"Oracle is a very useful tool in terms of usability and customization."
"This is a highly available and scalable solution that can host both modern and legacy on-premises applications."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the high level of performance for the databases."
"The solution offers many features and it is a complete replica of our data center."
"The most valuable feature is the reporting service."
"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 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 solution’s stability could be improved."
"Dell ECS needs to improve its performance."
"If Dell ECS would be available as standalone software, so you can use any hardware with it, would make the solution better. It would also be good if Dell ECS had more integrations with other products."
"The solution needs to provide better integration between this solution and all other kinds of systems."
"The setup is very complex."
"It is a good solution, except for the cost."
"We have concerns about the write performance. We would also like it to be easier to scale out, to add more boxes to the system. And we want improved performance, to use a next-generation NFS service."
"The major weakness in the solution is that there is no cloud version for Dell ECS."
"The tool should provide more options like other cloud services. Also, it should improve scalability with the free version."
"The price of the subscription is too high and excludes some potential customers."
"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."
"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."
"There's one app I have to install on my device, the Articulate Player app. It's only available on Apple and Android, but it's not available for Windows. I can't run the program on my desktop, to use it to learn Java."
"The solution requires tighter integration capabilities."
"Oracle Cloud could be improved with better third-party integrations."
"With the Oracle Cloud Platform, they have to give first some proper documentation with a step-by-step process. Then the customer is able to use it properly. Nowadays, the Oracle Cloud Platform requires lots of floor work."
