Cloud platform has supported cost control and database integration but still needs better metrics and storage

I have not used Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI)'s networking solutions today. I studied it somewhat, but it is not my main area currently. We had some problems sometimes with Autonomous Database in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), for example, in the past months related to the asset of the metrics. We found problems related to what we wanted to show to the customer about the database because many metrics were missing. We usually worked together with members of Oracle Italia to ask them to introduce some metrics, for example, those that do not work correctly about CPU usage, memory usage, or network usage. There were some metrics in Oracle Autonomous Database in dedicated infrastructure that did not allow us to show correct information to the customer. We usually needed to ask Oracle Italia to introduce some metrics or clarify metric usage. In some cases, they showed incorrect data in the output, so we had to work with them to solve this problem. I am speaking about problems from approximately one year ago, so I do not know if they have fixed all of it now. One problem I faced in the past with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) was also related to documentation. Sometimes there are differences between Oracle Autonomous Database usage on shared infrastructures compared to dedicated infrastructures. When searching for documentation, it is not clear if one aspect or solution is usable in both technologies or on both shared and dedicated infrastructures. I found some documents proposed for Autonomous Database and then discovered that the case was applicable only for shared infrastructure, not dedicated. Oracle Italia explained to me that Oracle Autonomous Database on shared and dedicated are different products. However, I do not understand why if I have the same version of Oracle in both architectures, I cannot have access to some tools or internal packages in both technologies. We usually had to ask them to introduce also in dedicated infrastructures the use of some Oracle PL/SQL packages, some internal packages, for example, for the management of queues. Another aspect is that the storage of Oracle is not very user-friendly. In Autonomous, for example, where I think an autonomous database should manage storage correctly on its own, my experience is that often we have many allocated storage spaces that are free, but it is impossible to reclaim. We need to expand storage and pay for it, even though it is free. I think that regarding the internal management of storage, Oracle can improve.

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.

"I find the Single Sign-On, SSO, feature to be valuable."

"The most valuable feature of this solution is the high level of performance for the databases."

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

"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 tool is very easy to use."

Cons

"The biggest challenge I'm having with the cloud offering is the sizing. So, pricing becomes difficult."

"Oracle support could be better; we had cases where certain regions experienced specific issues and received little help from Oracle."

"There's a need for further customization to unlock the platform's full potential."

"The solution is expensive"

"In the next release, I would like to see more automation."

"With the Oracle Cloud Platform, they have to give first some proper documentation with a step-by-step process; 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 configuration through the cloud is complicated. It's not straightforward."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) cons

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

"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."

"The tool has minor bugs."

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

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

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

"There are some bugs in VBCS."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Oracle Cloud is cheaper than other products."

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

"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."

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

"The pricing is reasonable."

"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."

"It's very expensive compared to AWS."

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

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) pricing and cost advice

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

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