Cost-effective and can be used to host OIC and APEX

Earlier, when we created an SR (Service Request), it used to be personally addressed by a person till closure. Nowadays, users are routed to Oracle Cloud Connect, a MetaLink where you find your documents. We are not seeing much personal attention from Oracle on addressing issues. People come up with different experiences and knowledge levels. There is no human guidance, and users are routed to Oracle Cloud Connect. It is good for some people who know everything and can understand everything. However, our problem may not be exactly the same as the one given in Oracle Cloud Connect. Being routed to Oracle Cloud Connect is not a good experience with the customer. Earlier, an SR used to be personally handled by a person who used to explain and give all the information. We used to go through the information, understand it, have our questions addressed, and then close it. That's how it used to happen. Nowadays, every SR is referred to Oracle Cloud Connect without a person actually handling the customer.

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

"I am impressed with the tool's upscaling and resiliency features."

"Initial setup of databases is not a problem."

"The most valuable feature is the monitoring."

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

"Oracle Cloud Platform has good scalability."

"The performance and processing capability are excellent."

"The product helps us to use it as a central ERP and HCM."

"It's reliable, performs well, and is often faster than running applications on separate machines due to optimized performance and networking capabilities within OCI."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) pros

"The initial setup is easy."

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

"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."

Cons

"I work with many clouds and I would say, in comparison, others have a better presentation of services and they have clearer steps in terms of implementation."

"The solution needs improvement in support, performance, and features."

"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."

"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."

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

"Managed services for Postgres are not available in Oracle Cloud."

"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 product’s pricing should be reduced."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) cons

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

"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."

"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."

"There are some bugs in VBCS."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is cheaper compared to Oracle E-Business Suite."

"It's less expensive to operate your environment in the cloud than in-house. It's a bundle cost. Everything is included in one price."

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

"The solution is free to use."

"Its pricing is complex, but as partners, we can get away with quite a bit of discounting because we deal with them directly. I would rate their pricing probably a one or two out of five because they're quite expensive. Microsoft Azure will probably be the cheapest because depending on the Microsoft product that you have, they have some sort of bundling. There are things that they give you to get you onto Azure. AWS is probably somewhere in the middle."

"The pricing is the best."

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

"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."

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."

Overview

Cloud services where you need them

Your need for sovereignty, compliance, and location-specific performance should not limit your access to the latest cloud innovations. OCI gives you access to a full portfolio of cloud services wherever you need them. With a wide range of cloud options, including on-premises, dedicated Cloud@Customer, hybrid, multicloud solutions such as Oracle Database Service for Microsoft Azure, or public cloud, OCI’s distributed cloud portfolio—available across regions worldwide—solves your toughest business challenges.

Optimize enterprise applications without costly rearchitecture

When modernizing your enterprise apps, abandoning core technology isn’t feasible or necessary for success. OCI is built to address the unique requirements of performance-sensitive on-premises applications and other traditional enterprise apps—scale-up architectures, ultralow-latency networks, built-in security, and clustering of resources for availability in the cloud without risky and costly application refactoring. Additionally, OCI's specialized migration tools and programs facilitate easy transitioning.

Build and run cloud native or third-party apps with open source tools

Modern enterprises deserve the flexibility and freedom to choose from the various frameworks, clouds, and services available. Be it Postgres, SQL Server, Windows Server, VMware, or Kubernetes, OCI services are designed to easily run third-party, open source applications or to build cloud native applications. Our broad open source partner ecosystem enables you to bring apps to market faster, easily innovate, and scale.

Harness your data to uncover new business value

Data drives your business. Whether you’re building next-gen social applications or online games or seeking better outcomes from decades of healthcare data, making data work is getting harder.
