We performed a comparison between Microsoft Azure and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Infrastructure as a Service Clouds (IaaS) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I think the most useful feature has been the remote desktop. It has been very helpful when customers have old applications that are not architected to run remotely."
"The most valuable aspect of Azure is the flexibility you have for all the services and solutions it offers, even if you use IaaS, PaaS, or SaaS, you have the option to only pay for the services you use."
"There are several products within Azure."
"Kubernetes service and API management are the most valuable."
"In terms of scalability, it is perfect."
"I have found Microsoft Azure to be stable. We have large corporate customers and it is working great."
"It has multiple features that can be used from the start."
"Provides a high level of availability and 99% uptime."
"The autonomous database functions are an excellent feature."
"The most valuable feature is that it offers several adaptors."
"The main benefit is that you're getting all of the resources you require on a subscription base. So, 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."
"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."
"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 technical support is good, they have been responsive and helpful."
"Just having the many options and features offered by the product through the cloud is a major benefit."
"Apart from the licensing, there's support from Oracle Cloud Platform which improved our day to day operations. Time is reduced. Based on this service, we are able to scale up dependent applications as quickly as we can."
"There are many bugs in the solutions and we already have a ticket to Microsoft. Their content team is working on that."
"The price could be improved as well as the interface speed, and technical support."
"The subscriptions are complicated."
"For deploying multiple resources in a big number, such as in hundreds, we need a streamlined process and more user-friendly scrips. The scripts have to be more user-friendly, and they should also supply some standard templates to deploy multiple resources at a time. Currently, it is very easy to deploy a couple of resources, but if you want to deploy multiple resources, it becomes complex. The material that they provide for integration with an existing on-prem data center is complex. They have to make them user-friendly. The scripts related to resource management need to be simplified."
"The market place can be raised, and the CMT can be more sophisticated to create more opportunities for the end users."
"It would be nice to have faster support."
"It can be cheaper, which might simplify things a bit."
"There needs to be better data security. There are organizations that do not want their data to be submitted to Microsoft, they should have strong encryption."
"The solution's reporting part is not good and needs more development."
"The solution could always be less expensive."
"The solution's scalability is an area with shortcomings...Mid-level customers feel that Oracle is not scalable in their environment and is an enterprise-level segment solution."
"They could add more features."
"There's one app I have to install on my device, the Articulate Player app. It's only available on Apple and Android, but it's not available for Windows. I can't run the program on my desktop, to use it to learn Java."
"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."
"The technical support is really bad, because their reaction time is extremely slow."
"The product features related to the manufacturing domain must be improved."
