and it fits an enterprise-level company just like our company right now."

"The cost is better than similar solutions."

"Pricing for Alibaba Cloud is a little bit cheaper. It has reasonable pricing."

"I'm not sure about the exact pricing, but let's just say if it cost a dollar for Amazon AWS, it was closer to 70 to 80 cents for Alibaba Cloud."

"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a three out of ten."

"I don't know the exact cost. It is cheaper than AWS."

"We cut our costs significantly by migrating our infrastructure to the cloud. Alibaba Cloud employs a pay-as-you-go model, so that minimizes many costs for us."

"The product is not that expensive."
