Great for big data with off-the-charts scalability for storage and databases
The solution should be more configurable for high-volume databases. The managed service does not allow flexible database configurations that are needed for better filter performance. We have a TPS first-grade, high-volume database using an ERC system. We are moving to Clarity for managed services and need more configurations to support it. The solution could improve its management services for MongoDB. The website's memory only allows one TB.

Suitable for OCI environment but needs to improve pricing
We haven’t had any problems with the setup of Oracle. The deployment will take less than seven to ten days since it can give good reports. For deployment, we first need to understand the customer requirements and build the architecture around the deployment. We have the customer sign off on it and then go into the software deployment side. This is the proper life cycle of how to do it in the enterprise space. There are a lot of thoughts around the initial way or how we need to structure and architect the environment. For enterprises, it is a complex process. It will take one to two months to have all the sign-offs before we can go into implementation. It is followed across all the installations. I rate the initial setup of the solution a ten out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The performance is a valuable feature."
"It is very easy to share documents."
"The stability of Google Cloud is currently good."
"This platform is popular with technical users because of the abilities for customization and fine-tuning performance."
"The availability of content on the solution is very valuable."
"Good storage and ease of access."
"It's easy to deploy next-generation applications on Google Cloud. Customers can also use various cloud tools to optimize their operations and generate more insights to do business much smarter."
"The tool's most valuable feature is encryption. Google Cloud has reduced our operational costs and increased efficiency. For example, deploying production applications traditionally took about a month, but with Google Cloud, it now takes only a day or two. This also extends to monitoring, allowing us to identify and address issues faster than on-premises solutions."
"Oracle is valuable for improving performance and addressing issues between the nodes of clusters for private IPs. It provides a private connection between the client and the security cluster."
"Overall, I would say that Oracle Cloud provides support with zero down time and the high probability is very good."
"Our recommendations are good, and we also have a bidding platform that is helpful for managed service providers. This platform can save customers up to 2-3 weeks in billing time, from 25 days to 3-4 days. We have two products: a basic product and a cloud optimization product. Both products help customers improve the performance and cost-efficiency of their cloud environments."
"I like having the ability to easily run Oracle Linux server instances and to deploy Oracle Middleware and WebLogic servers. Oracle's Infrastructure as a Service products are also very useful, and we're using those right now within Oracle OCI."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Cloud is the digital assistant."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Cloud is its autonomous database."
"I like that the program is flexible. I can use it to write Java scripts. I also like the website, because it constantly updates me on things, like artificial intelligence, and the latest technology. I read the articles, on the latest technology that programmers can use."
"We use Oracle Cloud to host the OIC (Oracle Integration Cloud Service) and APEX."
 

Cons

"The price can be lowered significantly."
"Could provide more services."
"Workload management could be better. Their pricing could also be more flexible."
"I would like to see an increase in storage with Google Cloud."
"They could always offer even more storage at the base level."
"The solution could be cheaper."
"I would like for this solution to improve its user interface and documentation."
"Google Cloud should provide more introductory videos on how to get started. Currently, very few of these resources are available. Additionally, training on Google Cloud products is not very well streamlined. Users have to search for training, which can be quite complex."
"Simplifying the cloud management console would be really valuable for small and large customers alike."
"Oracle Cloud could improve AI. The design elements could be done better."
"The solution's reporting part is not good and needs more development."
"Oracle Cloud is not a user-friendly tool. From an improvement perspective, I want Oracle Cloud to be more user-friendly."
"The solution is expensive. So we try to use MySQL on AWS to push the data. The tool’s support could be improved."
"With Oracle you have to create your own roles and it is more complex."
"The portfolio should improve for the Oracle Cloud Platform. Oracle has to increase the services offered. New services should be added to be able to compete better with Amazon AWS which is the best, and the biggest service. Oracle Cloud Platform has a small portfolio, but it's a good one."
"The main issue for the clients is that they need to understand the credit payments because if it's a currency that's not dollars or euros, Oracle will always convert it into credits and that's not easy for the customer to understand at the beginning."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is cheaper than Azure."
"The cost might be $10 a month per user, which is about $300 a month in total."
"The best part of Google Cloud is that it is cheaper than the competitors."
"The solution is cheaper than AWS."
"Licensing fees are paid monthly."
"Google Cloud should be divided into modules so that users can buy which module will satisfy them. The overall price of Google Cloud should be reduced, Microsoft is a little bit cheaper. However, if Google divided the cloud offering it would be better. For example, if someone wants to use only for OneDrive they should be able to purchase the service separately, it would reduce the price. There is a license required to use this solution for enterprises. There is a free account, which the users can increase the size of the space. Google cloud is used in most Android Mobile device operating systems."
"The price of Google Cloud is affordable compared to others services. I pay monthly for the service."
"The biggest problem with Google Cloud is price."
"The solution's cost could be better."
"The pricing for Oracle Cloud services is reasonable. Additionally, compared to other service providers, Oracle has a substantial presence and established infrastructure in Bangladesh. Considering all these factors together makes Oracle Cloud an ideal choice and a strong contender in the market."
"It is cheaper as a solution model. It isn’t cheaper than SAP but offers more features and competition."
"I would rate the tool’s pricing a ten out of ten since it is expensive."
"Oracle offers universal credit and pay-as-you-go options."
"I rate Oracle Cloud three to four out of ten on a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"My ROI has increased."
"The solution is expensive. I would rate the pricing as ten out of ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
