Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Reviews

I mainly use this solution for our business employee side and our cloud infrastructure.

The monitoring tool and the migration from on-premise to the cloud should be much easier.

I've been working with Oracle Cloud Platform for three years.

The stability is all right.

This solution is scalable.

The initial setup was easy. It takes just a few minutes to create a virtual machine.

The pricing is reasonable.

I would rate Oracle Cloud Platform as seven out of ten.

The solution is easy to use. The user experience is very well set up. The product is easy to understand and navigate.

The deployment from on-premises to the cloud is a bit complicated.

I have been using the solution for two years.

I rate the stability a nine out of ten.

The scalability is unlimited. I rate the scalability a ten out of ten. About ten people in the organization use the product.

I rate the ease of initial setup a seven out of ten. As we go deeper into the solution, it becomes a little difficult, and we would need to refer to the documentation quite a bit. So, in the beginning, it's easy, but as we go deeper, it gets difficult.

The deployment takes about ten minutes. We need to give email and code details to have an account.

I rate the solution’s pricing an eight out of ten.

I am using the latest version of the product. The product is one of the biggest cloud supporters. If someone works with Oracle, it is definitely worth learning it. It is growing faster than other cloud supplies like Azure and AWS. Overall, I rate the product an eight out of ten.

I use the solution for integration, application development, content storage, and analytics. We also use it in data warehouses and data lakes.

The product is easy to use and deploy. It provides us with security.

The product roadmap strategy for some of the products is not clear. The solution’s API management is not as great as Azure.

I have been using the solution for seven years.

We have not faced any stability issues with the solution.

It is really easy to scale the product. We can add additional CPUs with ease. More than 4000 people in our organization use the product.

The support is fairly good. Our issues get resolved fairly within the appropriate time.

The initial setup is fairly easy.

Our employees and some contractors deployed the product in our organization. The deployment process depends on what service we want to deploy. The deployment takes a couple of minutes.

We see an ROI because of the solution's reusability.

The product is the backbone of integrating multi-cloud strategies. For the same task, the number of staff needed for Oracle is a little bit less than that for Azure. People planning to use the product must plan their process and ensure they have a good platform architect. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

We use the solution for EC2. It helps me to create around six servers for free to test out things. It also provides me with an authenticated cloud nameserver. We also use it as a wireguard endpoint. 

The tool should provide more options like other cloud services. Also, it should improve scalability with the free version. 

I have been working with the product for a year. 

The tool's stability is good. 

I would rate the solution's scalability a six out of ten since we have limitations to scale on the free version. I am the sole user of the tool. 

I have used the tool and I switched to Oracle Cloud since its free. 

The tool's deployment takes six months to complete. 

The solution is free to use. 

I would rate the product a seven out of ten since they don't provide much options. 

We use Oracle Cloud Platforms predominantly for ERP and some analytics. However, we also address beyond ERP where we integrate data from on-premise sources, such as custom applications or other PaaS solutions. We integrate the data, load it into the cloud autonomous from the data warehouse, then build analytics on top of it.

The most valuable features of the Oracle Cloud Platform are good visualization and analytics. The solution is very well integrated with predictive analytics and forecasting. These features go beyond the traditional reports and visualization.

The documentation quality is excellent and the UI is intuitive.

Oracle Cloud Platform can improve the integration with hybrid and cross-cloud deployments. It should be a flexible solution with a very well-defined integration with other applications in the hybrid environment. There are certain integrations that are not straightforward. 

The visualization could improve by providing what the other vendors have. However, in terms of customer requirements, whatever visualization Oracle Cloud Platform has will suffice.

I have been using the Oracle Cloud Platform for approximately seven years.

Oracle Cloud Platform is quite stable because it's not a brand new solution, and it's built on top of the traditional product of OBIE and ODIE. In this way it is stable. There will be a certain bug since it's a new cloud operation, but overall the solution is stable.

