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

"The functionality of these platforms is the same, but the performance of this solution for IAM is better."
"The key feature of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is its seamless integration with Oracle applications."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is a cloud-based solution."
"The availability of the solution is excellent."
"I find the interface to be great."
"It's a very robust solution, especially for the environment that you move onto the cloud."
"The support is very good. They are giving good support."
"Oracle products are easy to use."
"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."
"The stability of the solution is good."
"For the DevOps team, it was a relief since Azure has managed services."
"The most valuable feature of Red Hat OpenShift on IBM Cloud is the UI console. We are able to receive the resources from the console directly."
"Our pipeline integrates various monitoring tools like Fortify for security checks. Once the pipeline processes the code, the finished product is deployed on Red Hat OpenShift on IBM Cloud. We ensure application setup and recovery by utilizing two separate clusters on OpenShift."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The portability, moving from one platform to another, is easy."
"I've used the elasticity and scalability all over."
 

Cons

"There's one app I have to install on my device, the Articulate Player app. It's only available on Apple and Android, but it's not available for Windows. I can't run the program on my desktop, to use it to learn Java."
"I would like them to make it easier. The creation process is very long. There is a very long cookbook that we needed to build. It requires the DBA to build it well, and when you don't build it well it causes a lot of problems. We would like this process to be more automatic."
"Technical support could be a bit better."
"The solution needs to improve the creation process for server fonts and the usability and scripting methodology."
"Compared to providers like AWS or Azure, they do not have a large portfolio of services such as artificial intelligence, IoT, or blockchain."
"This service is very specific to Oracle and we cannot have other types of workloads on Oracle Cloud."
"There's a need for further customization to unlock the platform's full potential."
"The product's technical support is an area with shortcomings that need improvement."
"The service mesh integrations could improve the solution."
"The general purpose solution tries to cater to too many customers so it is heavy."
"Technical support could be a bit better."
"The performance could be better; it's a bit slow right now."
"At this point, I cannot recommend this to other users because of the experience that we have had."
"The installation and configuration procedure should be simplified."
"There is room for improvement in cluster-based queue monitoring and autoscaling."
"Many of the managed services are not accessible."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is middling; it's not the most expensive product, but there is still some room for it to be more flexible."
"Oracle Cloud is cheaper than other products."
"The solution's cost could be better."
"I rate Oracle Cloud three to four out of ten on a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"The price is fair, but we have to manage it to keep it low."
"The costs involved are low when it comes to Oracle Cloud, especially when compared to AWS."
"Pricing needs to be improved."
"The solution is free to use."
"The pricing is a little high in China."
"This product is not costly when compared to other vendors."
