Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Reviews

I've primarily used it for experimentation. I don't just use it for commercial purposes. We already work with Azure and AWS clouds and we decided to consider the usage of Oracle as well. I run IA services, for example, when creating VMs and storage or configurations.

The IA services, including storage, creating VMs and databases have been great. The database services in particular are excellent.  

The initial setup was straightforward. 

The product is scalable.

The stability is good so far.

I don't have much detailed knowledge or experience in improvement areas. I need to first be more hands-on in my approach. I need more time to learn the technology, as I'm not as comfortable with it as I am with Azure and AWS.

Technical support could be a bit better.

Azure and AWS offerings are on a much bigger scale. Those who use this product must be Oracle-centric, which isn't the case with the other two. Whereas Oracle seems to be geared more towards databases only and Oracle only. 

The analytics need to be improved.

I've used the solution for a few use cases, however, not to its full potential. I've used it for maybe six months or so. It hasn't been that long. 

The stability so far has been good. I don't recall dealing with bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable. 

The scalability of the solution is very good. If a company needs to expand using it, it can do so.

We only have one customer on the product right now, however, a few customers are already planning to move their services to Oracle as well.

Technical support is good. they're okay. They could be a bit better, however, we're mostly happy with them.

I also work with Azure and AWS.

The initial setup is very straightforward. It's easy to execute. It's not overly difficult or complex. 

We are a customer, however, we do have clients on Oracle's cloud.

I'm not actively using the solution; I occasionally use it for certain projects. 

I'm using the IA service version.

I'd recommend the solution to other users and companies. 

I would rate the product at a seven 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.

Primarily, we're using the solution when we get data from our IoT devices. We get a lot of data from there. We're collecting it in the cloud, and providing the cloud to our ATI.

From a platform perspective, the most valuable aspect is the ATI management.

The powerhouse management is very good.

The interface should be more user-friendly. Compared to other cloud environments, it's not as good. It should be implemented better from Passport. It should have a better link to the cloud to communicate more effectively.

The solution should integrate better with other tools and different vendors.

I don't know of any additional features that I would like to see added to the solution.

I've been using the solution for about one year.

Frankly speaking, I've been very impressed with the stability the solution offers. Everything is working very well at the moment, and we haven't had any issues or faced any bugs or glitches.

We've been in contact with technical support. We didn't have the best experience.

The initial setup, as I recall, was straightforward.

It only took one day to deploy the solution.

We're partners with Oracle.

I'd recommend the solution.

I'd rate the solution seven out of ten. It's quite average, but effective. The infrastructure and formalizing of a custom platform need a bit of work.

Other solutions are better. Apache is also excellent.

The most valuable feature of Oracle Cloud is its autonomous database.

There are some missing services in Oracle Cloud. Managed services for Postgres are not available in Oracle Cloud. Even if you have to move to Oracle, you don't have a place to deploy applications.

We have been using Oracle Cloud for almost three months.

Oracle Cloud is a very, very stable solution.

Oracle Cloud is a scalable solution.

AWS and Azure have a wide range of services compared to Oracle Cloud is a very, very stable solution.

Oracle Cloud's initial setup was pretty straightforward.

An in-house senior technical team implemented the solution for our organization. Initially, it took around four weeks to deploy the solution, but later it was easy.

I rate Oracle Cloud three to four out of ten on a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive.

Many of our customers are choosing Microsoft Azure since it is more popular than Oracle Cloud in the manufacturing vertical that we are in.

Overall, I rate Oracle Cloud a seven out of ten.

I primarily use OCI for databases and platform-as-a-service.

OCI's best features are its price, databases, and Linux compatibility.

OCI's user interface is awful and needs to be modernized.

I've been using OCI for six years and version two for six months.

I haven't had a single issue with OCI's stability.

OCI's support is very good.

I would rate the setup process eight out of ten. Deployment took around half an hour.

OCI's pricing is one of its best features. However, customers may prefer a lower price, so from their perspective, I rate its price five out of ten.

