We use Harbor for Docker containers to build from our GitLab CI/CD pipeline. This pipeline then automatically pushes to our Harbor instance. We are still working on storing Helm charts in the Harbor instance as well Harbor has improved our organization's security and stability in our container…

Cost-effectiveness and pricing consistency support diverse high-intensity applications
The services of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) are quite competent when compared to AWS ( /products/amazon-aws-reviews ) 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 ( /products/oracle-database-reviews ) not only work seamlessly on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) but also benefit from a 25% offset on Oracle Database licenses.

Cons

"The framework from AWS is so good, I would like to see this feature in OCI."
"It takes more time to release resources than one of its competitors."
"Some of the features of this solution, such as the digital assistant, require extensive configuration before they are suitable for use. We would like these to be made more straightforward and to require less manual input."
"However, currently, some of its products are not as feature user-friendly as those of AWS."
"Nowadays, every SR is referred to Oracle Cloud Connect without a person actually handling the customer."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost of the product is free."
"Oracle Cloud Platform has a decent pricing model."
"Oracle offers universal credit and pay-as-you-go options."
"The solution is expensive. I would rate the pricing as ten out of ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"The subscription cost is too high."
"I would rate the tool’s pricing a ten out of ten since it is expensive."
"Oracle Cloud's pricing is competitive. The tool changes its pricing when there is a change in its architecture."
"We pay the subscription cost."
"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."
