Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Reviews

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. 

Right now we're using two cloud platforms, one being Oracle Cloud Platform and the other Microsoft Azure. We've been using Oracle Cloud Platform since 2018 and Azure since 2015.

We use Oracle Cloud Platform with the OCI Infrastructure as a Service offerings, and we're essentially using it for the compute instances and nothing else. We have deployed some servers running Oracle Linux which are being used as our main development environment. Then, we also have servers for our UAT (User Acceptance Testing) environment. Neither of these use cases are for production environments, and they are only used for development and testing.

To access Oracle Cloud Platform, we have a VPN site-to-site connection from our site to Oracle Cloud. We don't have the FastConnect option because we don't have a very good reason to use it.

As for users, we typically have around 20 people who are connected to the Oracle environment and who do their work on it. Regarding maintenance, we have three people on technical staff for that, who are DBAs and architects.

It hasn't improved our organization in a direct, or highly visible, way because we only use it for development and testing. However, I enjoy the ease with which we are able to deploy Oracle Linux server instances and other Oracle products. 

I like having the ability to easily run Oracle Linux server instances and to deploy Oracle Middleware and WebLogic servers. Oracle's Infrastructure as a Service products are also very useful, and we're using those right now within Oracle OCI.

I think that there could be a more user-friendly environment when it comes to the options that Oracle presents through the Oracle Cloud Platform.

Also, when you compare it to Microsoft Azure Marketplace, there aren't as many options to choose from, and some features are not available in some operating systems. In particular, I'd like to see more readily-available features such as Fusion Middleware as a service, in the same way that they have WebLogic as a service within OCI.

I have been using Oracle Cloud Platform for the last three years.

It's very stable, especially when it comes to accessing the Oracle Cloud Platform through VPN.

It's very scalable and we haven't had any issues in that regard.

We have not previously used a similar solution to Oracle Cloud Platform. We started with Oracle Cloud Platform because we were already using Oracle products and we decided that deploying Oracle products on Oracle Cloud Platform would be a more sensible idea than deploying on other cloud solutions.

The setup was very straightforward and it only took one to two days for the initial deployment.

We used Oracle consultants through Oracle's ACS, along with three technical personnel including DBAs and architects.

On a monthly basis, we pay around $2,500 for licensing fees, with no additional costs. We do pay extra licensing for other on-premises solutions, but these are not related to Oracle Cloud Platform.

We're not using that many products within Oracle Cloud Platform, but nevertheless I can recommend it. Especially when it comes to the Database as a Service, which we use a lot. I can easily vouch for that if you are looking for good database performance.

In addition, if any companies or clients are currently using Oracle Database on-premises, I can certainly recommend that they migrate to Oracle Cloud Database. 

I would rate Oracle Cloud Platform an eight out of ten.
