Featured Reviews

Labhesh Hase - PeerSpot reviewer
Cost-effectiveness and pricing consistency support diverse high-intensity applications
The services of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) are quite competent when compared to AWS ( /products/amazon-aws-reviews ) 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 ( /products/oracle-database-reviews ) not only work seamlessly on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) but also benefit from a 25% offset on Oracle Database licenses.
Adrian Bilauca - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"I like that the program is flexible. I can use it to write Java scripts. I also like the website, because it constantly updates me on things, like artificial intelligence, and the latest technology. I read the articles, on the latest technology that programmers can use."
"The autonomous database functions are an excellent feature."
"Oracle Cloud Platform has good scalability."
"Apart from the licensing, there's support from Oracle Cloud Platform which improved our day to day operations. Time is reduced. Based on this service, we are able to scale up dependent applications as quickly as we can."
"Oracle Cloud is reasonably scalable - I'd rate it seven out of ten."
"This is a highly available and scalable solution that can host both modern and legacy on-premises applications."
"The feature I think should be improved is the option to rename the machines."
"We use Oracle Cloud to host the OIC (Oracle Integration Cloud Service) and APEX."
"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."
"For the DevOps team, it was a relief since Azure has managed services."
"I've used the elasticity and scalability all over."
"The initial setup is easy."
"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 portability, moving from one platform to another, is easy."
"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 deployment mechanism has become more dynamic with the use of the product."
 

Cons

"The product’s pricing should be reduced."
"Portability of the VMware environment into the Oracle Cloud should be made more simple."
"Since our Oracle products are on premise we cannot get the premier Oracle products."
"The setup was not simple."
"There is room for improvement for stability."
"The solution needs to improve the discovery and assessment of the existing infrastructure."
"Oracle Cloud could be improved with better third-party integrations."
"Nowadays, every SR is referred to Oracle Cloud Connect without a person actually handling the customer."
"The service mesh integrations could improve the solution."
"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."
"Technical support could be a bit better."
"The general purpose solution tries to cater to too many customers so it is heavy."
"There is room for improvement in cluster-based queue monitoring and autoscaling."
"The installation and configuration procedure should be simplified."
"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

"Improvements can be made with respect to flexibility in the licensing model."
"The solution is expensive. I would rate the pricing as ten out of ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"Costing depends on if you have an existing license for the application and for the operating system."
"The price for Oracle Cloud may seem expensive, but if you start comparing features and what Oracle offers, you'll realize that the pricing for Oracle Cloud is competitive. If you consider every aspect of Oracle Cloud, you'll see that its price tag is reasonable because it has a good user interface, user experience, and management. Oracle Cloud is a sophisticated infrastructure and the level of management it allows you to enjoy isn't available in other solutions, so I wouldn't worry about needing to invest huge money into it because it's a wonderful product to use."
"There is an annual and a subscription option."
"The licenses for this solution are very comprehensive and, therefore, very economical; there is only one cost, and it covers all available features without any chargeable add-ons."
"Oracle Cloud's pricing is competitive. The tool changes its pricing when there is a change in its architecture."
"The solution is expensive."
"This product is not costly when compared to other vendors."
"The pricing is a little high in China."
