Praveen Kumar P - PeerSpot reviewer
Cost-effective and can be used to host OIC and APEX
Earlier, when we created an SR (Service Request), it used to be personally addressed by a person till closure. Nowadays, users are routed to Oracle Cloud Connect, a MetaLink where you find your documents. We are not seeing much personal attention from Oracle on addressing issues. People come up with different experiences and knowledge levels. There is no human guidance, and users are routed to Oracle Cloud Connect. It is good for some people who know everything and can understand everything. However, our problem may not be exactly the same as the one given in Oracle Cloud Connect. Being routed to Oracle Cloud Connect is not a good experience with the customer. Earlier, an SR used to be personally handled by a person who used to explain and give all the information. We used to go through the information, understand it, have our questions addressed, and then close it. That's how it used to happen. Nowadays, every SR is referred to Oracle Cloud Connect without a person actually handling the customer.

Helpful support, useful UI console, and scales well
To ensure smooth provisioning, it is crucial to establish your requirements clearly from the outset. This is particularly important for projects where deployments can be easily facilitated through Terraform integration. By being precise about your initial requirements, you can save significant time and avoid delays. In our case, for instance, it took around six to seven months to complete the initial deployment due to unclear infrastructure needs. A substantial amount of time was spent understanding the existing architecture. Therefore, having a clear understanding of what is needed upfront and approaching the solution accordingly can be highly beneficial. I rate Red Hat OpenShift on IBM Cloud an eight out of ten. The solution does exactly what it says it does.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The product gives you independence from hardware onsite, the setup is easy, and there is no need for hardware maintenance."
"What I like most about Oracle Cloud Platform is the ease of getting data in and out of the cloud, and the affordable licensing."
"This is a highly available and scalable solution that can host both modern and legacy on-premises applications."
"The product's configuration is simple."
"The most valuable features are the manageability and the user interface."
"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."
"The product is scalable."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the Interface."
"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 initial setup is easy."
"The portability, moving from one platform to another, is easy."
"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 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 configuration through the cloud is complicated. It's not straightforward."
"The integration tools that they offer are quite complex to use."
"The product features related to the manufacturing domain must be improved."
"The solution needs to improve the discovery and assessment of the existing infrastructure."
"It could be improved on the user-friendly side."
"Portability of the VMware environment into the Oracle Cloud should be made more simple."
"I would like more technical expertise."
"The solution requires tighter integration capabilities."
"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."
"Making it even more cost-effective could be explored."
"The installation and configuration procedure should be simplified."
"The service mesh integrations could improve the solution."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"It is cheaper as a solution model. It isn’t cheaper than SAP but offers more features and competition."
"It's less expensive to operate your environment in the cloud than in-house. It's a bundle cost. Everything is included in one price."
"The best aspect of the Oracle Cloud Platform is the relation between the performance and the price. When you compare the price with Amazon AWS, Microsft Azure, or any other, the price for performance is the best."
"The solution's cost could be better."
"The cost may be a bit high for many potential users."
"The subscription cost is too high."
"Oracle Cloud is an expensive solution."
"This product is not costly when compared to other vendors."
"The pricing is a little high in China."
