Offers great reliability to users
Protection is an area in the product where improvements are required. If big companies want to use the tool for protection purposes, like security, which is a big thing people are looking for nowadays. Sometimes, the tool's user interface automatically puts all the files in a different place, making it a bit difficult to go deep and figure out in which folder a file is present. I need to search for a file and drill down to be able to find it. There are a few bugs in the tool, as with all content management tools, since the solution is usually used to deal with huge amounts of content. If the flow of the documents is huge, the tool might get slow for the end users, or when the data is being migrated or imported into the tools.

A workhorse that enables high availability but support has room for improvement
There is always room for improvement. When a product is marketed, many claims are made, but in reality, it does not always perform as expected. The usability and real-time capabilities could be enhanced. The product can be difficult to use compared to how it is marketed. Technical support also lacks a timely response.

"We use it mostly in the cloud. It is stable, requires high availability, and works with large datasets seamlessly."
"The most valuable features of the tool are scalability and security."
"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."
 

Cons

"This solution could be improved by increasing integration with other tools, like Microsoft."
"It is stable, but it can always be more stable."
"An area for improvement is that when you share with others, they can see all your folders instead of just those you share. Only the folders you specifically share should be visible."
"I would also like to be able to use my own tools and packages within this solution and also have a tool to visualize the data with graphics."
"The product must provide less frequent updates."
"I would like to see better pricing."
"There are inefficiencies with cache when the names are sequencing."
"I want the product to be available at a cheaper cost."
"The usability and real-time capabilities could be enhanced."
"Cost-wise, it is not an affordable tool if you allocate space, and try to use it some other day."
"The solution should provide more customization and the possibility of doing more manual tasks."
"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 product can be difficult to use compared to how it is marketed. Technical support also lacks a timely response."
"I could not find a load balancer in OCI similar to the support provided by Microsoft Azure and AWS."
"Oracle Cloud Object Storage needs to have an additional bucket for security."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If you're ready to pay, they're ready to give you as much storage as you want. Considering the features that Google Cloud Storage provides, the pricing is reasonable. So far, I'm still using the free service from them because I'm able to meet my requirements with the free subscription. Maybe, in the future, if a storage requirement comes, I'll pay for it or go for the license."
"The product pricing is reasonable."
"There is no license to use Google Cloud Storage."
"I pay for a monthly subscription."
"In general, it's fairly priced."
"The product is not expensive. If you are in India, the tool charges around six to eight USD if I consider the discounts offered by the product."
"If one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the product price as a nine to ten out of ten."
"I use the free version and have never paid for any extra storage. I have been able to manage in whatever free spaces are given."
"During the billing cycle, if I use the tool only for a day, I still need to pay you for a month."
"Oracle Cloud Object Storage might not be that expensive compared to on-premises solutions."
"Disaster recovery (DR) can be expensive."
"We have a yearly subscription for the product."
