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."The initial setup is pretty easy."
"The most valuable features are the usability and customer service."
"We use Amazon Lightsail for hosting security components in-house and AI modules."
"In Lightsail, they simplified to do it in as few clicks as possible. So, around ten clicks, I have a virtual machine deployed."
"It is a stable solution since it offers a very powerful performance to its users."
"The product enables users to create their own reports."
"The most important features are the turnkey solutions offered by Oracle. These ease the administration of Oracle Databases."
"The solution is pretty straightforward to setup and use."
"I find the Single Sign-On, SSO, feature to be valuable."
"The technical support is good, they have been responsive and helpful."
"It is more secure and more controlled than an on-premises deployment."
"The feature I think should be improved is the option to rename the machines."
"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."
"Currently, there is limited support available while installing or configuring it, and resources are primarily available through community-contributed articles."
"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."
"One improvement that would be helpful is the addition of a replication option on their Standard Edition OD service. Currently, this option is not available, which leads many customers to move to the Enterprise edition. However, other cloud service providers, such as Amazon AWS offer replication options at a similar tier. It would be beneficial if Oracle also explored providing this option for their Standard Edition service."
"The tool should provide more options like other cloud services. Also, it should improve scalability with the free version."
"The initial setup can be a bit complex."
"There is room for improvement for stability."
"Technical support could be a bit better."
"In a future release, they could improve by adding some form of machine learning and artificial intelligence."
"Nowadays, every SR is referred to Oracle Cloud Connect without a person actually handling the customer."
"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."
