Cloud platform has supported cost control and database integration but still needs better metrics and storage

I have not used Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI)'s networking solutions today. I studied it somewhat, but it is not my main area currently. We had some problems sometimes with Autonomous Database in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), for example, in the past months related to the asset of the metrics. We found problems related to what we wanted to show to the customer about the database because many metrics were missing. We usually worked together with members of Oracle Italia to ask them to introduce some metrics, for example, those that do not work correctly about CPU usage, memory usage, or network usage. There were some metrics in Oracle Autonomous Database in dedicated infrastructure that did not allow us to show correct information to the customer. We usually needed to ask Oracle Italia to introduce some metrics or clarify metric usage. In some cases, they showed incorrect data in the output, so we had to work with them to solve this problem. I am speaking about problems from approximately one year ago, so I do not know if they have fixed all of it now. One problem I faced in the past with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) was also related to documentation. Sometimes there are differences between Oracle Autonomous Database usage on shared infrastructures compared to dedicated infrastructures. When searching for documentation, it is not clear if one aspect or solution is usable in both technologies or on both shared and dedicated infrastructures. I found some documents proposed for Autonomous Database and then discovered that the case was applicable only for shared infrastructure, not dedicated. Oracle Italia explained to me that Oracle Autonomous Database on shared and dedicated are different products. However, I do not understand why if I have the same version of Oracle in both architectures, I cannot have access to some tools or internal packages in both technologies. We usually had to ask them to introduce also in dedicated infrastructures the use of some Oracle PL/SQL packages, some internal packages, for example, for the management of queues. Another aspect is that the storage of Oracle is not very user-friendly. In Autonomous, for example, where I think an autonomous database should manage storage correctly on its own, my experience is that often we have many allocated storage spaces that are free, but it is impossible to reclaim. We need to expand storage and pay for it, even though it is free. I think that regarding the internal management of storage, Oracle can improve.

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

"Overall, I would say that Oracle Cloud provides support with zero down time and the high probability is very good."

"The product is scalable."

"Oracle Cloud has wonderful features and offerings as a service. It's not just a pure-play cloud product or SaaS application. It has a complete suite from infrastructure to platform as a service to software as a service, and this is what I find most valuable in Oracle Cloud. For infrastructure on the cloud or infrastructure as a service on the cloud, there's OCI (Oracle Cloud Infrastructure). Oracle Cloud is easily available. You just click it. I also found the feature of creating a landing zone valuable. Oracle Cloud is also very flexible as it lets you have a hybrid cloud model along with other cloud solutions. I also like that it offers good management on the cloud. Oracle Cloud is ready to use as a service, and that's wonderful because the time to market is very quick. I also like that Oracle Cloud offers high performance and high availability. A lot of people claim that there's high availability in their companies' cloud operations, but technically speaking, pure high availability in today's context is found in Oracle Cloud."

"It is a stable solution since it offers a very powerful performance to its users."

"Our use case is for a variety of purposes; we use it for our billing system, our operations support system, our analytic data warehousing, digitalization, customer service, marketing, and sales, so it is integral to our operations."

"I find the interface to be great."

"The main benefit is that you're getting all of the resources you require on a subscription basis, so you get to pay as you go instead of having to have a CAPEX, and you convert your CAPEX to OPEX to cover the data center cost."

"The most valuable feature of this solution is the high level of performance for the databases."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) pros

"The deployment mechanism has become more dynamic with the use of the product."

"I've used the elasticity and scalability all over."

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

"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."

"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 portability, moving from one platform to another, 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 initial setup is easy."

Cons

"There is room for improvement for stability."

"Technical support could be a bit better."

"The customization and the requests put through were not flexible enough."

"The solution needs to improve the discovery and assessment of the existing infrastructure."

"The pricing model of Oracle Cloud Platform is an area of concern."

"The monitoring tool and the migration from on-premise to the cloud should be much easier."

"Oracle support could be better; we had cases where certain regions experienced specific issues and received little help from Oracle."

"It isn't easy to get qualified people who know how to work on this tool."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) cons

"The general purpose solution tries to cater to too many customers so it is heavy."

"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."

"The service mesh integrations could improve the solution."

"There is room for improvement in cluster-based queue monitoring and autoscaling."

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

"The installation and configuration procedure should be simplified."

"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 is cheaper as a solution model. It isn’t cheaper than SAP but offers more features and competition."

"The subscription is a pay-as-you-go model, with fees that are dependent on usage."

"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 solution is expensive. I would rate the pricing as ten out of ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."

"The pricing is reasonable."

"Pricing needs to be improved."

"Its pricing is complex, but as partners, we can get away with quite a bit of discounting because we deal with them directly. I would rate their pricing probably a one or two out of five because they're quite expensive. Microsoft Azure will probably be the cheapest because depending on the Microsoft product that you have, they have some sort of bundling. There are things that they give you to get you onto Azure. AWS is probably somewhere in the middle."

"We pay the subscription cost."

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

"The pricing is a little high in China."
