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 tool is a leader in cloud technology and it is very professional."

"We use the solution for EC2. It helps me to create around six servers for free to test out things. It also provides me with an authenticated cloud nameserver. We also use it as a wireguard endpoint."

"When compared with other products, this product is very good because it's easy to move from primary to secondary sites. With other products, you need to build everything from the base. With Oracle Data Cloud, you can move from the primary to the secondary and return back to the primary by a very simple command, and you never lose data."

"Oracle is valuable for improving performance and addressing issues between the nodes of clusters for private IPs. It provides a private connection between the client and the security cluster."

"They seem to be more readily integrating with Azure, which is great."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is a cloud-based solution."

"We are not using any features offered by OCI but only using virtual machines. So our data only syncs from our On-premises to cloud. The compute and performance are better than other cloud solutions."

"The simple infrastructure of the service is very useful."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) pros

"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."

"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."

"The initial setup is easy."

"For the DevOps team, it was a relief since Azure has managed services."

"The solution offers the most robust Kubernetes orchestration available."

"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."

Cons

"The solution does not follow a retention policy while taking ad hoc backups. Since it does not follow the retention policy, we had to do the manual task to check the backups."

"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."

"Oracle Cloud could improve AI. The design elements could be done better."

"It could be more affordable."

"The setup was not very simple but not complex either."

"Many customers go through a lot of effort and burn money to achieve this, so it's an opportunity for Oracle to provide it for customers looking for this type of solution."

"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."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) cons

"Many of the managed services are not accessible."

"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."

"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."

"The performance could be better; it's a bit slow right now."

"The installation and configuration procedure should be simplified."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's not that expensive. I think it's maybe half or one-fourth of our actual on-prem cost, especially in Oracle Data Integrator. It's pretty cheap. Maybe around $30,000 or $40,000 per month."

"The subscription cost is too high."

"The price of the solution should be reduced to a price that people can afford."

"The pricing is reasonable."

"I compared Oracle Cloud Platform with other competitor providers like Azure, and I don't think Oracle is too expensive."

"The cost may be a bit high for many potential users."

"We pay the subscription cost."

"The costs involved are low when it comes to Oracle Cloud, especially when compared to AWS."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) pricing and cost advice

"This product is not costly when compared to other vendors."

"The pricing is a little high in China."
