Senior Oracle DBA at a financial services firm with 11-50 employees
Hybrid cloud has supported payment services and provides reliable networked virtual machines
There are no restrictions about usage of these virtual machines because Linux machines are used, and everything needed is installed on our own responsibility, as all applications are developed by vendors who produce them for us. This is why there are no restrictions felt in usage of cloud services. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) offers good services, though the price could be lower than it currently is. AI and machine learning features of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) have not been used in production, as research is being conducted in this area. Services provided to customers are very well tested, and untested services are not offered to customers. Currently, research is being conducted on the usage of AI offerings through Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) or other vendors of AI tools.

SAP Consultant at SA&BC
Offers flexibility and better accessibility to users
The security part of the tool is not so strong, making it an area I would like to see improved in the solution. When working with a cloud tool, it's never 100 percent secure and it is always something to take into account. I would like to be more comfortable working with it and feeling safer. In the future, the tool can be made faster. In the future, I would like to see maybe some AI features in the tool to help automate stuff. You need to be able to create your own models to help create some automated actions.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Overall, there are some very good features on Oracle and it offers good customization capabilities."
"The most important features are the turnkey solutions offered by Oracle. These ease the administration of Oracle Databases."
"The key feature of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is its seamless integration with Oracle applications."
"When compared with other products, this product is very good because it's easy to move from primary to secondary sites. With other products, you need to build everything from the base. With Oracle Data Cloud, you can move from the primary to the secondary and return back to the primary by a very simple command, and you never lose data."
"Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is about as stable as the other CSPs, but Oracle Cloud is more common in Korea."
"I like the solution’s stability, performance, and fault alerts."
"The product helps us to use it as a central ERP and HCM."
"It's a cloud, so it is easy to access anywhere."
"Reduces man-hours and speeds up business operations."
"It offers easy provisioning, and we were able to get a server up and running in an hour."
"Backing up and recovery for my domain is very easy and fast. In addition, applying patches and undoing applied patches is effective and easy to do."
"The most valuable feature of the product is being able to test on multiple platforms for Oracle, for VMware, and so on."
"It's a very low-cost option for a business to start with."
"One key feature is getting to choose the Virtual Machine configurations while setting up the server, which is an automated process."
"Developers deploy their builds and if we need to scale the environment we can do it quickly."
"The ability to manage security and access the server from any location with complete security using SSH is perfect for performing crucial tasks, even while travelling."
 

Cons

"I think that there could be a more user-friendly environment when it comes to the options that Oracle presents through the Oracle Cloud Platform."
"The deployment from on-premises to the cloud is a bit complicated."
"The initial setup can be a bit complex."
"Nowadays, every SR is referred to Oracle Cloud Connect without a person actually handling the customer."
"Simple provisioning is fine, but when it comes to complex provisioning, Oracle Cloud is not quick compared to competing solutions."
"The biggest challenge I'm having with the cloud offering is the sizing. So, pricing becomes difficult."
"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."
"Oracle Cloud's support could be improved because its second-line support has weak engineers who handle stuff a little bit slowly."
"I would like to see more monitors for standard edition"
"Integration with Oracle products is well-supported. The same should be provided for other products that are used in most organizations, like PeopleSoft, CA, etc."
"So far, the only issue I have is with the storage cloud."
"The product is satisfactory but we need more training on managing the machine itself."
"The product's high price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"There are issues with the application's development, including small glitches and errors."
"Needs better integration with other Oracle/non-Oracle products."
"Some of the automated platform patches broke our existing functionality and we were not notified about it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licenses for this solution are very comprehensive and, therefore, very economical; there is only one cost, and it covers all available features without any chargeable add-ons."
"It's less expensive to operate your environment in the cloud than in-house. It's a bundle cost. Everything is included in one price."
"Oracle Cloud is an expensive solution."
"The solution is expensive. I would rate the pricing as ten out of ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"The price for Oracle Cloud may seem expensive, but if you start comparing features and what Oracle offers, you'll realize that the pricing for Oracle Cloud is competitive. If you consider every aspect of Oracle Cloud, you'll see that its price tag is reasonable because it has a good user interface, user experience, and management. Oracle Cloud is a sophisticated infrastructure and the level of management it allows you to enjoy isn't available in other solutions, so I wouldn't worry about needing to invest huge money into it because it's a wonderful product to use."
"The solution is free to use."
"Pricing needs to be improved."
"The product offers a subscription-based licensing model."
"Oracle is a little more expensive right now, but not much compared to SAP. Oracle's prices are very much dependent on the scale of the project and how many users are there."
"Oracle Java Cloud Service is an expensive product."
"It is somewhat expensive."
