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.

SAP Consultant at SA&BC
Offers flexibility and better accessibility to users
The security part of the tool is not so strong, making it an area I would like to see improved in the solution. When working with a cloud tool, it's never 100 percent secure and it is always something to take into account. I would like to be more comfortable working with it and feeling safer. In the future, the tool can be made faster. In the future, I would like to see maybe some AI features in the tool to help automate stuff. You need to be able to create your own models to help create some automated actions.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is a stable solution...Since it is a cloud solution, I can say it is a scalable product."
"The most valuable feature is the reporting service."
"If you need an environment with scalability and trust for your services, OCI, you won't need to worry."
"The performance and processing capability are excellent."
"It's a cloud, so it is easy to access anywhere."
"The strength of this product is that they have many good database options, compared to other vendors."
"We have seen a return on investment."
"The IA services, including storage, creating VMs and databases have been great."
"The ability to manage security and access the server from any location with complete security using SSH is perfect for performing crucial tasks, even while travelling."
"Fast, rapid and agile development and deployment of an ADF application (within Proof-of-Concept project) involves four developers in a distributed team (across two different time-zones) and through this they are able to cooperate quickly, without the usual problems of dev/test environment deployments."
"The auto-backup, incremental backup and restoration features can be invaluable for management."
"It is pretty easy to use."
"It's a very low-cost option for a business to start with."
"The product is very good, fine-tuned, and stable, and support is available 24/7 and is really fast and effective."
"Cloud has provided less maintenance."
"Reduces man-hours and speeds up business operations."
 

Cons

"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."
"The marketplace could be improved very much."
"The scalability requires some improvement. This is one of the most important things they need to get better at."
"The integration tools that they offer are quite complex to use."
"It could be more affordable."
"Amazon AWS has a better solution overall."
"One improvement that would be helpful is the addition of a replication option on their Standard Edition OD service. Currently, this option is not available, which leads many customers to move to the Enterprise edition. However, other cloud service providers, such as Amazon AWS offer replication options at a similar tier. It would be beneficial if Oracle also explored providing this option for their Standard Edition service."
"Oracle support could be better; we had cases where certain regions experienced specific issues and received little help from Oracle."
"I think there should be improvement with the speed and it should offer a more diverse selection of the suites that I can use."
"It needs to have the ability to create a service with the same name as another one when the initial creation failed as sometimes it's necessary to have a service with exact name."
"Integration with Oracle products is well-supported. The same should be provided for other products that are used in most organizations, like PeopleSoft, CA, etc."
"Customer service could be improved."
"I would like to see more monitors for standard edition"
"The product's high price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The security part of the tool is not so strong, making it an area I would like to see improved in the solution."
"The product is satisfactory but we need more training on managing the machine itself."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I compared Oracle Cloud Platform with other competitor providers like Azure, and I don't think Oracle is too expensive."
"The solution is expensive according to services and competition. Also, it is not prevalent in the market. I rate the solution’s pricing a seven on a scale of ten, where ten is expensive, and one is cheap."
"The solution is cheaper compared to Oracle E-Business Suite."
"The solution's cost could be better."
"It is cheaper as a solution model. It isn’t cheaper than SAP but offers more features and competition."
"The product’s pricing is reasonable compared to other tools in the market."
"The license is a bit expensive for academic work."
"We pay the subscription cost."
"Oracle is a little more expensive right now, but not much compared to SAP. Oracle's prices are very much dependent on the scale of the project and how many users are there."
"Oracle Java Cloud Service is an expensive product."
"It is somewhat expensive."
