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

"Elastic Beanstalk simplifies deploying and managing applications."
"The feature I like most about Elastic Beanstalk is the way I do not have to do anything, just deploy my app."
"Elastic Beanstalk is very easy to use, providing infrastructure to deploy our third-party application to the cloud within 15 to 20 minutes."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of Elastic Beanstalk is its ease of use and management."
"The management of environments is a valuable feature."
"The simplicity in the speed of provisioning users is what I like best about Elastic Beanstalk."
"The product enables users to create their own reports."
"What I like best about Oracle Cloud is that it is an all-in-one system for everything."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is a cloud-based solution."
"The product helps us to use it as a central ERP and HCM."
"We use Oracle Cloud to host the OIC (Oracle Integration Cloud Service) and APEX."
"The initial setup was easy. It takes just a few minutes to create a virtual machine."
"I haven't experienced any instability or downtime in Oracle Cloud over the past three years. It is scalable The support team was good. The initial setup is straightforward to configure. I rate the solution a nine out of ten with ten being the highest."
"We are not using any features offered by OCI but only using virtual machines. So our data only syncs from our On-premises to cloud. The compute and performance are better than other cloud solutions."
 

Cons

"Maybe the company could create more option packages, such as more bundles of configuration."
"AWS Elastic Beanstalk could improve its auto-scaling feature to better detect potential AI-based attacks or misuses that could lead to unexpected costs."
"One area where AWS Elastic Beanstalk struggles is with the complexity of deployments."
"The documentation needs to be clearer, particularly relating to editing JSON files before uploading applications."
"From what I've observed, it seems AWS has ceased further development on Elastic Beanstalk."
"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."
"Elastic Beanstalk can enhance its customizability further, especially in terms of deployment options."
"Logs and debugging can sometimes be cumbersome, and there could be a more seamless method to analyze application issues without relying heavily on CloudWatch, which would improve my experience."
"With Oracle you have to create your own roles and it is more complex."
"The Oracle Cloud platform remains complex, and despite the abundance of resources available, significant challenges can still arise during the migration process from a legacy or on-premise system. Conversely, smaller companies with less complicated systems, such as those with a two million budget, can migrate more easily."
"Though Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) has robust features, improvements could be made to its authentication and identity access management, specifically in making them more seamless without using fingerprints for authentication."
"They could add more features."
"The pricing is a bit expensive."
"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 monitoring tool and the migration from on-premise to the cloud should be much easier."
"The tool should provide more options like other cloud services. Also, it should improve scalability with the free version."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The best aspect of the Oracle Cloud Platform is the relation between the performance and the price. When you compare the price with Amazon AWS, Microsft Azure, or any other, the price for performance is the best."
"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."
"Pricing needs to be improved."
"On a monthly basis, we pay around $2,500 for licensing fees, with no additional costs. We do pay extra licensing for other on-premises solutions, but these are not related to Oracle Cloud Platform."
"There is a subscription cost rather than licensing for this product."
"The pricing is a little bit expensive compared to other products."
"The solution is expensive. I would rate the pricing as ten out of ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"Oracle Cloud's pricing is competitive. The tool changes its pricing when there is a change in its architecture."
