We performed a comparison between Amazon Lightsail and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."In Lightsail, they simplified to do it in as few clicks as possible. So, around ten clicks, I have a virtual machine deployed."
"The initial setup is pretty easy."
"We use Amazon Lightsail for hosting security components in-house and AI modules."
"The most valuable features are the usability and customer service."
"The object storage and managed backup solution are valuable."
"Oracle offers more of the basic functionality needs."
"This is a highly available and scalable solution that can host both modern and legacy on-premises applications."
"We appreciate the fact that this solution will operate with both native and third-party applications. This has meant that we don't need to change all of our systems to accommodate it within our network."
"The initial setup of Oracle Cloud is simple...It is a scalable solution."
"Oracle Cloud is reasonably scalable - I'd rate it seven out of ten."
"The flexibility is most valuable. By having our infrastructure in the cloud, we are able to spin up instances as needed and alter the capacity as needed."
"They seem to be more readily integrating with Azure, which is great."
"I don't see this solution as enterprise-ready, for bigger companies like banks."
"When you need to add some custom rules to Amazon Lightsail, the auto scaling feature is a bit difficult."
"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."
"Oracle Cloud's price is very high."
"Database instances and computer storage are areas with shortcomings in the product that need improvement."
"The solution isn't very mature. The on-premises deployment has more features and the cloud needs to work to match those options."
"Specific to the Oracle Cloud; while they have been able to showcase inbuilt features for Oracle applications, what doesn't really come across clearly is what happens when you want to host, work with, or integrate with applications outside of the Oracle stack."
"Portability of the VMware environment into the Oracle Cloud should be made more simple."
"The solution should integrate better with other tools and different vendors."
"They could add more features."
"The solution does not follow a retention policy while taking ad hoc backups. Since it does not follow the retention policy, we had to do the manual task to check the backups."
