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 pricing isn't too bad."

"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."

"Apart from the licensing, there's support from Oracle Cloud Platform which improved our day to day operations. Time is reduced. Based on this service, we are able to scale up dependent applications as quickly as we can."

"Technical support is good. We are partners with Oracle so we are always speaking with them."

"The product gives you independence from hardware onsite, the setup is easy, and there is no need for hardware maintenance."

"Oracle does well when it comes to data privacy and security, which are critical."

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

"Overall, there are some very good features on Oracle and it offers good customization capabilities."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) pros

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

"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 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 solution offers the most robust Kubernetes orchestration available."

"The initial setup is easy."

Cons

"The tool should provide more options like other cloud services. Also, it should improve scalability with the free version."

"The biggest challenge I'm having with the cloud offering is the sizing. So, pricing becomes difficult. The sizing challenge is in terms of being very clear on how your data growth or your requirements would be. It becomes a bit difficult to be able to ensure that there's enough future proofing in what you've signed. At the same time, the whole idea behind the cloud is to be able to pay for what you use. You don't want to pay for something that you're not using."

"Specific to the Oracle Cloud; while they have been able to showcase inbuilt features for Oracle applications, what doesn't really come across clearly is what happens when you want to host, work with, or integrate with applications outside of the Oracle stack."

"Areas that need improvement are the pricing and the support."

"It should have other workloads from other suppliers running on the solution."

"Customer service could be improved."

"The configuration through the cloud is complicated. It's not straightforward."

"With Oracle you have to create your own roles and it is more complex."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) cons

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

"The installation and configuration procedure should be simplified."

"Technical support could be a bit better."

"The service mesh integrations could improve the solution."

"Making it even more cost-effective could be explored."

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

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"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."

"There is a subscription cost rather than licensing for this product."

"Make sure you read the fine print."

"Oracle Cloud's pricing is competitive. The tool changes its pricing when there is a change in its architecture."

"The solution is cheaper compared to Oracle E-Business Suite."

"Oracle Cloud Platform is a bit costly. You can always bring your own license or subscribe to the SaaS option, but the SaaS option is very costly. I rate the pricing a six out of ten."

"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

"The pricing is a little high in China."

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