Find out in this report how the two PaaS Clouds solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The initial setup is pretty easy."
"We use Amazon Lightsail for hosting security components in-house and AI modules."
"In Lightsail, they simplified to do it in as few clicks as possible. So, around ten clicks, I have a virtual machine deployed."
"The most valuable features are the usability and customer service."
"Oracle Cloud is reasonably scalable - I'd rate it seven out of ten."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Cloud is the digital assistant."
"The solution offers many features and it is a complete replica of our data center."
"The most valuable features of Oracle Cloud are the ease of navigation and stability. The solution is more feature-rich and powerful than these smaller alternatives."
"The pricing of the solution is pretty good."
"The object storage and managed backup solution are valuable."
"Just having the many options and features offered by the product through the cloud is a major benefit."
"It's reliable, performs well, and is often faster than running applications on separate machines due to optimized performance and networking capabilities within OCI."
"When you need to add some custom rules to Amazon Lightsail, the auto scaling feature is a bit difficult."
"I don't see this solution as enterprise-ready, for bigger companies like banks."
"To improve, I feel the disk management is too basic. I can't easily partition the disk for the operating system. I have to follow the main configuration that is already set up in the template. To partition the disk, I would need to deploy the operating system first and then make changes, but it's not an ideal method. I would recommend improving the disk management."
"Currently, there is limited support available while installing or configuring it, and resources are primarily available through community-contributed articles."
"The solution needs improvement in support, performance, and features."
"Oracle Cloud is not a user-friendly tool. From an improvement perspective, I want Oracle Cloud to be more user-friendly."
"The customization and the requests put through were not flexible enough."
"The Oracle Cloud platform remains complex, and despite the abundance of resources available, significant challenges can still arise during the migration process from a legacy or on-premise system. Conversely, smaller companies with less complicated systems, such as those with a two million budget, can migrate more easily."
"The functionalities could be simplified as it is a bit difficult to learn."
"Managed services for Postgres are not available in Oracle Cloud."
"The technical support is really bad, because their reaction time is extremely slow."
"Portability of the VMware environment into the Oracle Cloud should be made more simple."
