Find out in this report how the two Infrastructure as a Service Clouds (IaaS) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Much more intuitive and more visual than AWS. More obvious where things are and how to change their configurations, etc."
"Feature-wise, I like its stability. Also, it is easy to access the solution and its options."
"I come from the DBA side so for me it's the easy maintenance; backups are very easy as well."
"It is a reliable solution that is easy to set up."
"The solution has high stability."
"It was easy to deploy our applications on it."
"We can easily access and integrate data sources from other platforms."
"The automated connectors to some of our critical enterprise systems are an important feature. These are very large, critical, global HCM systems."
"Overall, I would say that Oracle Cloud provides support with zero down time and the high probability is very good."
"The product gives you independence from hardware onsite, the setup is easy, and there is no need for hardware maintenance."
"What I like most about Oracle Cloud Platform is the ease of getting data in and out of the cloud, and the affordable licensing."
"The most important features are the turnkey solutions offered by Oracle. These ease the administration of Oracle Databases."
"A good feature of the solution is the clear roadmap it provides specifically from Oracle to PC, there are good options to use OTP."
"I like the solution’s stability, performance, and fault alerts."
"This is a highly available and scalable solution that can host both modern and legacy on-premises applications."
"We appreciate the fact that this solution will operate with both native and third-party applications. This has meant that we don't need to change all of our systems to accommodate it within our network."
"It should have a better hybrid-cloud central analysis. Their support service also needs to be improved. Our main concern is support calls. Our issue is basically related to the technical functionality of the services that we use. It doesn't behave as expected, and support often fails to solve the problem."
"Could be more user friendly; security features should be improved."
"Establishing the account in the beginning was very difficult."
"You eventually end up with a large collection of 'bits' all working together, I find it hard to be able to create a logical 'box' and put all the 'bits' that need to be in that box / application into the one place."
"Their backup strategy is a little complex which racks up the VM to other sole storage areas. This should be improved."
"It would be helpful if it offered more integration with other platforms."
"I would prefer Microsoft Azure to increase the free trial, then developers can take advantage, and it could increase their sales."
"I think Azure Active Directory and also the backup solutions provided in Azure need to be improved by Microsoft. The backup solution is not a very enterprise solution, and it is very simple. I think in comparison with other backup solutions like Nakivo and Veeam Backup, it can be improved to have a lot of options."
"The solution does not follow a retention policy while taking ad hoc backups. Since it does not follow the retention policy, we had to do the manual task to check the backups."
"The configuration through the cloud is complicated. It's not straightforward."
"It does require some training in order to be able to use it effectively."
"Some of the features of this solution, such as the digital assistant, require extensive configuration before they are suitable for use. We would like these to be made more straightforward and to require less manual input."
"Portability of the VMware environment into the Oracle Cloud should be made more simple."
"Oracle support could be better; we had cases where certain regions experienced specific issues and received little help from Oracle."
"In the next release, I would like to see more automation."
"Since our Oracle products are on premise we cannot get the premier Oracle products."
