We performed a comparison between Microsoft Azure 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)."We've got multiple tools on Azure, which is a very good feature of Azure. Our Palo Alto firewall and other things are hosted in Azure. We're using Sentinel as well, which is a security tool that is being used by our SOC teams. I've also used AWS, and I find Azure to be more Windows-driven. Although Azure is newer as compared to AWS, it is growing fast. Microsoft is working towards the betterment of Azure."
"We like that you sign in only once and that grants access to all of the Microsft applications, as well as others such as ServiceNow and SAP Concur."
"Microsoft Azure provides good performance and support."
"The tool’s stability is good."
"The tool's most valuable aspect is the account management side. This involves tasks such as assigning credentials to different individuals, managing user accounts, and implementing Privileged Access Management."
"It's a cloud-based application, so installation is straightforward and doesn't take much time."
"The most important thing is we don't have to maintain any physical infrastructure. With typical conventional on-premise solutions, we have to maintain many things like the hardware, clusters, etc. With this cloud platform, you don't have to worry about all those things. We have the service always available, and this is the main advantage. I like that we use everything on our standard Active Directory on on-premises on Azure. The key advantage is that you can have the sole indication based on the cloud. This isn't possible with an on-premise Active Directory. This enables work from home and at the office because it's on the cloud."
"The valuable features of Microsoft Azure are that it is cloud-based and has good storage. The storage is completely managed by Azure. We do not need to do any patching of security because it is handled by Azure which is a benefit. The solution is fully compatible with the Microsoft technology stack and is very scalable."
"We use Oracle Cloud to host the OIC (Oracle Integration Cloud Service) and APEX."
"This is a highly available and scalable solution that can host both modern and legacy on-premises applications."
"The simple infrastructure of the service is very useful."
"It's a cloud, so it is easy to access anywhere."
"Oracle Cloud is reasonably scalable - I'd rate it seven out of ten."
"Oracle Cloud Platform is a good solution because with large data platforms the data migration can be a challenge and this is the reason to move and migrate towards the cloud from on-premises."
"The autonomous database functions are an excellent feature."
"The most important features are the turnkey solutions offered by Oracle. These ease the administration of Oracle Databases."
"The solution could improve by being more user-friendly."
"Potential improvements to the price calculator tool"
"Auto ML could be improved technically."
"I would prefer Microsoft Azure to increase the free trial, then developers can take advantage, and it could increase their sales."
"I'd like to see better integration with S/4HANA integrated and other services, like monitoring, for example."
"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."
"Maybe Microsoft could improve its monitoring around the networking."
"It should have cost optimization tools. Customers are required to use third-party applications to avoid usage complications."
"Lacking in additional PaaS services."
"The solution isn't very mature. The on-premises deployment has more features and the cloud needs to work to match those options."
"Since our Oracle products are on premise we cannot get the premier Oracle products."
"With Oracle you have to create your own roles and it is more complex."
"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."
"There is room for improvement for stability."
"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."
"They offer some basic services but the choice is not as rich as other cloud providers."
