Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Reviews

We use Oracle Cloud Platform to move business applications, such as Oracle ERPs and Oracle Analytics, from on-premise infrastructure to the Oracle Cloud.

The portfolio should improve for the Oracle Cloud Platform. Oracle has to increase the services offered. New services should be added to be able to compete better with Amazon AWS which is the best, and the biggest service. Oracle Cloud Platform has a small portfolio, but it's a good one.

I have used the Oracle Cloud Platform for approximately four years.

We had our first major incident this week with the Oracle Cloud Platform. We have not had any other problem in the four years we have been using it. The stability and the availability that we found in Oracle Cloud Platform is really good, at least similar to what you can find in Amazon AWS or Microsoft Azure.

The technical support is good, they have been responsive and helpful.

I have used Amazon AWS and Microsoft Azure.

When migrating applications to the Oracle Cloud Platform it can take between two and four weeks depending on the project. During these four weeks, we do not only do the deployment, but it also involves a two-day infrastructure deployment, we move all the applications and run all the user testing scenarios. The full project with all the project traces normally lasts approximately four weeks but the infrastructure deployment takes a few days.

Oracle Cloud Platform architecture needs a system engineer for deployment and maintenance. Typically, the same team that is working on the on-premise architecture, with a little training can easily deploy it on the cloud.

The business applications will need someone with more specific skills.

Overall each project requires a different amount of supporting individuals.

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.

There are plenty of license options. For example, you can license the solution by the user, CPU, fixed period, and on-demand. The options are similar to Amazon AWS.

I rate Oracle Cloud Platform an eight out of ten.

We use Oracle Database, and it only runs on Oracle Cloud Platform. No other cloud vendors support it.  

I've been working with Oracle Cloud Platform for six months.

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is about as stable as the other CSPs, but Oracle Cloud is more common in Korea. 

Oracle Cloud installation is about the same as any other CSP—very straightforward.

I rate Oracle Cloud seven out of 10.  I say seven because I don't have much experience with Oracle Cloud.

We have an application and run this application on this Infrastructure element. That's our primary use case for this product.

The solution has improved our organization's implementation and running costs. It's saved us money already, in just a few short months.

We plan to use the solution to service our databases. 

The solution's availability is quite good.

The implementation costs are quite low. The pricing isn't too bad.

The solution needs to improve the creation process for server fonts and the usability and scripting methodology. There's a lot of room for improvement so far.

Technical support is pretty good, however, it could be improved upon.

The solution could always be less expensive. 

If the product could add HSM services to the infrastructure service, that could make it better.

We've been using the solution for about six months at this point. It hasn't been a year yet. It's still relatively new.

If we're just speaking about the database, it's a very stable solution. In terms of the cloud aspect, we are still at the very beginning. It's still quite new to us as a product. We will see when we have relevant experience with real operational statistics. Therefore, it's difficult to make a statement on stability in general. I don't have enough information.

We don't have the relevant experience yet to really discuss scalability. It's not something that we have attempted yet, with the product still being so new to us. We need more time to really figure that part out.

Technical support has been pretty good so far. I'd give them a rating of eight out of ten. We're mostly satisfied with the service they've provided. They are knowledgeable and responsive. That said, it could be slightly improved. 

While the installation was relatively easy, there is some complexity involved when you get into the scripting methodology. To create at least 10 or 40 databases with the same scripting is not really easy.

The deployment took around two or so weeks.

In terms of pricing, as far as I've heard from my colleagues and the management, it is an acceptable price. However, they would still be interested in a cheaper solution.

If they did attempt to evaluate another solution, at the time, I was not at the company. Since I have been around, they have only been interested in the Oracle solution.

We are a reseller partner.

In general, I would rate the solution at a seven out of ten. We're mostly happy with the solution, however, there are aspects that can be improved upon.

I would recommend this product to companies who are really familiar with the earlier version of Oracle databases.

Our customers have the licenses and we provide the development, implementation, and support.

We provide services to our clients.

The most valuable feature is that it offers several adaptors.

