More Knack Pros →

"The feature I think should be improved is the option to rename the machines.""The most valuable features of Oracle Cloud are the ease of navigation and stability. The solution is more feature-rich and powerful than these smaller alternatives.""The solution is pretty straightforward to setup and use.""The object storage and managed backup solution are valuable.""Initial setup of databases is not a problem.""The most valuable feature of Oracle Cloud is the digital assistant.""The features allow you to connect the service solutions with the client's requirements.

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Pros →

Cons
"The user interface for the systems that you build can use some improvement because as it is now, you have to do a lot of HTML and CSS to make it look modern."

More Knack Cons →

"The solution requires tighter integration capabilities.""Portability of the VMware environment into the Oracle Cloud should be made more simple.""Managed services for Postgres are not available in Oracle Cloud.""Database instances and computer storage are areas with shortcomings in the product that need improvement.""The configuration through the cloud is complicated. It's not straightforward.""I work with many clouds and I would say, in comparison, others have a better presentation of services and they have clearer steps in terms of implementation.""More technical papers could be published to help out professionals.""The packaging part of the software needs improvement. It lacks customization abilities for users. Giving them VMs for machine learning or running their own programs like Azure and Amazon, for example. Things like scalability based on the requirement of the tools. Oracle still lacks these kinds of things. For example, if you need a VM from Oracle, you need to pay for a monthly fee. They started developing containership but it's still at the initial stage and it's still lacking. They also need to develop integration between packages."
