Managed cloud services have helped accelerate experiments with flexible configuration options
Sometimes the costs associated with spinning up a service, especially managed services, have implications. For example, if I create a Glue job, that will create S3 buckets and other resources that have cost implications, but once I clean up a Glue job, it does not delete the other accessory resources. Sometimes, I have to go hunting for what resources Amazon AWS might have provisioned and how it is costing behind the scenes. It can be complex depending on your level of expertise. It is not as easy to get started, especially when it comes to secure practices. Amazon AWS is more hands-on than other platforms.

Offers flexibility and better accessibility to users
The security part of the tool is not so strong, making it an area I would like to see improved in the solution. When working with a cloud tool, it's never 100 percent secure and it is always something to take into account. I would like to be more comfortable working with it and feeling safer. In the future, the tool can be made faster. In the future, I would like to see maybe some AI features in the tool to help automate stuff. You need to be able to create your own models to help create some automated actions.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Cloud Trail API log storage."
"The whole solution is well designed and AWS has decent documentation, which is not to be taken for granted, and I've also found that AWS is easy to use."
"AWS has large community support."
"I like that the products are specific and objective. We can resolve a problem using a simple configuration. It's so easy to implement a solution and solve a problem using AWS solutions. AWS has a lot of specific solutions for different use cases. I think that this is the most important thing that made us consider using AWS."
"This product is stable and we plan to continue selling it in the future."
"We are loving this solution so far, and it has certainly reduced the time it takes to stack up new applications."
"I like that is very easy to use and that it's flexible."
"The solution is really reliable even when we were using it as a demo to showcase to clients."
"The product is very good, fine-tuned, and stable, and support is available 24/7 and is really fast and effective."
"The Oracle Java Cloud Service has enabled our developers to focus on what they do best: developing modern Java applications."
"The auto-backup, incremental backup and restoration features can be invaluable for management."
"The ability to manage security and access the server from any location with complete security using SSH is perfect for performing crucial tasks, even while travelling."
"Operational overhead and expenses have been reduced due to easy provisioning and decommissioning of dev/test environments."
"Self-provisioning, easy to choose from WebLogic 11g to 12c."
"The ability to manage security and access the server from any location with complete security using SSH is perfect for performing crucial tasks, even while travelling."
"It's a very low-cost option for a business to start with."
 

Cons

"Billing for cloud services can be difficult at times."
"I'm just bugged by the charges that I'm not really able to manage."
"They do not yet have a complete solution for APM monitoring. But this, along with real user monitoring, is something that they are actively working on improving."
"The pricing of AWS is very unclear; they make it quite confusing, and sometimes there are hidden charges."
"I'm finding that the solution can sometimes be slow."
"I'm just bugged by the charges that I'm not really able to manage."
"It should be more secure and have more integrations."
"It could be made cheaper. I know we spend a lot of money each month on AWS."
"I think there should be improvement with the speed and it should offer a more diverse selection of the suites that I can use."
"Integration with Oracle products is well-supported. The same should be provided for other products that are used in most organizations, like PeopleSoft, CA, etc."
"There are issues with the application's development, including small glitches and errors."
"Needs better integration with other Oracle/non-Oracle products."
"I would like to see more monitors for standard edition"
"The security part of the tool is not so strong, making it an area I would like to see improved in the solution."
"The product's high price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The product is satisfactory but we need more training on managing the machine itself."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is on a pay-as-use pricing model. The price of the solution could always be better but it is priced competitively."
"They have different pricing models for each suite of services."
"We pay a monthly licensing fee. It's below $100 a month."
"For our infrastructure, the cost is approximately $25 per device, and you have to include the other tools that we have in the cloud, for a total of approximately $200,000 per year."
"The solution is expensive compared to other providers because you need many of the services and it can add up fast."
"The price, in general, could be better."
"It is quite expensive in my very personal opinion. Going on-prem in a data center is, for sure, not as expensive as going to AWS, but when it comes to a point where you are raising and growing, it simply makes a lot of sense to stay in AWS. It is awesome in that way. I am not aware of any extra costs."
"The tool’s pricing is reasonable."
"Oracle is a little more expensive right now, but not much compared to SAP. Oracle's prices are very much dependent on the scale of the project and how many users are there."
"Oracle Java Cloud Service is an expensive product."
"It is somewhat expensive."
