A workhorse that enables high availability but support has room for improvement
There is always room for improvement. When a product is marketed, many claims are made, but in reality, it does not always perform as expected. The usability and real-time capabilities could be enhanced. The product can be difficult to use compared to how it is marketed. Technical support also lacks a timely response.

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 tool are scalability and security."
"It is stable, requires high availability, and works with large datasets seamlessly."
"Oracle Cloud Object Storage is valuable for storing unstructured data, such as text documents and word documents."
"One key feature is that you can make buckets private, requiring pre-authentication and using a specific URL for access. Additionally, the buckets are encrypted by default. The flexibility of public or private buckets and how you grant access are vital security features."
"We use it mostly in the cloud. It is stable, requires high availability, and works with large datasets seamlessly."
"The technical support for the solution was very nice."
"The solution's most valuable features are its speed, unlimited space, and simplicity of use."
"The product works very fast. It automates a lot of operations in the background."
"Oracle Database Backup Service is an easy-to-use consolidation solution that's dashboard-driven."

Cons

"I could not find a load balancer in OCI similar to the support provided by Microsoft Azure and AWS."
"The product can be difficult to use compared to how it is marketed. Technical support also lacks a timely response."
"The solution should provide more customization and the possibility of doing more manual tasks."
"Cost-wise, it is not an affordable tool if you allocate space, and try to use it some other day."
"Sometimes, there are glitches with applying policies. Even when the policy is correct, it might not work consistently. We need to troubleshoot to see if it's a user error or if the policy itself needs adjustment. It usually works after refreshing, but that inconsistency is a minor complexity."
"The usability and real-time capabilities could be enhanced."
"Oracle Cloud Object Storage needs to have an additional bucket for security."
"The product's technical support services need improvement in terms of response time."
"Deployment is overly complex and could be streamlined."
"We cannot use the product with other brands."
"The product can protect from external data penetration, but the in-house IT team can access it."
"It's already fast, but still, they could improve the speed."
"They should base their strategy according to the country and the regulations there, and focus more on the on-premises deployment."
"The solution needs to add an archive function."
"We encounter issues while restoring differential and cumulative backups."
