Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Reviews

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.

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 move databases to the public and private cloud.

My company has a big project to move all databases into the cloud and construct new sited in OCI. We have four to six huge databases amounting to 100 terabytes to move in OCI.

We specifically use the Oracle data guards because of the site disaster recovery. We have situations, one database has all the transactions all the time, while the other is positioned 6 hours ago. We have spent six hours to apply the transactions into the other database.

We have a lot of challenges with OCI because we need to build functions in the application. In my data center, if we have problems we change it in the cloud so part of the applications changes making it very complicated. 

In our system, we have some private dates and we need to use cryptography data, however, some of the cities are very old and we need to build all the social functions in the system, again making it very complicated to put all the information into the database.

In general, the systems application needs improvement.

I have been working with OCI for four years.

The complexity of the initial setup depends on the solution in the system. In our case, it was not very complicated because I used the new technology of excavators and I put all my databases into this solution. With the features, the security, and others. The initial setup is not a problem for databases.

We used some partners to help with the deployment. They are high level technicians that specialize in the service.

I would rate Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Registry an 8 out of 10.

I'm mainly focused on autonomous databases.

Oracle is a more powerful database than Azure or AWS. 

Recently, they have been offering free certificates, which is a good way to distribute their solutions and to showcase their cloud services.

They seem to be more readily integrating with Azure, which is great.

So far, I have found the solution to be stable. 

In the market, they are still not the best, however, they are working on it. They want to be more popular than AWS or Azure, which dominate right now.  

The initial setup can be a bit complex.

They need to build up their DevOps. 

They need to increase their high availability regions. They need more data centers in Africa. It risks services when high availability isn't available.

I've only really used the solution for four months. I've just begun to focus on it in the last three weeks. 

The stability is good. They have very good SLAs.

While the scalability is good, only two or three have high availability domains. This is something they need to work on. 

We have 15 users who are using Oracle in our organization. 

Recently, we started work on a project with HPC, high-performance computing. We'll be using this on the cloud. However, we may use AWS for this as they are a bit more powerful still. 

In terms of support, sometimes we open some cases if we find any issue, however, everything is stable and working well. We are satisfied with their level of service. 

We previously worked with Excel databases. 

I'm also familiar with AWS and Azure. 

AWS was based on high-performance computing and their infrastructure is more powerful than Oracle infrastructure.

The initial setup can get complex. The network aspects are still a little bit complex, however, their cloud services are pretty straightforward. 

The deployment times vary. It depends on the type of system we are deploying. It takes two to three days to deploy typically.

We have two or three people that can handle any maintenance tasks. 

While we haven't seen an ROI yet, that I know of, we likely will see some sort of ROI in the future. 

They have an OpEx model that is pay-as-you-go.

We have a yearly contract subscription. 

I'm just a customer and an end-user.

We are using the most recent version of the solution. 

If anyone is curious to learn more about Oracle, they have opened all of their courses on Oracle University for free. Those interested in adopting the solution should take advantage, and learn as much as they can about Oracle before they go ahead and deploy any services.

I'd rate the solution at a seven out of ten.

We use Oracle Database, and it only runs on Oracle Cloud Platform. No other cloud vendors support it.  

I've been working with Oracle Cloud Platform for six months.

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is about as stable as the other CSPs, but Oracle Cloud is more common in Korea. 

Oracle Cloud installation is about the same as any other CSP—very straightforward.

I rate Oracle Cloud seven out of 10.  I say seven because I don't have much experience with Oracle Cloud.

We are a software-based company. We develop custom applications for our customers. We are currently customers of Oracle but working on forming a partnership with Oracle Cloud Singapore. I'm a cloud engineer.

Oracle Cloud offers more of the basic functionality needs than other cloud providers offer.

It would be an improvement if Oracle were to offer more PaaS services like those available in Azure. The technical support could also be improved. 

Although the response time is generally quite good, there are still areas for improvement. 

I think the initial setup is relatively straightforward, in line with the other cloud solutions. 

I think Oracle's license costs are relatively lower than those of Azure or AWS. I think the cost is reasonable. 

I have had more experience with Azure Cloud so I prefer it because of the familiarity aspect.  Once I get used to Oracle, I might prefer that solution. 

I rate the solution seven out of 10.
