Cons
"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.""Portability of the VMware environment into the Oracle Cloud should be made more simple.""The price of the subscription is too high and excludes some potential customers.""There's a need for further customization to unlock the platform's full potential.""The solution is expensive""The pricing is a bit expensive.""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.""This service is very specific to Oracle and we cannot have other types of workloads on Oracle Cloud."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Cons →

"It doesn't offer Elastic IP like AWS. And also we can't configure our server based on region.""It would be nice to have more built-in suites compared to others. It would enable easier integration."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Make sure you read the fine print."
  • "My ROI has increased."
  • "It's not that expensive. I think it's maybe half or one-fourth of our actual on-prem cost, especially in Oracle Data Integrator. It's pretty cheap. Maybe around $30,000 or $40,000 per month."
  • "Costing depends on if you have an existing license for the application and for the operating system."
  • "The cost may be a bit high for many potential users."
  • "The pricing is a little bit expensive compared to other products."
  • "Improvements can be made with respect to flexibility in the licensing model."
  • "There is a subscription cost rather than licensing for this product."
