Customer support is very good.""It is easy to deploy what you need for the initial setup""An advantage of IBM Public Cloud is the bare metal server. We can take the bare metal server. It's not shared with anyone. We can deploy our applications without sharing them with anyone. That is an advantage of IBM Public Cloud.""The initial setup was very easy. It's quite straightforward. Deployment took about fifteen minutes. Everything is well organized.""One of the features that I really like about IBM Cloud is the flexibility where you can order your own hardware.""This is a predictable and dependable service.""There is no installation for this product because it is a cloud product."

Cons
"Maybe performance enhancers and reports could be better improved. If they do so, it would be better. Of all the drawbacks I saw, this would be the biggest enhancement.""The initial setup and the pricing are areas that need improvement.""They do not have a very good virtual network implemented, and the VPC is the most important feature that needs to be improved.""It could be more secure.""They could improve on customizing reporting capabilities.""The solution’s pricing could be improved.""The deployment can be a bit of a pain. There are a lot of packages and a lot of options and it can require complex configuration to get it right.""It will be challenging to implement if you do not have any experience."

More IBM Public Cloud Cons →

"I would like the Oracle Cloud Platform to have a more user-friendly UI similar to Microsoft Azure.""The tool should provide more options like other cloud services. Also, it should improve scalability with the free version.""Areas that need improvement are the pricing and the support.""Technical support could be a bit better.""There should be more management automation.""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.""The price of the subscription is too high and excludes some potential customers.""There's a need for further customization to unlock the platform's full potential."

    Overview

    IBM Cloud is a full-stack cloud platform that spans public, private and hybrid environments. Build with a robust suite of advanced data and AI tools, and draw on deep industry expertise to help you on your journey to the cloud.

    Cloud services where you need them

    Your need for sovereignty, compliance, and location-specific performance should not limit your access to the latest cloud innovations. OCI gives you access to a full portfolio of cloud services wherever you need them. With a wide range of cloud options, including on-premises, dedicated Cloud@Customer, hybrid, multicloud solutions such as Oracle Database Service for Microsoft Azure, or public cloud, OCI’s distributed cloud portfolio—available across regions worldwide—solves your toughest business challenges.

    Optimize enterprise applications without costly rearchitecture

    When modernizing your enterprise apps, abandoning core technology isn’t feasible or necessary for success. OCI is built to address the unique requirements of performance-sensitive on-premises applications and other traditional enterprise apps—scale-up architectures, ultralow-latency networks, built-in security, and clustering of resources for availability in the cloud without risky and costly application refactoring. Additionally, OCI's specialized migration tools and programs facilitate easy transitioning.

    Build and run cloud native or third-party apps with open source tools

    Modern enterprises deserve the flexibility and freedom to choose from the various frameworks, clouds, and services available. Be it Postgres, SQL Server, Windows Server, VMware, or Kubernetes, OCI services are designed to easily run third-party, open source applications or to build cloud native applications. Our broad open source partner ecosystem enables you to bring apps to market faster, easily innovate, and scale.

    Harness your data to uncover new business value

    Data drives your business. Whether you’re building next-gen social applications or online games or seeking better outcomes from decades of healthcare data, making data work is getting harder. OCI services such as Oracle MySQL Heatwave and Oracle Autonomous Database service support all your data models, remove data silos, converge data for efficiency, and analyze data—helping you unlock business potential without sacrificing security and governance controls.