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

With the on-premises version, FTP, P2P, or any adaptors were directly configurable. Now, with the Cloud, we have to make some changes in the settings and configuration.

It is not scalable.

The support is average, they could be better.

I have 15 years of experience in IT. With Oracle Cloud, I have more than two years.

Oracle Cloud is stable.

It's not scalable.

I have contacted technical support. It's a field service and I get a quick resolution, but with some, they take their time. They are average.

I would recommend Oracle Cloud to anyone who is interested in using it, but there are some limitations.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

We are using Oracle Cloud for ERP lift and shift.

The most valuable feature is the monitoring.

The cloud tools that Oracle provides are useful.

The networking is in need of improvement.

The price of this solution can definitely be improved.

This service is very specific to Oracle and we cannot have other types of workloads on Oracle Cloud. We need to have a multi-cloud solution because for Oracle products we use Oracle Cloud, but for other products, we need to use other clouds. If the option to run other workloads were available, such as those by Microsoft, then this would be an added advantage to the Oracle footprint.

We have been using Oracle Cloud for two years.

This solution is good, in terms of stability.

The scalability is good. We have approximately 200 users for our ERP and we do plan to increase usage in the future.

The technical support is ok, although it should be refined and more proactive.

The initial setup was a straightforward network peering between two tenancies.

The pricing is a little bit expensive compared to other products. There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees.

My advice to anybody who is considering this solution is to consult with Oracle before implementing it. The architecture and the features need to be considered for suitability because it is not a fit for everyone. They have to go through a process of evaluating these things in advance.

I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.

Our primary use case of this solution is to do implementations on the cloud like Oracle Application, PeopleSoft, and E-Business Suite.

The deployment is the most valuable feature.

The stability of the solution is okay.

The users we have are from 100's to 1000's. It depends on the deployment. The implementation strategy depends on a case by case basis.

The setup was not very simple but not complex either.

I am not involved with the pricing model of the solution.

We primarily deliver the solution to a variety of companies, including those involved in automotive logistics.

The database is very good. It provides exact data.

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

We've experienced some technical issues that have delayed projects. Bugs seem to pop up in new releases.

Technical support does not offer the best service and should be improved.

We've been using the solution for two to three years.

The stability of the solution is okay, but on the technical side, there is some troubleshooting that is needed. There aren't many people that can help with this in our region. It might be a problem in the Middle East.

The solution is scalable.

We've been in contact with technical support. We're able to create and rank tickets and escalate them if necessary. We do have issues that pop up from time to time, and it seems to take a while to get results. I'd rate the service level we receive three out of ten.

The setup wasn't necessarily straightforward, and we're still working on deployment, which we plan to complete in the coming year. The finalization of the setup was delayed when we had a few issues.

The project was very large and we handled it with the help of the ATSI team.

We're constantly looking for other options. Our team keeps an eye out for other solutions that could, for example, save us money.

We run different applications on the Oracle Cloud platform and use the cloud deployment model.

We use the solution quite extensively on a daily basis.

Oracle is a good option for enterprise-level companies, but for small and medium-sized businesses, I'd recommend another option.

I'd rate the solution six out of ten.

I want to get OCA for Java, so I am using it for practice.

I like that the program is flexible. I can use it to write Java scripts. I also like the website because it constantly updates me on things, like artificial intelligence, and the latest technology. I read the articles, on the latest technology that programmers can use.

There's one app I have to install on my device, the Articulate Player app. It's only available on Apple and Android, but it's not available for Windows. I can't run the program on my desktop, to use it to learn Java. If I want to learn Java, I have to install the program, but I would like it if was available for desktops. I use my PC to learn most of the time.

The solution is very stable. If you are using it to build an application, it's stable.

Technical support is helpful. I don't really need them. It's simple to learn how to use it. 

It's very easy. I just accept to complete the install. Since it's an application, you just press install. The deployment didn't take long.

I implemented the solution myself.

I would give the solution a rating of 8 out of 10.

I would like it if maybe they could create a curriculum for Java, if they can integrate a curriculum for learning Java specifically, for the certification. The Oracle certification for Java. I'm using it to teach kids how to code.
