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."Reduces work for our IT teams and saves us a lot of time."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Azure is it has everything together in one place. It is one large tool with lots of small tools that are updated often."
"We like that you sign in only once and that grants access to all of the Microsft applications, as well as others such as ServiceNow and SAP Concur."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is its ease of use."
"The solution has proven to be quite stable so far."
"There are many different components such as SaaS, PaaS, and API so every month they are releasing a few hundred new features."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Azure is the Area feature. Additionally, the SQL Server DB as a serverless pool is useful, storage-wide external tables are helpful, and PolyBase is very good at reading external data. The capacity of Synapse to analyze in analytics is very good and it supports a range of data."
"Great features at a good price."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Cloud is its autonomous database."
"The pricing of the solution is pretty good."
"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 performance and processing capability are excellent."
"Technical support is good. We are partners with Oracle so we are always speaking with them."
"It's a cloud, so it is easy to access anywhere."
"The product is scalable."
"I find the Single Sign-On, SSO, feature to be valuable."
"The pricing can be reduced."
"Due to the pandemic, I haven't been able to utilize their full resources. This has made it complicated to scale up. I hope this will be resolved after the pandemic."
"It would be helpful if Azure provided more information on the various add-ons to give people an understanding of what they are used for, and how they're applied by other companies or businesses."
"Pricing is one area where Azure has room for improvement. There should be some due consideration. Azure has solved some issues with pricing from the development team's standpoint, but it is still quite costly. They should also offer a trial period for the individual platform solutions. I think that would be pretty handy for the developers."
"It can be improved in terms of ease of billing or monitoring of the billing. That gets to be a little difficult."
"Integration with more platforms needs improvement."
"The pricing in our region can be a bit high."
"The product's initial setup process and stability need improvement."
"Lacking in additional PaaS services."
"It isn't easy to get qualified people who know how to work on this tool. All my administrators are learning as they go. Since this is the only cloud solution provider in Saudi Arabia, and it has only been around for one year, I am sure that this will change with time."
"The main issue for the clients is that they need to understand the credit payments because if it's a currency that's not dollars or euros, Oracle will always convert it into credits and that's not easy for the customer to understand at the beginning."
"The solution isn't very mature. The on-premises deployment has more features and the cloud needs to work to match those options."
"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."
"More technical papers could be published to help out professionals."
"There is room for improvement for stability."
"Portability of the VMware environment into the Oracle Cloud should be made more simple."
