We performed a comparison between Alibaba Cloud and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Oracle and others in Infrastructure as a Service Clouds (IaaS)."It's easy to use, cheaper than other solutions, and more secure."
"What's good about Alibaba Cloud is its database service. It's also good in the virtual machine area."
"The most valuable feature of Alibaba Cloud is the communication it allows between two servers."
"It is easy to set up."
"We use the solution to run VMs."
"Alibaba support is responsive. When we create tickets in the Alibaba portal, they usually respond online or call me in five minutes."
"Alibaba Cloud allows for easy setup of mirror sites and backup servers, ensuring data redundancy and high availability."
"Feature-wise, it provides many features. ECS, VM, SP, bucket object storage, and databases are the most valuable."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Cloud is the digital assistant."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the Interface."
"Overall, I would say that Oracle Cloud provides support with zero down time and the high probability is very good."
"The most valuable feature is that it offers several adaptors."
"Our recommendations are good, and we also have a bidding platform that is helpful for managed service providers. This platform can save customers up to 2-3 weeks in billing time, from 25 days to 3-4 days. We have two products: a basic product and a cloud optimization product. Both products help customers improve the performance and cost-efficiency of their cloud environments."
"The most valuable part of the Oracle Cloud Platform is the ability to develop applications that help us migrate information from on-prem to the cloud."
"It is more secure and more controlled than an on-premises deployment."
"What I like best about Oracle Cloud is that it is an all-in-one system for everything."
"From the improvement point of view, there are lots of issues that we are facing. In all the areas, it seems like it is not mature. For example, a customer wants to provision some VM that has many configurations. If I want to show the price to the customer, it is very challenging. The SDK that Alibaba has provided is very limited. We can have the pricing for VM, but we cannot have pricing for RDS databases or some other services. This is a big concern area for us. They should put more effort into the SDKs or APIs that they provide, for example, pricing APIs or pricing SDK. They do not provide support for most of the services they provide. For example, if I want to get the price of MongoDB, that SDK is not available from Alibaba. Similarly, robust API support is required for S3, which is OSS or Object Storage, so that we can read the data in a faster manner, for example, in chunks. We have raised many issues with the Alibaba support team, and they have been fixing the issues after we report them."
"The flexibility of the solution could be improved."
"The solution should have more integration."
"Alibaba Cloud needs to increase availability in Thailand."
"From a performance point of view, Huawei and Azure are faster. Alibaba isn't as good."
"Users use websites as a tutorial. However, the Alibaba Cloud website has the content, and the scripts are copied from Amazon Web Services. We had received customer feedback where the customer asked us to get formulate original content instead of copying from Amazon Web Services. It’s very odd and awkward."
"It is not robust."
"The solution name is not favorable in some markets and could cause us some problems gaining customers."
"The Oracle Cloud platform remains complex, and despite the abundance of resources available, significant challenges can still arise during the migration process from a legacy or on-premise system. Conversely, smaller companies with less complicated systems, such as those with a two million budget, can migrate more easily."
"The deployment from on-premises to the cloud is a bit complicated."
"The product's technical support is an area with shortcomings that need improvement."
"The scalability requires some improvement. This is one of the most important things they need to get better at."
"The solution's reporting part is not good and needs more development."
"Some of the features of this solution, such as the digital assistant, require extensive configuration before they are suitable for use. We would like these to be made more straightforward and to require less manual input."
"The solution is expensive. So we try to use MySQL on AWS to push the data. The tool’s support could be improved."
"Oracle support could be better; we had cases where certain regions experienced specific issues and received little help from Oracle."
