Featured Reviews

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.

Improves efficiencies, has encryption, and great mission-critical customer support
Previously we had an amateur solution where we were managing on our own data center but we had the management in-house. It was a strategic move to give people who were more competent and with business focus other core initiatives. It was a strategic outsource model. The equipment we were using was out date and at the end of its life cycle, we had to make some transitions, do a hardware replacement, or move on. We moved on to this solution.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"In terms of features, upgradeability to the latest version of Oracle suites has been a good feature. All we have to do is just patching or an upgrade, it's pretty easy. Then, it gets regularly updated. That's what I like about it."
"What I like best about Oracle Cloud is that it is an all-in-one system for everything."
"The key feature of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is its seamless integration with Oracle applications."
"The environment is super fast so you get all the underlying machines behind the data. It's a good processing machine, especially in the Generation Two Cloud."
"Oracle does well when it comes to data privacy and security, which are critical."
"I am impressed with the tool's upscaling and resiliency features."
"It has improved my company by cutting my time to market."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring."
"The solution has encryption which we did not have before."
 

Cons

"There is room for improvement for stability."
"Oracle Cloud's price is very high."
"I would like more technical expertise."
"Database instances and computer storage are areas with shortcomings in the product that need improvement."
"Oracle Cloud's support could be improved because its second-line support has weak engineers who handle stuff a little bit slowly."
"The product’s pricing should be reduced."
"The pricing is a bit expensive."
"The solution needs improvement in support, performance, and features."
"Our account representative was inexperienced, they could improve on how they are managing accounts."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The solution is cheaper compared to Oracle E-Business Suite."
"The subscription cost is too high."
"It's not that expensive. I think it's maybe half or one-fourth of our actual on-prem cost, especially in Oracle Data Integrator. It's pretty cheap. Maybe around $30,000 or $40,000 per month."
"Oracle Cloud's pricing is competitive. The tool changes its pricing when there is a change in its architecture."
"There is a subscription cost rather than licensing for this product."
"Oracle Cloud Platform has a decent pricing model."
"Oracle Cloud Platform's pricing is comparable to other solutions, but it is definitely not cheap."
"The solution is a bit expensive, we are still negotiating the price."
