We performed a comparison between Microsoft Azure and Oracle Cloud Platform based on our users’ reviews in five categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: Microsoft Azure wins out in this comparison. Our reviewers agree that Microsoft Azure is a robust, easy to manage, and stable solution. Oracle Cloud Platform did come out on top in the Pricing and Ease of Deployment categories.
"Microsoft has a lot of partners in this area, and they have a lot of information available online, so it's easy to get support."
"Feature-wise, I like its stability. Also, it is easy to access the solution and its options."
"The incorporation of several kinds of storage, such as SSD Premium, enhanced the performance of machines."
"Microsoft Azure has hundred of services that they offer on the platform."
"Microsoft offers free courses and an exam on their products. Many of my colleagues who use Microsoft Azure take advantage of those free courses to help them learn about the solution in depth."
"Virtual machine services, in SaaS services, M365, and Data Lake are all popular with our clients."
"The automated connectors to some of our critical enterprise systems are an important feature. These are very large, critical, global HCM systems."
"The Azure Portal has an advantage in terms of UX making buying resources or downgrading is really easier to understand. AWS has micro, smaller functionalities whereas Azure has more end-to-end focus which makes it easier saving you time and money."
"I am impressed with the tool's upscaling and resiliency features."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the high level of performance for the databases."
"The pricing of the solution is pretty good."
"Oracle is valuable for improving performance and addressing issues between the nodes of clusters for private IPs. It provides a private connection between the client and the security cluster."
"The deployment is most valuable feature."
"The flexibility is most valuable. By having our infrastructure in the cloud, we are able to spin up instances as needed and alter the capacity as needed."
"It has improved my company by cutting my time to market."
"I like that the program is flexible. I can use it to write Java scripts. I also like the website, because it constantly updates me on things, like artificial intelligence, and the latest technology. I read the articles, on the latest technology that programmers can use."
"Dashboards and reporting could be improved."
"We have faced some challenges trying to deploy a new ESP application."
"For deploying multiple resources in a big number, such as in hundreds, we need a streamlined process and more user-friendly scrips. The scripts have to be more user-friendly, and they should also supply some standard templates to deploy multiple resources at a time. Currently, it is very easy to deploy a couple of resources, but if you want to deploy multiple resources, it becomes complex. The material that they provide for integration with an existing on-prem data center is complex. They have to make them user-friendly. The scripts related to resource management need to be simplified."
"The authentication method only allows me to have up to 90 users, and there are 2,300 people in the company."
"The tool needs to improve its navigation."
"The tool should add an interface that is similar to AWS."
"The subscription licensing is very complex and we would like to have it simplified."
"The security feature in the solution is an area that needs to be improved."
"There's one app I have to install on my device, the Articulate Player app. It's only available on Apple and Android, but it's not available for Windows. I can't run the program on my desktop, to use it to learn Java."
"The monitoring tool and the migration from on-premise to the cloud should be much easier."
"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."
"Amazon AWS has a better solution overall."
"The product features related to the manufacturing domain must be improved."
"There should be more management automation."
"The scalability requires some improvement. This is one of the most important things they need to get better at."
"The product roadmap strategy for some of the products is not clear."