I'd definitely recommend OCI to other users and would rate it eight out of ten.

We are a software-based company. We develop custom applications for our customers. We are currently customers of Oracle but working on forming a partnership with Oracle Cloud Singapore. I'm a cloud engineer.

Oracle Cloud offers more of the basic functionality needs than other cloud providers offer.

It would be an improvement if Oracle were to offer more PaaS services like those available in Azure. The technical support could also be improved. 

Although the response time is generally quite good, there are still areas for improvement. 

I think the initial setup is relatively straightforward, in line with the other cloud solutions. 

I think Oracle's license costs are relatively lower than those of Azure or AWS. I think the cost is reasonable. 

I have had more experience with Azure Cloud so I prefer it because of the familiarity aspect.  Once I get used to Oracle, I might prefer that solution. 

I rate the solution seven out of 10. 

We are using this solution for the Oracle Databases that we have.

It is more secure and more controlled than an on-premises deployment.

We use the Data Warehouse a lot.

They could add more features.

Technical support could improve, they could have more resources for troubleshooting.

I have been using Oracle Cloud for more than four years.

We are using the Generation 2 version.

It's a stable solution. We have not had any bugs or glitches.

The scalability is good. Our organization does not have users, rather, we are service providers. Our customers are the users and we have more than 100 of tem.

We have used technical support a couple of times. I would rate them a seven out of ten.

Previously, we were using another solution but decided that we wanted to move toward Oracle products.

The initial setup is straightforward.

The pricing is the best.

Oracle Cloud is the best option.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

We are both users as well as a company of consultants who do the implementations of the product for customers. In comparison to an on-premises solution, I am going to say that simply the ease-of-implementation and ease-of-usage are the primary uses for us. The options and ease of deploying the cloud product make opportunities for us to work in different ways with our customers.  

What is most valuable to me is a very general thing. It is just having the many options and features offered by the product. What I mean is features in terms of the accessibility of the internet, maybe some flexibility in supporting different capabilities and integrations. It is valuable to have that flexibility.  

To improve this product is hard because it is already good and convenient. But I think that Oracle can add even more functionality. There are just certain functionalities that still need improvement or some brushing up and maturity to bring them up to where they should be. Even more integration and user-friendliness is possible in certain ways.  

For example, at our company, we need to have some extra services right now to so we need to subscribe to them from another supplier. It would be nicer if these capabilities were already integrated as a part of the product. If some of these components could be built inside the cloud, that would simplify the architecture.  

I have been using Oracle cloud for between four to five years in some form.  

The stability for financials is okay. I work with it doing financials so that is what I know best. But other functionalities and practices we need to check out and test in the newer versions. I am not very aware of all the modules and all the broader possibilities. But for the financial, it is okay.  

Scalability still is a question mark in some forms that we have not had to test out. It should be scalable because it is on the cloud and that is one of the advantages.  

The Oracle technical support is okay. It is nothing great. It is the same way that it has always been now for the last 25 years. It has not changed with the onset of the cloud products. Oracle has been like that no matter whatever product of theirs they are supporting, the support you get from them is always the same.  

You are looking at a cloud SaaS product, so installation and maintenance are not required. It is maintained by the Oracle providers themselves. So, I mean it is easy to setup in the first place.  

Our deployment took somewhere between four to six months. When we work with clients, how long it takes depends on the customer needs and what kind of customers it is.  

We did not need to use a consultant for the deployment or integration. That is because I am the consultant.  

We have some form of a cloud solution in addition to our physical footprint. So we have a mix actually in our architecture. It is somewhat simple and maybe a little small, but it is all we need because we have a very small user base. We have plans to move everything entirely to the cloud.  

Because we do client support and consulting, we only require internal staff for support of these products.  

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

I do recommend the Oracle Cloud Platform. I recommend it for our use and we also do Oracle consulting. We use Oracle and we also recommend Oracle products.  

On a scale from one to ten where one is the worst and ten is the best, I would rate this product as eight and one-quarter. It is better than an eight, but not so close to nine.
