This has meant that we don't need to change all of our systems to accommodate it within our network.""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 most valuable feature of Oracle Cloud is its autonomous database.""What I like best about Oracle Cloud is that it is an all-in-one system for everything.""The features allow you to connect the service solutions with the client's requirements. It is user-friendly, easy to navigate and provides assistance.""The simple infrastructure of the service is very useful."

Cons
"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.""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.""The AI capabilities and the power automate platform that Azure is offering seem to be way ahead of what Oracle is offering.""Since our Oracle products are on premise we cannot get the premier Oracle products.""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.""In general, the systems application needs improvement.""The initial setup can be made easier and the technical support team should give faster responses. Oracle can introduce the VPN service that can be directly connected to the machine and perform work directly on the server. This feature can help users.""It does require some training in order to be able to use it effectively."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Cons →

"Pivotal Cloud Foundry could improve on the technology it is a bit complex.""Pivotal Cloud Foundry could improve the documentation. They are good, but they could improve more. Additionally, it would be beneficial if there were more use case examples.""I'd like to see a larger service offering.""Pivotal Cloud Foundry doesn't have certain advanced features.""The Pivotal Cloud Foundry's initial setup has a learning curve for my team, but it was easy to use.""In the next release, I would like to see easy integration with external tools.""In the next release, they should offer additional applications for the databases, and improve the deployment experience.""The user interface should be simpler to navigate because it t can take time for users to learn it."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Make sure you read the fine print."
  • "My ROI has increased."
  • "It's not that expensive. I think it's maybe half or one-fourth of our actual on-prem cost, especially in Oracle Data Integrator. It's pretty cheap. Maybe around $30,000 or $40,000 per month."
  • "Costing depends on if you have an existing license for the application and for the operating system."
  • "The cost may be a bit high for many potential users."
  • "The pricing is a little bit expensive compared to other products."
  • "Improvements can be made with respect to flexibility in the licensing model."
  • "There is a subscription cost rather than licensing for this product."
  • More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Licensing is on a monthly basis and right now we pay $24/month. There are no other costs over and above that."
  • "You're paying for the number of virtual machines you want to install in the installation."
  • "The price of Pivotal Cloud Foundry is based on the customer's requirements. However, the price is comparable to other similar solutions."
  • "The price of Pivotal Cloud Foundry could improve. However, in this category of solutions, they are all expensive."
  • "The pricing is on the higher side and there are cheaper options available."
  • "We do pay for the licensing cost because we have opted for a private cloud setup. So, it is a cloud setup, and we have to make payments based on the cloud size. I do not consider it very costly when comparing it to the market."

    Overview

    Cloud services where you need them

    Your need for sovereignty, compliance, and location-specific performance should not limit your access to the latest cloud innovations. OCI gives you access to a full portfolio of cloud services wherever you need them.
