Has integrated protection with effective mitigation of DDoS attacks
The valuable features include its API Security, anti-bot protection, and web application firewall. It has greatly improved the security posture of my applications, web applications, and also effectively mitigates DDoS attacks. Before implementing the DDoS protection on F5 Volterra, there were about three successful DDoS incidents. Afterward, I did not experience a single incident for eight months.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The valuable features include its anti-PDUs, anti-bot protection, and web application firewall."
"It has greatly improved the security posture of my applications, web applications, and also effectively mitigates DDoS attacks."
"I like that the program is flexible. I can use it to write Java scripts. I also like the website, because it constantly updates me on things, like artificial intelligence, and the latest technology. I read the articles, on the latest technology that programmers can use."
"The most important features are the turnkey solutions offered by Oracle. These ease the administration of Oracle Databases."
"It's reliable, performs well, and is often faster than running applications on separate machines due to optimized performance and networking capabilities within OCI."
"The pricing isn't too bad."
"It is more secure and more controlled than an on-premises deployment."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring."
"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."
"It is a stable solution since it offers a very powerful performance to its users."
 

Cons

"The reporting needs improvement in Volterra. I do not have many options to create a customized report."
"Technical support could be more responsive."
"Oracle Cloud could improve AI. The design elements could be done better."
"More technical papers could be published to help out professionals."
"The marketplace could be improved very much."
"The AI capabilities and the power automate platform that Azure is offering seem to be way ahead of what Oracle is offering."
"What I'd like to see from Oracle Cloud is an option for the customer to have a single portal to manage and monitor not just Oracle Cloud, but some of the on-premise products in the hybrid scenario as well. If it can be shipped out as an out-of-the-box solution, that would be wonderful. It's not so easy, but for a company like Oracle, it shouldn't be a problem. Many customers go through a lot of effort and burn money to achieve this, so it's an opportunity for Oracle to provide it for customers looking for this type of solution."
"Oracle Cloud's price is very high."
"In a future release, they could improve by adding some form of machine learning and artificial intelligence."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The price of the solution should be reduced to a price that people can afford."
"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."
"The solution is free to use."
"Its pricing is complex, but as partners, we can get away with quite a bit of discounting because we deal with them directly. I would rate their pricing probably a one or two out of five because they're quite expensive. Microsoft Azure will probably be the cheapest because depending on the Microsoft product that you have, they have some sort of bundling. There are things that they give you to get you onto Azure. AWS is probably somewhere in the middle."
"Oracle offers universal credit and pay-as-you-go options."
"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 pricing is the best."
"I rate Oracle Cloud three to four out of ten on a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
