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 solution offers many features and it is a complete replica of our data center."
"The most valuable feature is that it offers several adaptors."
"The initial setup was easy, and it takes just a few minutes to create a virtual machine."
"The stability of the solution is very good...The technical support is good."
"The simple infrastructure of the service is very useful."
"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 solution is stable."
"The flexibility is most valuable, because by having our infrastructure in the cloud we are able to spin up instances as needed and alter the capacity as needed, and everything is working as we expect it."
"The portability, moving from one platform to another, is easy."
"The deployment mechanism has become more dynamic with the use of the product."
"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."
"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 solution offers the most robust Kubernetes orchestration available."
"The stability of the solution is good."
 

Cons

"The roadmap from Oracle is quite unclear."
"Managed services for Postgres are not available in Oracle Cloud."
"In a future release, they could improve by adding some form of machine learning and artificial intelligence."
"I think that there could be a more user-friendly environment when it comes to the options that Oracle presents through the Oracle Cloud Platform."
"In the next release, I would like to see more automation."
"The product features related to the manufacturing domain must be improved."
"Simple provisioning is fine, but when it comes to complex provisioning, Oracle Cloud is not quick compared to competing solutions."
"Simplifying the cloud management console would be really valuable for small and large customers alike."
"Many of the managed services are not accessible."
"The general purpose solution tries to cater to too many customers so it is heavy."
"Technical support could be a bit better."
"There is room for improvement in cluster-based queue monitoring and autoscaling."
"The service mesh integrations could improve the solution."
"The installation and configuration procedure should be simplified."
"The performance could be better; it's a bit slow right now."
"Making it even more cost-effective could be explored."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 product’s pricing is reasonable compared to other tools in the market."
"The solution's cost could be better."
"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."
"There is an annual and a subscription option."
"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."
"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."
"This product is not costly when compared to other vendors."
"The pricing is a little high in China."