The scalability of the Oracle Cloud Platform is very good.

We have approximately 250 consultants using this solution in my organization.

The technical support from Oracle is good.

I have a vast experience of 23 years and I have used many solutions over the years. Oracle Cloud Platform may not be the best solution, but it's comparable to other solutions.

The initial setup of the Oracle Cloud Platform is very well documented. If you follow the processes in the documentation, there should not be any challenge. However, when you integrate with on-premise sources, you may face some challenges.

The maintenance staff we need depends on the projects. However, you don't need many PaaS solutions, such as this. In the maintenance of the application, you may need consultants, but for core application maintenance, you don't need any because it is managed by Oracle.

Oracle Cloud Platform has a decent pricing model.

Oracle Cloud Platform is a great solution. I would advise others to try it out, the features are quite comparable with all the competitors.

I rate Oracle Cloud Platform an eight out of ten.

This solution offers a cloud infrastructure for our customers. They are able to host their on-premises products for their users.

Oracle Cloud provides the latest infrastructure with good performance.

This solution is a Generation two data center, which is not offered by any other cloud provider.

This is a highly available and scalable solution that can host both modern and legacy on-premises applications.

One of the problems with this solution is that the person who procures it for the organization becomes a primary owner of the cloud infrastructure, despite not being a technical person. It is the IT people who will be doing the actual work, and Oracle is not able to map it. This is an operational hassle for customers and it has to be cleaned up.

Simple provisioning is fine, but when it comes to complex provisioning, Oracle Cloud is not quick compared to competing solutions.

Support from Oracle for this solution needs to improve.

Simplifying the cloud management console would be really valuable for small and large customers alike.

The next thing that needs to happen from Oracle is that they quickly expand data centers across different regions. This should happen at the very earliest time possible.

We are a consulting company and we provide solutions and services to end-customers. 

With Oracle Cloud, we create solutions that allow us to provide specific services.

We speak with technical support on a weekly basis. Sometimes, multiple times during the week. The support for this solution is good, but it has to improve because when you compare it to other providers, there is a lot of room for improvement. The quality of the support is good, but the turnaround time for responses is something that is an issue.

Oracle Cloud is a good solution, and better than its competitors, especially for enterprise-level clients. The SaaS application can be really customized using the PaaS with the Oracle Application Express model. The beauty of this is that you can put all of that into a single domain. You don't have to keep it separate. This is a real advantage and the kind of service that only Oracle can offer.

Because it is a generation two data center, everything can be done on a single domain which means that users do not have to pass through multiple domains or multiple hosts. It is a seamless interface for all of the applications.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten. 

We mainly use the solution for Oracle databases and BI purposes.

The product’s pricing should be reduced.

I have been using this solution for over five years.

I haven't experienced any instability or downtime in Oracle Cloud over the past three years.

It is scalable and suitable for large companies looking to upgrade.

I contacted their customer support when I encountered issues with my VM due to incorrect configuration of certain parameters. The support team was good.

Positive

We have not used any other solution besides Oracle Cloud.

The initial setup is straightforward to configure.

The solution is overpriced. I rate the pricing a nine out of ten with ten being expensive.

Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten with ten being the highest.

We use the solution to migrate the legacy infrastructure to the Oracle cloud.

I am impressed with the tool's upscaling and resiliency features.

The solution needs to improve the discovery and assessment of the existing infrastructure.

I have been working with the product for two to three years.

I would rate the tool's stability a ten out of ten.

I would rate the tool's scalability a ten out of ten.

We have dedicated premium support and it's good.

Positive

I would rate the solution's setup a seven out of ten. The tool's deployment takes around four to five hours to complete. Initial discovery and assessment should be conducted for the existing infrastructure. Post that you can conduct the migration activities.

I would rate the solution an eight out of ten. The tool is a leader in cloud technology and it is very professional. It has pretty good skills and knowledge in terms of providing support during the actual migration.
