Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Excellent technical support.""The product's framework is good, it integrates well with API Connect, and the private cloud allows for use in any location.""Our core banking process was monolithic. To address this, we transitioned to a microservices-based architecture. Leveraging Microsoft technologies, including Terminals version 23, we’ve revamped our banking operations. Not all services are microservices; some remain monolithic for simplicity. Containerization is pivotal, with OpenShift (based on Kubernetes and Docker) managing our microservices.""We have control of the ESXi.""The most valuable attribute is the platform's ability to consistently deliver high reliability."

"The object storage and managed backup solution are valuable.""Oracle offers more of the basic functionality needs.""It has improved my company by cutting my time to market.""The most valuable feature is the reporting service.""The product is scalable.""The initial setup was straightforward.""We have not had any downtime using the solution.""I find the Single Sign-On, SSO, feature to be valuable."

Cons
"Auto-scaling and managing pod scaling in the microservices architecture, a core feature of IBM Cloud Private, can pose challenges, especially when dealing with larger volumes of traffic.""lacking in multi-cloud management.""One issue with the solution is latency because there is lag time when we connect.""The support and pricing need to improve.""I've noticed that the satellite services layer requires some improvement compared to platforms like Azure or Microsoft. While it's in development, I believe the satellite layer has room for enhancement. Additionally, the DevOps layer could benefit from closer integrations, especially for using external applications like Jenkins."

"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.""The customization and the requests put through were not flexible enough.""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.""Simplifying the cloud management console would be really valuable for small and large customers alike.""They could add more features.""With Oracle you have to create your own roles and it is more complex.""Nowadays, every SR is referred to Oracle Cloud Connect without a person actually handling the customer.""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."

    Overview

    IBM Cloud Private is a private cloud platform for developing and running workloads locally. It is an integrated environment that enables you to design, develop, deploy and manage on-premises, containerized cloud applications behind your firewall. It includes the container orchestrator Kubernetes, a private image repository, a management console and monitoring frameworks.

    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. With a wide range of cloud options, including on-premises, dedicated Cloud@Customer, hybrid, multicloud solutions such as Oracle Database Service for Microsoft Azure, or public cloud, OCI’s distributed cloud portfolio—available across regions worldwide—solves your toughest business challenges.

    Optimize enterprise applications without costly rearchitecture

    When modernizing your enterprise apps, abandoning core technology isn’t feasible or necessary for success. OCI is built to address the unique requirements of performance-sensitive on-premises applications and other traditional enterprise apps—scale-up architectures, ultralow-latency networks, built-in security, and clustering of resources for availability in the cloud without risky and costly application refactoring. Additionally, OCI's specialized migration tools and programs facilitate easy transitioning.

    Build and run cloud native or third-party apps with open source tools

    Modern enterprises deserve the flexibility and freedom to choose from the various frameworks, clouds, and services available. Be it Postgres, SQL Server, Windows Server, VMware, or Kubernetes, OCI services are designed to easily run third-party, open source applications or to build cloud native applications. Our broad open source partner ecosystem enables you to bring apps to market faster, easily innovate, and scale.

    Harness your data to uncover new business value

    Data drives your business. Whether you’re building next-gen social applications or online games or seeking better outcomes from decades of healthcare data, making data work is getting harder. OCI services such as Oracle MySQL Heatwave and Oracle Autonomous Database service support all your data models, remove data silos, converge data for efficiency, and analyze data—helping you unlock business potential without sacrificing security and governance controls.
