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 low-code/no-code concept makes development much easier and faster and offers good community support as the development team actively answers questions on the community every day

There are very minor things, like the feature called "action chains," that could use a bit of enhancement. But the team is perfect; they're working on it. An action chain is a sequence of actions triggered by a button or an event. It executes code in order, from top to bottom. For example, it could call a code, call a REST service, and then insert data into a database. It needs enhancement because it can be a bit complex for fresh grads or new developers to understand. It would be better if it was made more readable. That's the main point. But if you have experience, you'll understand it easily. One more thing I want to add about Visual Builder: up until two years ago, it supported native mobile development. That's not available anymore. They replaced native mobile development with progressive web apps, and most customers are complaining about that. We need native mobile development back – the ability to put apps on stores like Google Play or the App Store. That feature is not available right now, and they deprecated it starting in 2024. It's very important. Otherwise, clients go with Flutter or other mobile development tools. It would be good for Oracle to regain that capability. We need the native mobile development feature back.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Oracle Cloud Platform has good scalability."

"The deployment is most valuable feature."

"The most valuable feature of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) is Data Safe, which allows for the masking and encryption of personal identifiable information, ensuring data security."

"The scalability feature of the product is very impressive, especially considering the fact that the tool offers its users a pay-as-you-go model."

"The strength of this product is that they have many good database options, compared to other vendors."

"It is a stable solution...Since it is a cloud solution, I can say it is a scalable product."

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

"The technical support is good, they have been responsive and helpful."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) pros

"The tool is very easy to use."

"The action chains are really helpful, and the trigger event, along with those action chains, has been very helpful."

"You don't need a dedicated IDE to develop. You can work from any browser, which is very convenient. And, with the cloud concept, your code is stored in the cloud, so you can modify it from anywhere, at any time."

"VBS is another tool that allows users to create enterprise applications without needing to store their projects in traditional databases like SQL."

"The most valuable feature was the visual drag and drop on the components."

"The initial setup is easy."

Cons

"Sometimes when we install something, we need to partition and maybe rebuild the index. This can cause some issues for performance. In the future, I would like to see more stability and fewer bugs."

"The integration tools that they offer are quite complex to use."

"The Oracle Cloud platform remains complex, and despite the abundance of resources available, significant challenges can still arise during the migration process from a legacy or on-premise system. Conversely, smaller companies with less complicated systems, such as those with a two million budget, can migrate more easily."

"The scalability requires some improvement. This is one of the most important things they need to get better at."

"Though Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) has robust features, improvements could be made to its authentication and identity access management, specifically in making them more seamless without using fingerprints for authentication."

"They could add more features."

"What I'd like to see from Oracle Cloud is an option for the customer to have a single portal to manage and monitor not just Oracle Cloud, but some of the on-premise products in the hybrid scenario as well. If it can be shipped out as an out-of-the-box solution, that would be wonderful. It's not so easy, but for a company like Oracle, it shouldn't be a problem. Many customers go through a lot of effort and burn money to achieve this, so it's an opportunity for Oracle to provide it for customers looking for this type of solution."

"Technical support could be a bit better."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) cons

"There are some bugs in VBCS."

"The initial setup of Oracle VBCS can be challenging for those unfamiliar with DBS."

"The tool has minor bugs."

"The feature called "action chains" could use a bit of enhancement."

"I would improve the license structure as, for some companies, it may seem a little bit expensive, depending on what they're doing."

"There was an attempt to enable front-end development, it did what it intended to do, but the side effects were too bad."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product’s pricing is reasonable compared to other tools in the market."

"The license is a bit expensive for academic work."

"The pricing is a little bit expensive compared to other products."

"The costs involved are low when it comes to Oracle Cloud, especially when compared to AWS."

"The licenses for this solution are very comprehensive and, therefore, very economical; there is only one cost, and it covers all available features without any chargeable add-ons."

"The price for Oracle Cloud may seem expensive, but if you start comparing features and what Oracle offers, you'll realize that the pricing for Oracle Cloud is competitive. If you consider every aspect of Oracle Cloud, you'll see that its price tag is reasonable because it has a good user interface, user experience, and management. Oracle Cloud is a sophisticated infrastructure and the level of management it allows you to enjoy isn't available in other solutions, so I wouldn't worry about needing to invest huge money into it because it's a wonderful product to use."

"It's not that expensive. I think it's maybe half or one-fourth of our actual on-prem cost, especially in Oracle Data Integrator. It's pretty cheap. Maybe around $30,000 or $40,000 per month."

"My ROI has increased."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) pricing and cost advice

"Oracle Visual Builder Cloud Service is much too expensive."

"It's not expensive when you consider what it provides: low-code/no-code development, faster development time, good quality, and good stability."
