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.

Handles security setups independently for a more secure environment
OpenShift does have more secure features. Azure also has equivalent services. For my client, it was good enough to switch to Azure. For development, there wasn't any significant change in effort, however, for the DevOps team, it was a relief since Azure has managed services. We used elasticity and scalability all over.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We use Oracle Cloud to host the OIC (Oracle Integration Cloud Service) and APEX."
"The most valuable features of the Oracle Cloud Platform are good visualization and analytics, and the solution is very well integrated with predictive analytics and forecasting, with features that go beyond the traditional reports and visualization."
"A good feature of the solution is the clear roadmap it provides specifically from Oracle to PC, there are good options to use OTP."
"It is a stable solution since it offers a very powerful performance to its users."
"In terms of features, upgradeability to the latest version of Oracle suites has been a good feature. All we have to do is just patching or an upgrade, it's pretty easy. Then, it gets regularly updated. That's what I like about it."
"The reliability and stability of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) is adequate, with only one or two moments in these four and a half years when Oracle Cloud had some issues, and there have been no recent issues."
"The solution is stable."
"From a Kenyan or African perspective, Oracle and Microsoft have a very good footprint across all the countries we operate in."
"The deployment mechanism has become more dynamic with the use of the product."
"The portability, moving from one platform to another, is easy."
"For the DevOps team, it was a relief since Azure has managed services."
"The stability of the solution is good."
"In general, customers appreciate its ability to run different workloads, manage applications through CI/CD pipelines like Jenkins, and leverage tools like Helm charts and Kako."
"I've used the elasticity and scalability all over."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The solution offers the most robust Kubernetes orchestration available."
 

Cons

"The solution's technical support services are more expensive than AWS. Also, they should expand the team to address day-to-day issues."
"I rate Oracle Cloud seven out of 10. I say seven because I don't have much experience with Oracle Cloud."
"The functionalities could be simplified as it is a bit difficult to learn."
"Database instances and computer storage are areas with shortcomings in the product that need improvement."
"OCI's user interface is awful and needs to be modernized."
"They could add more features."
"The solution isn't very mature. The on-premises deployment has more features and the cloud needs to work to match those options."
"The billing and right sizing for optimization of your cost in the cloud, a well architected frame, should be improved as soon as possible; the framework from AWS is so good, I would like to see this feature in OCI."
"The installation and configuration procedure should be simplified."
"The service mesh integrations could improve the solution."
"The general purpose solution tries to cater to too many customers so it is heavy."
"There is more work and effort needed for when many of the managed services are not accessible, especially in the security area. You have to do your own security setups as opposed to using a managed firewall."
"At this point, I cannot recommend this to other users because of the experience that we have had."
"Making it even more cost-effective could be explored."
"Many of the managed services are not accessible."
"Technical support could be a bit better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The subscription is a pay-as-you-go model, with fees that are dependent on usage."
"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."
"Oracle Cloud Platform has a decent pricing model."
"Oracle Cloud is an expensive solution."
"The solution is expensive."
"The cost may be a bit high for many potential users."
"It's very expensive compared to AWS."
"The pricing is a little bit expensive compared to other products."
"This product is not costly when compared to other vendors."
"The pricing is a little high in China."
