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

"Oracle is a very useful tool in terms of usability and customization."
"It has good scalability."
"We have not had any downtime using the solution."
"The deployment is most valuable feature."
"The most valuable features are the manageability and the user interface."
"The initial setup of Oracle Cloud is simple...It is a scalable solution."
"They seem to be more readily integrating with Azure, which is great."
"It's very easy to use it. It's very hard to configure, but it's very easy to use."
"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."
"The solution offers the most robust Kubernetes orchestration available."
"The deployment mechanism has become more dynamic with the use of the product."
"The portability, moving from one platform to another, is easy."
"I've used the elasticity and scalability all over."
"The stability of the solution is good."
"The initial setup is easy."
 

Cons

"The portfolio should improve for the Oracle Cloud Platform. Oracle has to increase the services offered. New services should be added to be able to compete better with Amazon AWS which is the best, and the biggest service. Oracle Cloud Platform has a small portfolio, but it's a good one."
"The product roadmap strategy for some of the products is not clear."
"Technical support for this solution is average. I contacted them last week and just received a message from them today."
"I work with many clouds and I would say, in comparison, others have a better presentation of services and they have clearer steps in terms of implementation."
"Sometimes when we install something, we need to partition and maybe rebuild the index. This can cause some issues for performance. In the future, I would like to see more stability and fewer bugs."
"The marketplace could be improved very much."
"It could be more affordable."
"I would like more technical expertise."
"Many of the managed services are not accessible."
"The installation and configuration procedure should be simplified."
"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."
"The general purpose solution tries to cater to too many customers so it is heavy."
"The performance could be better; it's a bit slow right now."
"Making it even more cost-effective could be explored."
"Technical support could be a bit better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive according to services and competition. Also, it is not prevalent in the market. I rate the solution’s pricing a seven on a scale of ten, where ten is expensive, and one is cheap."
"The pricing is the best."
"We pay the subscription cost."
"I compared Oracle Cloud Platform with other competitor providers like Azure, and I don't think Oracle is too expensive."
"Oracle Cloud Platform has a decent pricing model."
"It is cheaper as a solution model. It isn’t cheaper than SAP but offers more features and competition."
"Oracle offers universal credit and pay-as-you-go options."
"Make sure you read the fine print."
"The pricing is a little high in China."
"This product is not costly when compared to other vendors."
