Hybrid cloud has supported payment services and provides reliable networked virtual machines

There are no restrictions about usage of these virtual machines because Linux machines are used, and everything needed is installed on our own responsibility, as all applications are developed by vendors who produce them for us. This is why there are no restrictions felt in usage of cloud services. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) offers good services, though the price could be lower than it currently is. AI and machine learning features of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) have not been used in production, as research is being conducted in this area. Services provided to customers are very well tested, and untested services are not offered to customers. Currently, research is being conducted on the usage of AI offerings through Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) or other vendors of AI tools.

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

"Our use case is for a variety of purposes; we use it for our billing system, our operations support system, our analytic data warehousing, digitalization, customer service, marketing, and sales, so it is integral to our operations."

"If you need an environment with scalability and trust for your services, OCI, you won't need to worry."

"The most valuable feature of Oracle Cloud is its autonomous database."

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

"What is most valuable to me is a very general thing, it is just having the many options and features offered by the product, including accessibility through the internet and flexibility in supporting different capabilities and integrations."

"The most valuable feature is that it offers several adaptors."

"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."

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

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) pros

"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."

"The initial setup is easy."

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

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

"The tool is very easy to use."

"You can avoid costly React developers that are required for building advanced UI."

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

Cons

"The solution isn't very mature. The on-premises deployment has more features and the cloud needs to work to match those options."

"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."

"With the Oracle Cloud Platform, they have to give first some proper documentation with a step-by-step process. Then the customer is able to use it properly. Nowadays, the Oracle Cloud Platform requires lots of floor work."

"I think that there could be a more user-friendly environment when it comes to the options that Oracle presents through the Oracle Cloud Platform."

"The initial setup can be made easier and the technical support team should give faster responses. Oracle can introduce the VPN service that can be directly connected to the machine and perform work directly on the server. This feature can help users."

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

"The product roadmap strategy for some of the products is not clear."

"The packaging part of the software needs improvement. It lacks customization abilities for users. Giving them VMs for machine learning or running their own programs like Azure and Amazon, for example. Things like scalability based on the requirement of the tools. Oracle still lacks these kinds of things. For example, if you need a VM from Oracle, you need to pay for a monthly fee. They started developing containership but it's still at the initial stage and it's still lacking. They also need to develop integration between packages."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) cons

"The tool has minor bugs."

"There are some bugs in VBCS."

"My honest opinion is: do not use this solution — there are plenty of free options out there that will do the trick."

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

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

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

"If you're doing some, for example, extremely responsive applications for the web, it's not as good."

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive."

"Oracle offers universal credit and pay-as-you-go options."

"The solution is expensive according to services and competition. Also, it is not prevalent in the market. I rate the solution’s pricing a seven on a scale of ten, where ten is expensive, and one is cheap."

"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 license is a bit expensive for academic work."

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

"It is cheaper as a solution model. It isn’t cheaper than SAP but offers more features and competition."

"Improvements can be made with respect to flexibility in the licensing model."

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."
