Featured Reviews

reviewer2349654 - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Real-time behavior insights have transformed support automation and boosted conversion rates
Several aspects and features require improvement. I believe an easier setup and faster onboarding is required because Session AI is already powerful, but the initial setup feels somewhat complex for new users. The configuration of rules and integration may require technical understanding, and the team often needs support during the early implementation. I would prefer a more guided or template-driven onboarding experience that would help teams become productive faster. I think a more transparent AI decision explanation is needed because the system makes real-time decisions. Sometimes it is not entirely clear why a specific action is triggered by Session AI, and there is limited visibility into AI reasoning in some cases, making it harder to debug or fine-tune strategies. I would like to see in the future a clear explanation of why a decision was made by Session AI, which would enhance trust and optimization for customers. Enhanced reporting and visualization are needed because while real-time actions are strong, deeper post-session analytics could be improved. More granular dashboards for business users, better visualization of journey impact over time, and easier comparison of campaigns or segments are required. I would prefer a stronger analytic layer for long-term strategy insights. Regarding integration support, I think a deeper and faster integration is required because the experience can be improved further by the enterprise ecosystem. If integration requires additional configuration efforts and real-time data sync with external platforms, it feels as though it can sometimes be optimized. A broader plug-and-play support from CDPs and CRM tools and the analytic stack would help customers. I want to see a more extensive integration marketplace with pre-built connectors and a simpler setup flow, reducing implementation time and effort. The support is generally helpful, but the resolution time for advanced and edge case issues feels as though it can sometimes be improved. Basic queries are resolved quickly, but complex workflow or integration issues may take longer to troubleshoot. Proactive guidance during implementation would be valuable, such as adding dedicated solution engineers or faster escalation paths for enterprise customers to enhance the experience. To make Session AI perfect, I believe that areas including onboarding and setup can be improved for initial users. Integration could be smoother, and reporting can be enhanced for long-term insights. These are improvements that would make it a perfect 10 out of 10. The performance, monitoring, and debugging tools could be better because when multiple real-time strategies run simultaneously, it sometimes feels difficult to trace performance issues. There is also limited visibility into how individual rules impact latency and outcomes, and debugging complex decision workflows requires effort. An improvement could be a more advanced real-time monitoring dashboard for rule performance, latency, and impact tracing, which would help the team optimize faster.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"You can customize everything according to your preferences. I've reached out to customer support many times. I highly recommend using Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. With the product, you have complete control over the management of your system."
"The most important features are the turnkey solutions offered by Oracle. These ease the administration of Oracle Databases."
"The performance and processing capability are excellent."
"The autonomous database functions are an excellent feature."
"Apart from the licensing, there's support from Oracle Cloud Platform which improved our day to day operations, time is reduced, and based on this service we are able to scale up dependent applications as quickly as we can."
"Oracle Cloud Platform has good scalability."
"They seem to be more readily integrating with Azure, which is great."
"I find the interface to be great."
"We have observed approximately a 15% to 25% improvement in conversion rates after implementing Session AI."
 

Cons

"It would be an improvement if Oracle were to offer more PaaS services like those available in Azure."
"The scalability requires some improvement. This is one of the most important things they need to get better at."
"Oracle Cloud is not a user-friendly tool. From an improvement perspective, I want Oracle Cloud to be more user-friendly."
"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."
"Specific to the Oracle Cloud; while they have been able to showcase inbuilt features for Oracle applications, what doesn't really come across clearly is what happens when you want to host, work with, or integrate with applications outside of the Oracle stack."
"I would like the Oracle Cloud Platform to have a more user-friendly UI similar to Microsoft Azure."
"Database instances and computer storage are areas with shortcomings in the product that need improvement."
"They could improve their global presence and marketing strategy to compete effectively with the likes of AWS."
"Several aspects and features require improvement. I believe an easier setup and faster onboarding is required because Session AI is already powerful, but the initial setup feels somewhat complex for new users."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing for Oracle Cloud services is reasonable. Additionally, compared to other service providers, Oracle has a substantial presence and established infrastructure in Bangladesh. Considering all these factors together makes Oracle Cloud an ideal choice and a strong contender in the market."
"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."
"The cost may be a bit high for many potential users."
"Oracle Cloud Platform has a decent pricing model."
"Oracle Cloud is an expensive solution."
"The license is a bit expensive for academic work."
"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 price is middling; it's not the most expensive product, but there is still some room for it to be more flexible."
