Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution's technical support is really good.""The APEX solution is the most interesting part of the Oracle Developer Service. APEX is the most cost-effective and most popular service for developers. Kubernetes and Docker services are also important and very much cost-effective, and helpful for developers. If we compare Oracle to other cloud services providers, they'll also be cost-effective. The financial involvement is also a good point because other cloud services charge for Docker and Kubernetes solutions. Oracle's offering is almost free. They only charge for the VM or virtual machine. This is also an interesting part for the developers as well."

"I found the ease of use most valuable in the Salesforce Platform. I also found the platform pretty light.""The activities, opportunities, follow-up of the opportunities, and business tracking are valuable features. It provides everything that we need. It works pretty well.""We also use Salesforce to find trends to make informed decisions in terms of events and marketing campaigns.""We use this solution to track customer activities, opportunities and contact information.""The most valuable feature of the solution is its overall ability to manage everything, including the sales pipeline and quick creation of sales reports.""There are no major performance issues in the solution.""Salesforce is a phenomenal application. It's very diverse.""What I like about the Salesforce Platform, in particular, its enterprise edition is that apart from its many features, you can have a wider view of the customers, a 360-degree view. I also enjoy managing opportunities in the Salesforce Platform a lot because it's easier and gives you a wider view, compared to HubSpot."

Cons
"t would be better if the open-source databases were managed. Some managed services for open-source databases are available in other cloud solutions, but Oracle doesn't have any. They should provision more managed services for open-source databases like MongoDB and PostgreSQL. These types of managed database services should be available in Oracle Cloud Service and others. There are other technical issues like the CDN network that is not directly configured to Oracle and needs support from a third party. There are also some services available in AWS and Azure that should be included in Oracle Cloud Service.""Improvements are needed in terms of the usage of the map chart and risk management services."

"This platform is indeed on the expensive side.""Its documentation and price should be better.""The reporting needs improvement and the dashboard could have more components added.""Pricing is the biggest factor. The cost right now is too high and I've had a lot of clients leave.""Salesforce Platform could improve by having better integration with Microsoft Azure. For development, we use Microsoft Azure and there was proper integration between the two solutions. We had issues with the customer and they were logged into the Salesforce Platform. We did not have any good way of integrating those issues into the R&D. The R&D mainly uses Microsoft Azure.""UI needs to be more intuitive and user friendly.""Salesforce's mobile app could be better. Also, it could integrate more seamlessly with Gmail.""Integration needs improvement."
