Utilize auto-scaling and monitoring to efficiently manage application infrastructure
The key features of AWS Elastic Beanstalk include auto-scaling capabilities for applications experiencing traffic fluctuations, ensuring high availability and cost-effectiveness. AWS Elastic Beanstalk integrates with AWS CloudWatch to provide metrics like latency and CPU utilization, allowing easy monitoring of application performance. It supports multiple programming languages and frameworks, supports multi-environment for different stages of the application lifecycle, and is cost-effective as you pay based on the resources launched.

Cost-effectiveness and pricing consistency support diverse high-intensity applications
The services of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) are quite competent when compared to AWS Cloud, and they are also lower in cost. We use compute, storage, and network services. A notable feature is Oracle Cloud Infrastructure's consistent global pricing, which is advantageous. Furthermore, applications using Oracle Database not only work seamlessly on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) but also benefit from a 25% offset on Oracle Database licenses.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The simplicity in the speed of provisioning users is what I like best about Elastic Beanstalk."
"One of the most valuable aspects is that developers can access logs directly. They can download them from the AWS console within Elastic Beanstalk."
"I would rate the overall solution a ten out of ten."
"I find the versioning to be especially valuable on AWS Elastic Beanstalk."
"I highly recommend it to others and frequently discuss it with customers."
"Elastic Beanstalk simplifies deploying and managing applications."
"Elastic Beanstalk is helpful and easy to manage services, even when dealing with multiple clients."
"Elastic Beanstalk is very easy to use, providing infrastructure to deploy our third-party application to the cloud within 15 to 20 minutes."
"The scalability feature of the product is very impressive, especially considering the fact that the tool offers its users a pay-as-you-go model."
"Oracle Cloud has wonderful features and offerings as a service. It's not just a pure-play cloud product or SaaS application. It has a complete suite from infrastructure to platform as a service to software as a service, and this is what I find most valuable in Oracle Cloud. For infrastructure on the cloud or infrastructure as a service on the cloud, there's OCI (Oracle Cloud Infrastructure). Oracle Cloud is easily available. You just click it. I also found the feature of creating a landing zone valuable. Oracle Cloud is also very flexible as it lets you have a hybrid cloud model along with other cloud solutions. I also like that it offers good management on the cloud. Oracle Cloud is ready to use as a service, and that's wonderful because the time to market is very quick. I also like that Oracle Cloud offers high performance and high availability. A lot of people claim that there's high availability in their companies' cloud operations, but technically speaking, pure high availability in today's context is found in Oracle Cloud."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Cloud is its autonomous database."
"Apart from the licensing, there's support from Oracle Cloud Platform which improved our day to day operations. Time is reduced. Based on this service, we are able to scale up dependent applications as quickly as we can."
"I head the sales and marketing team. So, specifically on the feature set side, multi-tenancy is the one that I'm most familiar with. It's also the one that we found to be the most beneficial to us because it allows us to take clients that have multiple sites. For instance, one of our larger clients, which is a bank based out of South Africa, has offices in multiple countries. It allows us to multi-tenant each and create a tenant for each country within multi-tenanted architecture."
"We use Oracle Cloud to host the OIC (Oracle Integration Cloud Service) and APEX."
"Overall, there are some very good features on Oracle and it offers good customization capabilities."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) is Data Safe, which allows for the masking and encryption of personal identifiable information, ensuring data security."
 

Cons

"Elastic Beanstalk can enhance its customizability further, especially in terms of deployment options."
"Maybe the company could create more option packages, such as more bundles of configuration."
"Elastic Beanstalk is powerful, however, it could be enhanced in areas where it abstracts infrastructure management, sometimes limiting advanced users who want granular control over resources like EC2 instances, networking, or load balancers."
"Sometimes it is difficult to use for the first time. The automatic scaling functionality could use improvement."
"Elastic Beanstalk can enhance its customizability further, especially in terms of deployment options."
"The automatic scaling functionality could use improvement."
"There are areas for improvement in Elastic Beanstalk, especially in the management part. Tasks like creating load balancers and retiring versions require manual code updates, and URL changes can be time-consuming."
"AWS Elastic Beanstalk could improve its auto-scaling feature to better detect potential AI-based attacks or misuses that could lead to unexpected costs."
"I work with many clouds and I would say, in comparison, others have a better presentation of services and they have clearer steps in terms of implementation."
"The biggest challenge I'm having with the cloud offering is the sizing. So, pricing becomes difficult. The sizing challenge is in terms of being very clear on how your data growth or your requirements would be. It becomes a bit difficult to be able to ensure that there's enough future proofing in what you've signed. At the same time, the whole idea behind the cloud is to be able to pay for what you use. You don't want to pay for something that you're not using."
"I would like them to make it easier. The creation process is very long. There is a very long cookbook that we needed to build. It requires the DBA to build it well, and when you don't build it well it causes a lot of problems. We would like this process to be more automatic."
"With the Oracle Cloud Platform, they have to give first some proper documentation with a step-by-step process. Then the customer is able to use it properly. Nowadays, the Oracle Cloud Platform requires lots of floor work."
"The initial setup can be made easier and the technical support team should give faster responses. Oracle can introduce the VPN service that can be directly connected to the machine and perform work directly on the server. This feature can help users."
"The product’s pricing should be reduced."
"Technical support could be more responsive."
"Nowadays, every SR is referred to Oracle Cloud Connect without a person actually handling the customer."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Pricing needs to be improved."
"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."
"Oracle offers universal credit and pay-as-you-go options."
"Make sure you read the fine print."
"The price is fair, but we have to manage it to keep it low."
"It's not that expensive. I think it's maybe half or one-fourth of our actual on-prem cost, especially in Oracle Data Integrator. It's pretty cheap. Maybe around $30,000 or $40,000 per month."
"Oracle Cloud Platform's pricing is comparable to other solutions, but it is definitely not cheap."
"In Oracle Cloud Platform, one needs to make payments towards the subscription charges."
