Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Reviews

We mainly use the solution for Oracle databases and BI purposes.

The product’s pricing should be reduced.

I have been using this solution for over five years.

I haven't experienced any instability or downtime in Oracle Cloud over the past three years.

It is scalable and suitable for large companies looking to upgrade.

I contacted their customer support when I encountered issues with my VM due to incorrect configuration of certain parameters. The support team was good.

We have not used any other solution besides Oracle Cloud.

The initial setup is straightforward to configure.

The solution is overpriced. I rate the pricing a nine out of ten with ten being expensive.

Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten with ten being the highest.

We use the solution in insurance and financial institutions like banks.

The solution is better than its previous on-premise version. The on-premise version was not flexible enough for end-user reporting requirements. The product enables users to create their own reports. It is really helpful.

The product is not stable enough for our SCM client’s requirements. The clients' requirements are not feasible for the out-of-the-box solution. The product features related to the manufacturing domain must be improved.

I have been using the solution for five to six years.

The tool is not stable. We ended up doing additional tasks to fulfill the client’s requirements. It is not that flexible.

The solution is scalable. Our customers are mainly enterprise-level businesses.

The technical support is very good. It has improved over the last few years. Now, we get better responses from the engineers.

Positive

The installation is very easy. The time taken for deployment depends on the volume of the configuration. Generally, it can be done within one or two days. We have one SME and another person to support the SME in configuring the product. It is very easy to maintain the tool.

The product’s pricing is reasonable compared to other tools in the market. We pay a yearly subscription. Our clients mainly pay the initial license cost and the yearly subscription fee.

If someone wants to implement the product for a new client, they must understand the features and functionalities available out of the box. I would rate the tool a ten out of ten for the finance modules, but I would rate it a seven for manufacturing. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

One of the use cases of Oracle Cloud is that it helps use Oracle Database as a Service. In my company, the one database that we have on the cloud is supported, operated, and maintained by Oracle.

The solution's most valuable features are that it is easy to use and scalable. One of the best things about Oracle Cloud is that you need not worry about the underlying infrastructure it was deployed with since it allows you to increase the capacity with just one click.

If you want more CPUs, you can increase the overall number in your environment.

I don't have sufficient experience with Oracle Cloud to be able to comment on the areas where improvements are required.

Oracle Cloud is not a user-friendly tool. From an improvement perspective, I want Oracle Cloud to be more user-friendly.

I have experience with Oracle Cloud. I do not directly use Oracle Cloud, but I use the tool for a client of my company who uses the product.

It is a scalable solution. You just need to consider increasing your resources to use the solution's scalability features.

There aren't multiple users of the solution in my company. Only one person in my company uses the solution. My company uses Oracle Database in Oracle Cloud to create and use persistent stores. We also use Oracle Cloud in our company in relation to persistent data.

Even though my company has used the product's technical support, I am not the person who spoke with Oracle's technical team.

The initial setup of Oracle Cloud is simple.

During the setup phase of Oracle Cloud, you just need to click to deal with the provisioning part, after which the tool provides you with assistance, especially regarding the CPUs and RAM you need.

The solution is deployed on the cloud.

The product offers a subscription-based licensing model. Though I am not sure, there are payments to be made to Oracle at the end of every quarter.

I rate the overall tool a ten out of ten.

I like the consistency that the solution offers to its uses. I also like how secure and powerful the solution is since I haven't had to deal with any issues from my company's customers. In general, my company's customers who use Oracle Cloud Platform are happy. I found the implementation process of the solution to be good.

The research and development team working at Oracle and Microsoft are doing their best to improve the product.

The pricing model of Oracle Cloud Platform is an area of concern. Oracle Cloud Platform should be made available at a cheap price.

I have been working as a senior account manager selling Oracle Cloud Platform since Oracle offers more than 90 products.

It is a stable solution.

Since it is a cloud solution, I can say it is a scalable product.

The solution's technical support has been perfect for me.

I rate my experience with Microsoft a nine out of ten. SAP also offers powerful tools but does not match the same level as Microsoft or Oracle.

I wasn't involved in the deployment process of Oracle Cloud Platform since my job was to only sell it.

The solution is deployed on the cloud.

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

I recommend Oracle Cloud Platform to those who plan to use it. I also recommend Microsoft products to others. Products from Oracle and Microsoft are very powerful.

I rate the overall product a five or six out of ten for Egypt. From a global perspective, I rate the overall product a nine out of ten.

My company uses Oracle Cloud for our infrastructure as a service cloud.

Database instances and computer storage are areas with shortcomings in the product that need improvement.

The product's technical support team must improve their speed of response.

Oracle Cloud is not an easy tool to use, so I would like to see it offer faster connectivity and better migration capabilities in the future.

