Suitable for OCI environment but needs to improve pricing
We haven’t had any problems with the setup of Oracle. The deployment will take less than seven to ten days since it can give good reports. For deployment, we first need to understand the customer requirements and build the architecture around the deployment. We have the customer sign off on it and then go into the software deployment side. This is the proper life cycle of how to do it in the enterprise space. There are a lot of thoughts around the initial way or how we need to structure and architect the environment. For enterprises, it is a complex process. It will take one to two months to have all the sign-offs before we can go into implementation. It is followed across all the installations. I rate the initial setup of the solution a ten out of ten.

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

"It's a cloud, so it is easy to access anywhere."
"The features allow you to connect the service solutions with the client's requirements. It is user-friendly, easy to navigate and provides assistance."
"Overall, I would say that Oracle Cloud provides support with zero down time and the high probability is very good."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Cloud is the digital assistant."
"It is a stable solution since it offers a very powerful performance to its users."
"The strength of this product is that they have many good database options, compared to other vendors."
"The most valuable features of the Oracle Cloud Platform are good visualization and analytics. The solution is very well integrated with predictive analytics and forecasting. These features go beyond the traditional reports and visualization."
"The solution offers many features and it is a complete replica of our data center."
"I've used the elasticity and scalability all over."
"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."
"The deployment mechanism has become more dynamic with the use of the product."
"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."
"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 portability, moving from one platform to another, is easy."
"The solution offers the most robust Kubernetes orchestration available."
"For the DevOps team, it was a relief since Azure has managed services."
 

Cons

"The product’s pricing should be reduced."
"The product roadmap strategy for some of the products is not clear."
"Specific to the Oracle Cloud; while they have been able to showcase inbuilt features for Oracle applications, what doesn't really come across clearly is what happens when you want to host, work with, or integrate with applications outside of the Oracle stack."
"The solution should integrate better with other tools and different vendors."
"The configuration through the cloud is complicated. It's not straightforward."
"The framework from AWS is so good, I would like to see this feature in OCI."
"I would like more technical expertise."
"In general, the systems application needs improvement."
"The installation and configuration procedure should be simplified."
"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."
"The service mesh integrations could improve the solution."
"The general purpose solution tries to cater to too many customers so it is heavy."
"Many of the managed services are not accessible."
"There is room for improvement in cluster-based queue monitoring and autoscaling."
"Making it even more cost-effective could be explored."
"The effectiveness is satisfactory, and there haven't been any additional fees due to meeting demands. However, there's room for improvement in pricing, performance, and stability. Regarding the UI, it could be more user-friendly and integrated with various platforms. Currently, the UI lacks user-friendliness, especially for developers unfamiliar with container technology. Expecting them to create YAML files for security purposes is unrealistic without proper guidance or experience. This aspect needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a subscription cost rather than licensing for this product."
"The pricing for Oracle Cloud services is reasonable. Additionally, compared to other service providers, Oracle has a substantial presence and established infrastructure in Bangladesh. Considering all these factors together makes Oracle Cloud an ideal choice and a strong contender in the market."
"In Oracle Cloud Platform, one needs to make payments towards the subscription charges."
"The license is a bit expensive for academic work."
"Oracle offers universal credit and pay-as-you-go options."
"We pay the subscription cost."
"The solution is cheaper compared to Oracle E-Business Suite."
"Oracle Cloud Platform has a decent pricing model."
"The pricing is a little high in China."
"This product is not costly when compared to other vendors."
