Cost-effectiveness and pricing consistency support diverse high-intensity applications
The services of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) are quite competent when compared to AWS Cloud, and they are also lower in cost. We use compute, storage, and network services. A notable feature is Oracle Cloud Infrastructure's consistent global pricing, which is advantageous. Furthermore, applications using Oracle Database not only work seamlessly on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) but also benefit from a 25% offset on Oracle Database licenses.
Adrian Bilauca - PeerSpot reviewer
Chief Software Engineer at Totalsoft
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 main benefit is that you're getting all of the resources you require on a subscription base. So, you get to pay as you go instead of having to have a CAPEX, you convert your CAPEX to OPEX to cover the data center cost."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Cloud is its autonomous database."
"The product's configuration is simple."
"Oracle Cloud Platform is a good solution because with large data platforms the data migration can be a challenge and this is the reason to move and migrate towards the cloud from on-premises."
"I have found Oracle Cloud to be a scalable solution."
"What I like most about Oracle Cloud Platform is the ease of getting data in and out of the cloud, and the affordable licensing."
"The scalability feature of the product is very impressive, especially considering the fact that the tool offers its users a pay-as-you-go model."
"It's a cloud, so it is easy to access anywhere."
"The portability, moving from one platform to another, is easy."
"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."
"I've used the elasticity and scalability all over."
"The deployment mechanism has become more dynamic with the use of the product."
"The solution offers the most robust Kubernetes orchestration available."
 

Cons

"There should be more management automation."
"The framework from AWS is so good, I would like to see this feature in OCI."
"Technical support does not offer the best service and should be improved."
"In a future release, they could improve by adding some form of machine learning and artificial intelligence."
"The scalability requires some improvement. This is one of the most important things they need to get better at."
"Nowadays, every SR is referred to Oracle Cloud Connect without a person actually handling the customer."
"I would like the Oracle Cloud Platform to have a more user-friendly UI similar to Microsoft Azure."
"Portability of the VMware environment into the Oracle Cloud should be made more simple."
"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 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."
"The general purpose solution tries to cater to too many customers so it is heavy."
"The installation and configuration procedure should be simplified."
"There is room for improvement in cluster-based queue monitoring and autoscaling."
"Technical support could be a bit better."
"Making it even more cost-effective could be explored."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is fair, but we have to manage it to keep it low."
"The pricing is the best."
"In Oracle Cloud Platform, one needs to make payments towards the subscription charges."
"The solution is cheaper compared to Oracle E-Business Suite."
"OCI's pricing is one of its best features."
"On a monthly basis, we pay around $2,500 for licensing fees, with no additional costs. We do pay extra licensing for other on-premises solutions, but these are not related to Oracle Cloud Platform."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"The costs involved are low when it comes to Oracle Cloud, especially when compared to AWS."
"The pricing is a little high in China."
"This product is not costly when compared to other vendors."
