IT Security Senior Manager at a educational organization with 1,001-5,000 employees
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.

Cons

"Even though the price was not bad for our purposes, I think Oracle should open up their software service more to customers by bringing the pricing down for the product."

"Oracle Cloud could improve AI. The design elements could be done better."
"It takes more time to release resources than one of its competitors."
"The Oracle technical support is okay; it is nothing great and has not changed with the onset of the cloud products."
