Cost-effectiveness and pricing consistency support diverse high-intensity applications
The services of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) are quite competent when compared to AWS Cloud, and they are also lower in cost. We use compute, storage, and network services. A notable feature is Oracle Cloud Infrastructure's consistent global pricing, which is advantageous. Furthermore, applications using Oracle Database not only work seamlessly on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) but also benefit from a 25% offset on Oracle Database licenses.
Adrian Bilauca - PeerSpot reviewer
Chief Software Engineer at Totalsoft
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

"It has improved my company by cutting my time to market."
"The security on the solution is very good."
"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 most important features are the turnkey solutions offered by Oracle. These ease the administration of Oracle Databases."
"The scalability feature of the product is very impressive, especially considering the fact that the tool offers its users a pay-as-you-go model."
"The performance and processing capability are excellent."
"Oracle Cloud Platform is a good solution because with large data platforms the data migration can be a challenge and this is the reason to move and migrate towards the cloud from on-premises."
"The object storage and managed backup solution are valuable."
"The deployment mechanism has become more dynamic with the use of the product."
"The solution offers the most robust Kubernetes orchestration available."
"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."
"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 initial setup is easy."
"The portability, moving from one platform to another, is easy."
"I've used the elasticity and scalability all over."
 

Cons

"The integration tools that they offer are quite complex to use."
"The product roadmap strategy for some of the products is not clear."
"Oracle support could be better; we had cases where certain regions experienced specific issues and received little help from Oracle."
"The product could use some more development and maturity so it has more peripheral functionality already integrated."
"The solution should integrate better with other tools and different vendors."
"The initial setup can be a bit complex."
"The monitoring tool and the migration from on-premise to the cloud should be much easier."
"In a future release, they could improve by adding some form of machine learning and artificial intelligence."
"Making it even more cost-effective could be explored."
"The general purpose solution tries to cater to too many customers so it is heavy."
"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."
"The service mesh integrations could improve the solution."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in cluster-based queue monitoring and autoscaling."
"Technical support could be a bit better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The subscription is a pay-as-you-go model, with fees that are dependent on usage."
"There is an annual and a subscription option."
"I compared Oracle Cloud Platform with other competitor providers like Azure, and I don't think Oracle is too expensive."
"The licenses for this solution are very comprehensive and, therefore, very economical; there is only one cost, and it covers all available features without any chargeable add-ons."
"Costing depends on if you have an existing license for the application and for the operating system."
"It's very expensive compared to AWS."
"The solution is expensive. I would rate the pricing as ten out of ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"The costs involved are low when it comes to Oracle Cloud, especially when compared to AWS."
"The pricing is a little high in China."
"This product is not costly when compared to other vendors."
