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.

Offers low-code/no-code concept makes development much easier and faster and offers good community support as the development team actively answers questions on the community every day

There are very minor things, like the feature called "action chains," that could use a bit of enhancement. But the team is perfect; they're working on it. An action chain is a sequence of actions triggered by a button or an event. It executes code in order, from top to bottom. For example, it could call a code, call a REST service, and then insert data into a database. It needs enhancement because it can be a bit complex for fresh grads or new developers to understand. It would be better if it was made more readable. That's the main point. But if you have experience, you'll understand it easily. One more thing I want to add about Visual Builder: up until two years ago, it supported native mobile development. That's not available anymore. They replaced native mobile development with progressive web apps, and most customers are complaining about that. We need native mobile development back – the ability to put apps on stores like Google Play or the App Store. That feature is not available right now, and they deprecated it starting in 2024. It's very important. Otherwise, clients go with Flutter or other mobile development tools. It would be good for Oracle to regain that capability. We need the native mobile development feature back.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features of the solution are APEX, Threat Detector, and Cloud Guard."

"In terms of features, upgradeability to the latest version of Oracle suites has been a good feature. All we have to do is just patching or an upgrade, it's pretty easy. Then, it gets regularly updated. That's what I like about it."

"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 more secure and more controlled than an on-premises deployment."

"I am impressed with the tool's upscaling and resiliency features."

"The strength of this product is that they have many good database options, compared to other vendors."

"The deployment is most valuable feature."

"Overall, I would say that Oracle Cloud provides support with zero down time and the high probability is very good."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) pros

"The initial setup is easy."

"The action chains are really helpful, and the trigger event, along with those action chains, has been very helpful."

"You don't need a dedicated IDE to develop. You can work from any browser, which is very convenient. And, with the cloud concept, your code is stored in the cloud, so you can modify it from anywhere, at any time."

"VBS is another tool that allows users to create enterprise applications without needing to store their projects in traditional databases like SQL."

"The most valuable feature was the visual drag and drop on the components."

"The tool is very easy to use."

Cons

"The framework from AWS is so good, I would like to see this feature in OCI."

"The functionalities could be simplified as it is a bit difficult to learn."

"The main issue for the clients is that they need to understand the credit payments because if it's a currency that's not dollars or euros, Oracle will always convert it into credits and that's not easy for the customer to understand at the beginning."

"However, currently, some of its products are not as feature user-friendly as those of AWS."

"OCI's user interface is awful and needs to be modernized."

"There should be more management automation."

"The solution isn't very mature. The on-premises deployment has more features and the cloud needs to work to match those options."

"The price of the subscription is too high and excludes some potential customers."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) cons

"There was an attempt to enable front-end development, it did what it intended to do, but the side effects were too bad."

"The feature called "action chains" could use a bit of enhancement."

"The tool has minor bugs."

"The initial setup of Oracle VBCS can be challenging for those unfamiliar with DBS."

"There are some bugs in VBCS."

"I would improve the license structure as, for some companies, it may seem a little bit expensive, depending on what they're doing."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is reasonable."

"Costing depends on if you have an existing license for the application and for the operating system."

"In Oracle Cloud Platform, one needs to make payments towards the subscription charges."

"OCI is the cost-effectiveness compared to other similar services, assuming all compliance regulations are met. Additionally, they offer a number of things free of charge, which is particularly beneficial for smaller clients."

"There is a subscription cost rather than licensing for this product."

"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."

"The pricing is a little bit expensive compared to other products."

"The subscription is a pay-as-you-go model, with fees that are dependent on usage."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) pricing and cost advice

"Oracle Visual Builder Cloud Service is much too expensive."

"It's not expensive when you consider what it provides: low-code/no-code development, faster development time, good quality, and good stability."
