Pros
"Frankly speaking, I've been very impressed with the stability the solution offers. Everything is working very well at the moment, and we haven't had any issues or faced any bugs or glitches.""Just having the many options and features offered by the product through the cloud is a major benefit.""The pricing of the solution is pretty good.""The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is a cloud-based solution.""Oracle is a very useful tool in terms of usability and customization.""The solution is pretty straightforward to setup and use.""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 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."

"VBS is another tool that allows users to create enterprise applications without needing to store their projects in traditional databases like SQL.""The most valuable feature was the visual drag and drop on the components.""The initial setup is easy.""You don't need a dedicated IDE to develop. You can work from any browser, which is very convenient. And, with the cloud concept, your code is stored in the cloud, so you can modify it from anywhere, at any time.""The tool is very easy to use."

Cons
"This service is very specific to Oracle and we cannot have other types of workloads on Oracle Cloud.""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 portfolio should improve for the Oracle Cloud Platform. Oracle has to increase the services offered. New services should be added to be able to compete better with Amazon AWS which is the best, and the biggest service. Oracle Cloud Platform has a small portfolio, but it's a good one.""Oracle Cloud Platform can improve the integration with hybrid and cross-cloud deployments. It should be a flexible solution with a very well-defined integration with other applications in the hybrid environment. There are certain integrations that are not straightforward.""Pricing could be improved considering competition and market conditions.""The integration tools that they offer are quite complex to use.""Sometimes when we install something, we need to partition and maybe rebuild the index. This can cause some issues for performance. In the future, I would like to see more stability and fewer bugs.""OCI's user interface is awful and needs to be modernized."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Cons →

"The initial setup of Oracle VBCS can be challenging for those unfamiliar with DBS.""The feature called "action chains" could use a bit of enhancement.""The tool has minor bugs.""I would improve the license structure as, for some companies, it may seem a little bit expensive, depending on what they're doing.""There was an attempt to enable front-end development, it did what it intended to do, but the side effects were too bad."
