Executive SummaryUpdated on Dec 15, 2024

Oracle Java Cloud Service and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure compete in the cloud services category. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure seems to have the upper hand due to its comprehensive infrastructure services and versatility for broader cloud requirements.

Features: Oracle Java Cloud Service offers seamless integration for Java applications, pre-configured Oracle WebLogic Server instances, built-in diagnostics, and automated patching. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure provides high-performance computing, extensive storage solutions, and virtual networking capabilities.

Room for Improvement: Oracle Java Cloud Service could improve its scalability options, enhance support for non-Java environments, and streamline integration with third-party services.

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.

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

"The security on the solution is very good."

"I like the solution’s stability, performance, and fault alerts."

"The deployment is most valuable feature."

"Technical support is good. We are partners with Oracle so we are always speaking with them."

"It's a cloud, so it is easy to access anywhere."

"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."

"Frankly speaking, I've been very impressed with the stability the solution offers. Everything is working very well at the moment, and we haven't had any issues or faced any bugs or glitches."

"The features allow you to connect the service solutions with the client's requirements. It is user-friendly, easy to navigate and provides assistance."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) pros

"Backing up and recovery for my domain is very easy and fast. In addition, applying patches and undoing applied patches is effective and easy to do."

"One key feature is getting to choose the Virtual Machine configurations while setting up the server, which is an automated process."

"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."

"Self-provisioning, easy to choose from WebLogic 11g to 12c."

"It is pretty easy to use."

"The auto-backup, incremental backup and restoration features can be invaluable for management."

"The solution's technical support is good."

"The automated features of auto-purging in 12c helps clear disk space on a routine basis."

More Oracle Java Cloud Service pros

Cons

"The solution's reporting part is not good and needs more development."

"Oracle Cloud could improve AI. The design elements could be done better."

"Areas that need improvement are the pricing and the support."

"It could be more affordable."

"The tool should provide more options like other cloud services. Also, it should improve scalability with the free version."

"The biggest challenge I'm having with the cloud offering is the sizing. So, pricing becomes difficult. The sizing challenge is in terms of being very clear on how your data growth or your requirements would be. It becomes a bit difficult to be able to ensure that there's enough future proofing in what you've signed. At the same time, the whole idea behind the cloud is to be able to pay for what you use. You don't want to pay for something that you're not using."

"The solution needs to improve the discovery and assessment of the existing infrastructure."

"The product could use some more development and maturity so it has more peripheral functionality already integrated."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) cons

"The product is satisfactory but we need more training on managing the machine itself. For example, how do we add more storage, how do we extend a specific portion? I would like to see videos illustrating some of the technical tasks that we often need to do."

"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."

"Needs better integration with other Oracle/non-Oracle products."

"There are issues with the application's development, including small glitches and errors."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The best aspect of the Oracle Cloud Platform is the relation between the performance and the price. When you compare the price with Amazon AWS, Microsft Azure, or any other, the price for performance is the best."

"The solution's cost could be better."

"My ROI has increased."

"The solution is overpriced."

"The solution is expensive. I would rate the pricing as ten out of ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."

"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."

"Oracle Cloud is cheaper than other products."

"The price is middling; it's not the most expensive product, but there is still some room for it to be more flexible."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) pricing and cost advice

"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."

"It is somewhat expensive."

"Oracle Java Cloud Service is an expensive product."
