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
We are using the solution to host our mission-critical applications.  The equipment that they are hosting the application on is much better than what we were previously using. Once we made the move to this solution, we received efficiencies, 100%, 200%, even up to 1000%, depending on some…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The technical support is good, they have been responsive and helpful."
"We have not had any downtime using the solution."
"I find the interface to be great."
"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."
"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 valuable feature of Oracle Cloud is the digital assistant."
"The deployment is most valuable feature."
"Just having the many options and features offered by the product through the cloud is a major benefit."
"The solution has encryption which we did not have before."
 

Cons

"Technical support does not offer the best service and should be improved."
"It could be more affordable."
"The solution does not follow a retention policy while taking ad hoc backups. Since it does not follow the retention policy, we had to do the manual task to check the backups."
"The initial setup can be made easier and the technical support team should give faster responses. Oracle can introduce the VPN service that can be directly connected to the machine and perform work directly on the server. This feature can help users."
"Nowadays, every SR is referred to Oracle Cloud Connect without a person actually handling the customer."
"Simplifying the cloud management console would be really valuable for small and large customers alike."
"The solution’s support could be improved."
"They offer some basic services but the choice is not as rich as other cloud providers."
"Our account representative was inexperienced, they could improve on how they are managing accounts."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The subscription is a pay-as-you-go model, with fees that are dependent on usage."
"The solution is overpriced."
"I compared Oracle Cloud Platform with other competitor providers like Azure, and I don't think Oracle is too expensive."
"The price is middling; it's not the most expensive product, but there is still some room for it to be more flexible."
"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."
"The license is a bit expensive for academic work."
"The costs involved are low when it comes to Oracle Cloud, especially when compared to AWS."
"The solution is a bit expensive, we are still negotiating the price."
