Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Reviews

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 solution is stable.

The solution is scalable, and it is in the public domain.

We have had a good experience with customer service and support. I rate them a nine out of ten.

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 scalability of 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 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.

We have clients that are using the Oracle Cloud Platform for ERP data and EBS. The customers come from many fields, such as pharmaceutical and textile companies.

Oracle Cloud Platform is a good solution because with large data platforms the data migration can be a challenge and this is the reason to move and migrate towards the cloud from on-premises.

Amazon AWS has a better solution overall.

I have been using the Oracle Cloud Platform for approximately one year.

This solution is stable for most customers but in the banking sector, they are not currently using the public cloud.

Oracle Cloud Platform is a scalable solution.

The support from Orale Cloud Platform is very good.

I rate the support from Orale Cloud Platform a five out of five.

I have used Amazon AWS and they are a better vendor for all cloud technologies. Some features and requirements of Amazon AWS are different from Oracle Cloud.

The initial migration to the Oracle Cloud Platform was very easy. We are going to implement the data for our customers within two and three weeks. This is one of our opportunities to implement the Oracle Cloud Platform for our customers.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Oracle Cloud Platform an eight out of ten.

The most valuable features of Oracle Cloud are flexibility and beneficial security.

I have been using Oracle Cloud for approximately two years. 

 I have found Oracle Cloud to be a scalable solution.

The organization I was working for had business worldwide in over 10 countries and there were more than 10,000 people using this solution.

I have not used the support.

Clients are able to reduce their costs by using Oracle Cloud.

The price of the solution should be reduced to a price that people can afford.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Oracle Cloud a seven out of ten.

I use a lot of features of OCI. I use it for computing, for histology and for ExaCS.

I find the Single Sign-On, SSO, feature to be valuable.

The billing and right sizing for optimization of your cost in the cloud, a well architected frame. An article should be done as soon as possible to improve it. The framework from AWS is so good, I would like to see this feature in OCI.

I have been using Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Registry, OCIR, for three years.

OCI is stable. 

This solution is perfect, it works very well. Every time I need to scale some machines, they scale automatically for me. 

I never use technical support with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Registry.

The initial setup of OCI was simple. I have a lot of experience in Cloud, so it is easy for me.

For those looking at implementing OCI, I recommend you talk to others who have used  it. If you need an environment with scalability and trust for your services, OCI, you won't need to worry.

I would rate OCI a 9 out of 10.

Our clients are the maritime projects in Arab countries. They have Oracle 12C and 19C plus Data Guard deployed. We use Oracle for backup and some simple administration tasks, like creating more space to extend or resize the files.

The main purpose is to improve performance and provide high availability for the projects. We install the Oracle cluster between the client and the Data Guard— from the cluster to the nodes and the primary database to the standby database, which is also three nodes.

Oracle is valuable for improving performance and addressing issues between the nodes of clusters for private IPs. It provides a private connection between the client and the security cluster.

Sometimes when we install something, we need to partition and maybe rebuild the index. This can cause some issues for performance. In the future, I would like to see more stability and fewer bugs.

I've been using Oracle Cloud Platform since 2019.

Oracle Cloud Platform is stable.

Oracle Cloud platform is scalable. 

I rate Oracle support eight out of 10. 

Oracle Cloud Platform isn't complex to set up and administer. It takes about three or four days to install and configure empty clusters according to the user requirements.

All of our projects have licensing costs. It's about half a million. 

I rate Oracle Cloud Platform eight out of 10. 

I am an IT infrastructure manager for an aerospace engineering company in Saudi Arabia. This solution is where we host our data center.

The main benefit is that you're getting all of the resources you require on a subscription basis. You get to pay as you go instead of having to have a CAPEX, you convert your CAPEX to OPEX to cover the data center cost.

It isn't easy to get qualified people who know how to work on this tool. All my administrators are learning as they go. Since this is the only cloud solution provider in Saudi Arabia, and it has only been around for one year, I am sure that this will change with time.

I have been using this solution for six months.

The solution is very stable.

It is scalable.

We previously were using an on-premise data center.

I would rate the setup a medium in terms of difficulty as there is some level of training required.

There are not six to eight people maintaining the tool.

We utilized a partner team of OCI to do the initial setup and configuration. It took about one month to complete.

There is an annual and a subscription option.

This solution is a bit more complex than other options, and there are not as many qualified engineers, administrators, etc. out there. It may take you some time to find qualified people to work on it for you, or you will need to train your own people to work on it.

I would rate this an eight out of ten.
