We performed a comparison between Microsoft Azure and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Oracle and others in Infrastructure as a Service Clouds (IaaS)."The solution does a lot of coding and customization, and can go live quickly."
"It is quick and easy to deploy. It is flexible, and we can deploy a resource anytime. We like and prefer the pay-as-you-go model."
"Infrastructure as a service is most valuable."
"The solution is very simple to use. It has a lot of great practical applications we really appreciate."
"We've found the solution to be extremely flexible."
"Azure offers broad compatibility with both structured and unstructured data. For example, we use PostgreSQL for storing Azure's official data and manage various types of data, including tabular and image data, accommodating the storage of all data types we handle. So, in many ways, Azure simplified the data storage and management needs."
"Azure is a good networking solution from a WAN perspective."
"This is a very stable product."
"This is a highly available and scalable solution that can host both modern and legacy on-premises applications."
"The most valuable feature is the reporting service."
"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."
"I haven't experienced any instability or downtime in Oracle Cloud over the past three years. It is scalable The support team was good. The initial setup is straightforward to configure. I rate the solution a nine out of ten with ten being the highest."
"The environment is super fast so you get all the underlying machines behind the data. It's a good processing machine, especially in the Generation Two Cloud."
"The solution is pretty straightforward to setup and use."
"What I like best about Oracle Cloud is that it is an all-in-one system for everything."
"Oracle offers more of the basic functionality needs."
"The third-party data-sharing features must be improved."
"Microsoft Azure could improve by being more secure."
"The solution should emulate what MuleSoft is doing. At the moment MuleSoft has a lot of other features compared to Azure API integration."
"Scalability is definitely in need of improvement. Azure is a very good solution but it still lacks the performance of other cloud platforms."
"I would want Microsoft Azure to provide some credits that can be used to test and validate Microsoft’s different solutions since it is an area where the product lacks."
"Something that could be added to the solution is the use of deep learning, which is going to grow in the near future."
"They can improve the number of requests. Maybe they can increase it from 5,000 requests to 10,000 requests a month. Sometimes when you try to connect, it is quite unresponsive. When you want to communicate using the API, you get an internal error."
"The solution’s learning curve could be improved."
"The initial setup can be a bit complex."
"Oracle Cloud's support could be improved because its second-line support has weak engineers who handle stuff a little bit slowly."
"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 scalability requires some improvement. This is one of the most important things they need to get better at."
"This service is very specific to Oracle and we cannot have other types of workloads on Oracle Cloud."
"Portability of the VMware environment into the Oracle Cloud should be made more simple."
"The biggest challenge I'm having with the cloud offering is the sizing. So, pricing becomes difficult. The sizing challenge is in terms of being very clear on how your data growth or your requirements would be. It becomes a bit difficult to be able to ensure that there's enough future proofing in what you've signed. At the same time, the whole idea behind the cloud is to be able to pay for what you use. You don't want to pay for something that you're not using."
"Since our Oracle products are on premise we cannot get the premier Oracle products."
