Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Reviews

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.

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. 

Our primary use case for the solution is hosting our servers in the cloud and subscribing to Oracle's database services.

The database and cloud computing are valuable.

The pricing of the solution can be improved.

We have been using the solution for four years and are currently using the latest version.

The solution is stable.

The solution is scalable, and it is in the public domain.

We have had a good experience with customer service and support. I rate them a nine out of ten.

Positive

The initial setup was conducted by Oracle Cloud Infrastructure technical team.

We implemented it through a vendor team.

We have seen a return on investment.

The licensing is a yearly subscription, and it could be more affordable.

OCI is primarily utilized by our company for our own internal solutions. However, we also offer it as a cloud service option to our customers as an alternative to traditional on-premises hosting. OCI is similar to other cloud service providers, such as Amazon AWS or Xero, and is mainly used for hosting solutions for our customers.

Our customers do not need to hire a whole data management team or buy new infrastructure. They can clean up what they need and then buy the services they need from OCI.

One improvement that would be helpful is the addition of a replication option on their Standard Edition OD service. Currently, this option is not available, which leads many customers to move to the Enterprise edition. However, other cloud service providers, such as Amazon AWS offer replication options at a similar tier. It would be beneficial if Oracle also explored providing this option for their Standard Edition service.

I have been using Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) for approximately one and a half years.

We have not had any downtime using the solution.

I rate the stability of OCI a ten out of ten.

There are 10 people in my company using this solution and they use it approximately three times a month.

The OCI enterprise version is highly scalable. There is no limit to the scaling available.

I rated the scalability of OCI an eight out of ten.

We have not contacted technical support, but we have account managers we talk to for sales and they're very responsive.

Positive

I have used Amazon AWS previously.

The main differences between OCI and other solutions in the same category are the price, which is lower, the selection of databases, and the services offered. When compared to Amazon AWS, which has a wider selection of databases and more services available, OCI hasn't reached the same level of power yet. Additionally, OCI typically only offers Intel or AMD processors, whereas other providers may offer other options like Graviton services.

Another advantage of OCI is its flexibility when it comes to sizing. With OCI, you can move from 1 to 4 vCPU, whereas with Amazon AWS, you need to double the size of the previous instance. Overall, OCI has a lower price, and more flexible sizing options, but offers fewer services than Amazon AWS.

OCI is easy to set up. If you have prior experience with any other cloud provider, the setup process for OCI is easily transferable. Additionally, there are plenty of resources available to assist with configuring it.

I rate the initial setup of OCI an eight out of ten.

OCI is the cost-effectiveness compared to other similar services, assuming all compliance regulations are met. Additionally, they offer a number of things free of charge, which is particularly beneficial for smaller clients.

They meet the standard and the price is low. They do have a few limitations, specifically with their Standard Oracle Databases, the Standard Edition.

I rate the price of OCI a nine out of ten.

I rate OCI an eight out of ten.

There are certain applications that are constantly running on Oracle Cloud which we use. There are certain sets of applications that run only during the last, and first week of the month.

The most valuable feature of Oracle Cloud is the digital assistant.

Oracle Cloud could improve AI. The design elements could be done better.

I have been using Oracle Cloud for approximately four years.

The solution is highly stable.

I rate the stability of Oracle Cloud a ten out of ten.

The scalability of Oracle Cloud is very good. It is highly scalable.

We have millions of exchanged conversations on the Oracle Cloud per month.

I rate the scalability of Oracle Cloud a ten out of ten.

I rate the support from Oracle Cloud a ten out of ten.

Positive

The initial setup of Oracle Cloud is simple.

Microsoft Azure and Amazon AWS have similar features and functionality to Oracle Cloud. They all have their enterprise versions.

I rate Oracle Cloud a nine 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.

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.

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.
