The solution is stable.

Beneficial visualization, well integrated, and intuitive UI
Pros and Cons
  • "The most valuable features of the Oracle Cloud Platform are good visualization and analytics, and the solution is very well integrated with predictive analytics and forecasting, with features that go beyond the traditional reports and visualization."
  • "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."

What is our primary use case?

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.

What is most valuable?

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.

What needs improvement?

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.

For how long have I used the solution?

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

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

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.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The scalability of the Oracle Cloud Platform is very good.

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

How are customer service and support?

The technical support from Oracle is good.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

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.

How was the initial setup?

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.

What about the implementation team?

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.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Oracle Cloud Platform has a decent pricing model.

What other advice do I have?

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.

Easy to use and has a very valuable roadmap feature
Pros and Cons
  • "A good feature of the solution is the clear roadmap it provides specifically from Oracle to PC, there are good options to use OTP."
  • "Oracle products are easy to use."
  • "Since our Oracle products are on premise we cannot get the premier Oracle products."

What is our primary use case?

We use the solution to assist with project planning, cost, and build collector applications. 

Oracle has strong data centers, however, we use the fast approach with Oracle which includes the technical resources, email, and data center. 

What is most valuable?

Oracle products are easy to use. The Oracle Construction and Engineering flow is a good tool for cost control.

A good feature of the solution is the clear roadmap it provides specifically from Oracle to PC, there are good options to use OTP.

What needs improvement?

Since our Oracle products are on-premise we cannot get the premier Oracle products. Oracle releases new versions annually, but because of our license, we are using the previous version. With the solution on-premise, we can't access some applications that require access to their consulting teams.

Oracle Cloud Platform can improve their function overlap.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Oracle Cloud Platform for 17 years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Oracle Cloud Platform is stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution is scalable. Our organization operates in multiple locations, Oracle is good for this.

How are customer service and support?

Our license includes technical resources with Oracle. They maintain our application. With the help of Oracle, we perform user confirmation and other functional computer data centers.

I have contacted Oracle support for a few different issues. Overall, I would give them a three out of five. Most times when we contact Oracle, we request the development team, and they take longer than expected to resolve the concerns.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Neutral

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Oracle is a software accessory service that we have a user subscription for. For example, we require the project planning license, which is a user based license. 

Considering the license required, the country and the versions, we chose the prepaid option.

What other advice do I have?

I would rate this solution a ten of ten and would strongly recommend Oracle Cloud Platform. 

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

On-premises

The initial setup of OCI was simple. I have a lot of experience in Cloud, so it is easy for me.

It improves performance and addresses issues between the nodes of clusters for private IPs
Pros and Cons
  • "Oracle is valuable for improving performance and addressing issues between the nodes of clusters for private IPs. It provides a private connection between the client and the security cluster."
  • "Sometimes when we install something, we need to partition and maybe rebuild the index. This can cause some issues for performance. In the future, I would like to see more stability and fewer bugs."

What is our primary use case?

Our clients are the maritime projects in Arab countries. They have Oracle 12C and 19C plus Data Guard deployed. We use Oracle for backup and some simple administration tasks, like creating more space to extend or resize the files.

The main purpose is to improve performance and provide high availability for the projects. We install the Oracle cluster between the client and the Data Guard— from the cluster to the nodes and the primary database to the standby database, which is also three nodes.

What is most valuable?

Oracle is valuable for improving performance and addressing issues between the nodes of clusters for private IPs. It provides a private connection between the client and the security cluster.

What needs improvement?

Sometimes when we install something, we need to partition and maybe rebuild the index. This can cause some issues for performance. In the future, I would like to see more stability and fewer bugs.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using Oracle Cloud Platform since 2019.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Oracle Cloud Platform is stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Oracle Cloud platform is scalable. 

How are customer service and support?

Oracle Cloud Platform isn't complex to set up and administer. It takes about three or four days to install and configure empty clusters according to the user requirements.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

All of our projects have licensing costs. It's about half a million. 

What other advice do I have?

I rate Oracle Cloud Platform eight out of 10.
