Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Reviews

We have a customer requirement for a private cloud environment, and we use our on-premises system as a tool for order planning. 

We have also established a connection by configuring their network based on the requirements they provided.

I like that with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure you can customize everything according to your preferences. You can choose your hardware, perform various tasks, and design your infrastructure per your requirements. It allows you to fulfill all your needs.

In the region where I work, there's a perception that it's too expensive. I believe pricing is a crucial area that needs assessment. They should consider improving the pricing strategy to make it more appealing and effective, especially to attract new customers and buyers in this region.

I've been using this solution for the past two and a half years.

I've reached out to customer support many times. They provide coding support and other solutions. If, for some reason, the answer isn't readily available, they're willing to conduct a Zoom session to work through the issue and provide an effective solution.

You simply need to sign up, and the process is straightforward. Just click on the service button, and then proceed to create a user account. We've implemented the tool on Oracle Cloud and currently have four to five users using the solution.

The solution is expensive.

I highly recommend using Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. If you have a good understanding of the product, know how to install it, and know how to get it installed, then it's in your hands to save money. 

With the product, you have complete control over the management of your system. You can devise your own policies and create services tailored to your specific requirements. Overall, I rate the product an eight out of ten.

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

The product roadmap strategy for some of the products is not clear. The solution’s API management is not as great as Azure.

I have been using the solution for seven years.

We have not faced any stability issues with the solution.

It is really easy to scale the product. We can add additional CPUs with ease. More than 4000 people in our organization use the product.

The support is fairly good. Our issues get resolved fairly within the appropriate time.

The initial setup is fairly easy.

Our employees and some contractors deployed the product in our organization. The deployment process depends on what service we want to deploy. The deployment takes a couple of minutes.

We see an ROI because of the solution's reusability.

The product is the backbone of integrating multi-cloud strategies. For the same task, the number of staff needed for Oracle is a little bit less than that for Azure. People planning to use the product must plan their process and ensure they have a good platform architect. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

Our primary use case for the solution is hosting our servers in the cloud and subscribing to Oracle's database services.

The database and cloud computing are valuable.

The pricing of the solution can be improved.

We have been using the solution for four years and are currently using the latest version.

The initial setup was conducted by Oracle Cloud Infrastructure technical team.

We implemented it through a vendor team.

We have seen a return on investment.

The licensing is a yearly subscription, and it could be more affordable.

There are certain applications that are constantly running on Oracle Cloud which we use. There are certain sets of applications that run only during the last, and first week of the month.

The most valuable feature of Oracle Cloud is the digital assistant.

Oracle Cloud could improve AI. The design elements could be done better.

I have been using Oracle Cloud for approximately four years.

The solution is highly stable.

I rate the stability of Oracle Cloud a ten out of ten.

The scalability of Oracle Cloud is very good. It is highly scalable.

We have millions of exchanged conversations on the Oracle Cloud per month.

I rate the support from Oracle Cloud a ten out of ten.

Positive

The initial setup of Oracle Cloud is simple.

Microsoft Azure and Amazon AWS have similar features and functionality to Oracle Cloud. They all have their enterprise versions.

I rate Oracle Cloud a nine out of ten.

We find the ease of use and the cost associated with the solution valuable.

The ability to have other workloads from other suppliers running on the solution would be nice in the next release.

We have been using the solution for approximately six years and are currently using the latest version.

The solution is stable.

The solution is scalable, and approximately 500 people are utilizing it in our organization.

Oracle technical support is good compared to the other providers. So it is good for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and general cloud products.

The initial setup was straightforward. We have always had cloud adoption and connections for customers, but as soon as we passed the cloud adoption connection to EAM, it ran smoothly.

I rate the solution a nine out of ten. The solution is good, but it should have other workloads from other suppliers running on the solution in the next release.

We use Oracle Cloud Platforms predominantly for ERP and some analytics. However, we also address beyond ERP where we integrate data from on-premise sources, such as custom applications or other PaaS solutions. We integrate the data, load it into the cloud autonomous from the data warehouse, then build analytics on top of it.

The most valuable features of the Oracle Cloud Platform are good visualization and analytics. The solution is very well integrated with predictive analytics and forecasting. These features go beyond the traditional reports and visualization.

The documentation quality is excellent and the UI is intuitive.

Oracle Cloud Platform can improve the integration with hybrid and cross-cloud deployments. It should be a flexible solution with a very well-defined integration with other applications in the hybrid environment. There are certain integrations that are not straightforward. 

The visualization could improve by providing what the other vendors have. However, in terms of customer requirements, whatever visualization Oracle Cloud Platform has will suffice.

I have been using the Oracle Cloud Platform for approximately seven years.

Oracle Cloud Platform is quite stable because it's not a brand new solution, and it's built on top of the traditional product of OBIE and ODIE. In this way it is stable. There will be a certain bug since it's a new cloud operation, but overall the solution is stable.

The scalability of the Oracle Cloud Platform is very good.

We have approximately 250 consultants using this solution in my organization.

The technical support from Oracle is good.

I have a vast experience of 23 years and I have used many solutions over the years. Oracle Cloud Platform may not be the best solution, but it's comparable to other solutions.

The initial setup of the Oracle Cloud Platform is very well documented. If you follow the processes in the documentation, there should not be any challenge. However, when you integrate with on-premise sources, you may face some challenges.

The maintenance staff we need depends on the projects. However, you don't need many PaaS solutions, such as this. In the maintenance of the application, you may need consultants, but for core application maintenance, you don't need any because it is managed by Oracle.

Oracle Cloud Platform has a decent pricing model.

Oracle Cloud Platform is a great solution. I would advise others to try it out, the features are quite comparable with all the competitors.

I rate Oracle Cloud Platform an eight out of ten.
