Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Oracle and others in Infrastructure as a Service Clouds (IaaS)."Microsoft Azure is an optimized solution when we compare it to any other particular cloud solution."
"Good information protection feature."
"Technical support has been extremely helpful."
"The product makes it easy to spin up new environments and develop new technologies."
"In general, the entire suite of PaaS is valuable. It enables a true breakdown of IT siloes and allows an organization to embrace DevOps."
"The tool has proven to be valuable for our organization by enhancing the availability and reliability of services. Our website and several applications hosted on it now benefit from improved availability features and increased reliability."
"It's a reasonably priced solution."
"I like the ExpressRoute because that makes it easy to configure connectivity to Azure-hosted services."
"The main benefit is that you're getting all of the resources you require on a subscription base. So, you get to pay as you go instead of having to have a CAPEX, you convert your CAPEX to OPEX to cover the data center cost."
"Oracle is a very useful tool in terms of usability and customization."
"Oracle does well when it comes to data privacy and security, which are critical."
"The product helps us to use it as a central ERP and HCM."
"The scalability feature of the product is very impressive, especially considering the fact that the tool offers its users a pay-as-you-go model."
"The product is easy to use and deploy."
"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 feature of Oracle Cloud is the digital assistant."
"The interface for configuring the environment is not very intuitive. Certain things are at different places, and it is not easy to navigate. They should have a more transparent licensing model. Currently, Microsoft's licensing is a bit clunky, and it keeps changing depending on the type of subscription you have. Different features are included, and sometimes, it is very hard to figure out the right licensing. So, the commercial aspect of the licensing can be improved, and they can make it easier to understand all the features that are included."
"The cost calculation for the services can be an unclear aspect which makes it difficult to estimate the expenses incurred accurately."
"The solution could improve by being more user-friendly."
"Could be more user friendly; initial setup is difficult to understand."
"The scalability could improve."
"Microsoft Azure could improve by having the availability be 100%. Which is difficult, but not impossible."
"The permissions and controls in the product are not easy to use."
"The pricing can be reduced."
"It takes more time to release resources than one of its competitors."
"Oracle Cloud's price is very high."
"The scalability requires some improvement. This is one of the most important things they need to get better at."
"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."
"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."
"Since our Oracle products are on premise we cannot get the premier Oracle products."
"The monitoring tool and the migration from on-premise to the cloud should be much easier."
"Oracle Cloud is not a user-friendly tool. From an improvement perspective, I want Oracle Cloud to be more user-friendly."