I have been using Oracle Cloud for two years. I use the solution in my company as our company is a customer of Oracle. I don't remember the version of the solution.

It is a stable solution since it offers a very powerful performance to its users.

My company has more than 100 users of the product, with around 12 administrators.

I am satisfied with the solution's technical support. I rate the technical support an eight out of ten.

Positive

I have experience with AWS. Oracle Cloud is available at a low cost compared to AWS. Compared to Oracle Cloud, AWS offers more services and quality at a high cost.

AWS also provides a database and S3 as a part of their services. Oracle is more easy to learn, while AWS is hard to learn.

The initial setup of Oracle Cloud was very simple.

Our company has senior engineers who oversee the product's setup phase.

The costs involved are low when it comes to Oracle Cloud, especially when compared to AWS.

I am not satisfied with Oracle Cloud as a product.

Oracle Kubernetes, Oracle AI, and Oracle Analytics are good, making the database Oracle a better choice for my company.

I rate the overall product a seven out of ten.

The solution is easy to use. The user experience is very well set up. The product is easy to understand and navigate.

The deployment from on-premises to the cloud is a bit complicated.

I have been using the solution for two years.

I rate the stability a nine out of ten.

The scalability is unlimited. I rate the scalability a ten out of ten. About ten people in the organization use the product.

I rate the ease of initial setup a seven out of ten. As we go deeper into the solution, it becomes a little difficult, and we would need to refer to the documentation quite a bit. So, in the beginning, it's easy, but as we go deeper, it gets difficult.

The deployment takes about ten minutes. We need to give email and code details to have an account.

I rate the solution’s pricing an eight out of ten.

I am using the latest version of the product. The product is one of the biggest cloud supporters. If someone works with Oracle, it is definitely worth learning it. It is growing faster than other cloud supplies like Azure and AWS. Overall, I rate the product an eight out of ten.

The solution works very well.

The solution's cost could be better. Also, it takes time to release resources compared to AWS. They should improve this particular area.

We have been using the solution for nine months.

The solution is stable.

Around 40% of our organization uses this solution. It has good scalability.

The solution's technical support services are more expensive than AWS. Also, they should expand the team to address day-to-day issues.

Neutral

The solution is expensive.

I rate the solution a five out of ten.

We use the solution to migrate the legacy infrastructure to the Oracle cloud.

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

The solution needs to improve the discovery and assessment of the existing infrastructure.

I have been working with the product for two to three years.

I would rate the tool's stability a ten out of ten.

I would rate the tool's scalability a ten out of ten.

We have dedicated premium support and it's good.

Positive

I would rate the solution's setup a seven out of ten. The tool's deployment takes around four to five hours to complete. Initial discovery and assessment should be conducted for the existing infrastructure. Post that you can conduct the migration activities.

I would rate the solution an eight out of ten. The tool is a leader in cloud technology and it is very professional. It has pretty good skills and knowledge in terms of providing support during the actual migration.

The product helps us to use it as a central ERP and HCM.

The solution needs improvement in support, performance, and features. 

I have been working with the solution for four years. 

The solution is scalable. 

I would rate the tool's proactive support an eight out of ten. 

Negative

yUThe tool's implementation was straightforward and took around three months to complete. 

I would rate the solution a seven out of ten. 

The solution is used for syncing all the information from our On-Premises Data Centre to the Oracle CI. We are using Oracle Infrastructure as a service.

We are not using any features offered by OCI but only using virtual machines. So our data only syncs from our On-premises to cloud. The compute and performance are better than other cloud solutions.

The initial setup can be made easier and the technical support team should give faster responses.

Oracle can introduce the VPN service that can be directly connected to the machine and perform work directly on the server. This feature can help users.

I have been using Oracle Cloud Platform for more than four years.

It is a stable solution. I rate the stability a nine out of ten.

For its scalability, there should be provision that we can build a scale up or down scale on a running system.Whenever we scale up or down scale, we have to shut down the system and then apply it to do the configuration. I rate the scalability an eight out of ten.

The technical support is very slow. Recently, I raised a concern for MFA but did not get any response for eight days. After I escalated it to the manager I got a response. I rate the support a five out of ten.

Neutral

The initial setup is very complex. I have faced difficulty configuring a new region. We already deployed from one region to another region, but I faced a lot of the problem when configuring the new region.Another issue that I was faced was when I am allowing any other server or any other IP, to access from the effectuation basis but there is no feature to allow me chose the server by server name. There should be a provision to allow firewall by server name or you can set the domain name. But at present its only based on IP.

As the solution is a bit expensive, the Return On Investment will take one to two years to show.

Oracle Cloud Platform is a bit costly. You can always bring your own license or subscribe to the SaaS option, but the SaaS option is very costly.

I rate the pricing a six out of ten.

I rate the overall solution an eight out of ten.
