Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Reviews

The solution is used for syncing all the information from our On-Premises Data Centre to the Oracle CI. We are using Oracle Infrastructure as a service.

We are not using any features offered by OCI but only using virtual machines. So our data only syncs from our On-premises to cloud. The compute and performance are better than other cloud solutions.

The initial setup can be made easier and the technical support team should give faster responses.

Oracle can introduce the VPN service that can be directly connected to the machine and perform work directly on the server. This feature can help users.

I have been using Oracle Cloud Platform for more than four years.

It is a stable solution. I rate the stability a nine out of ten.

For its scalability, there should be provision that we can build a scale up or down scale on a running system.Whenever we scale up or down scale, we have to shut down the system and then apply it to do the configuration. I rate the scalability an eight out of ten.

The technical support is very slow. Recently, I raised a concern for MFA but did not get any response for eight days. After I escalated it to the manager I got a response. I rate the support a five out of ten.

Neutral

The initial setup is very complex. I have faced difficulty configuring a new region. We already deployed from one region to another region, but I faced a lot of the problem when configuring the new region.Another issue that I was faced was when I am allowing any other server or any other IP, to access from the effectuation basis but there is no feature to allow me chose the server by server name. There should be a provision to allow firewall by server name or you can set the domain name. But at present its only based on IP.

As the solution is a bit expensive, the Return On Investment will take one to two years to show.

Oracle Cloud Platform is a bit costly. You can always bring your own license or subscribe to the SaaS option, but the SaaS option is very costly.

I rate the pricing a six out of ten.

I rate the overall solution an eight out of ten.

I am using the solution to design small applications for InfoGSM and determine if they can convert to business sales. I do not have any active use cases at this point in time. 

The solution is pretty straightforward to setup and use.

The pricing is a bit expensive. 

I have been using the solution for six years. 

The solution is stable. 

The solution is scalable. 

I have not contacted technical support. 

I have not used other solutions. 

The setup is straightforward. 

I implemented the solution on my own to design small test applications. 

The license is a bit expensive for academic work. 

My company has not yet purchased the solution. It would require a bit of funding for them to purchase the solution in the future. 

I recommend the solution and rate it an eight out of ten.

Right now we're using two cloud platforms, one being Oracle Cloud Platform and the other Microsoft Azure. We've been using Oracle Cloud Platform since 2018 and Azure since 2015.

We use Oracle Cloud Platform with the OCI Infrastructure as a Service offerings, and we're essentially using it for the compute instances and nothing else. We have deployed some servers running Oracle Linux which are being used as our main development environment. Then, we also have servers for our UAT (User Acceptance Testing) environment. Neither of these use cases are for production environments, and they are only used for development and testing.

To access Oracle Cloud Platform, we have a VPN site-to-site connection from our site to Oracle Cloud. We don't have the FastConnect option because we don't have a very good reason to use it.

As for users, we typically have around 20 people who are connected to the Oracle environment and who do their work on it. Regarding maintenance, we have three people on technical staff for that, who are DBAs and architects.

It hasn't improved our organization in a direct, or highly visible, way because we only use it for development and testing. However, I enjoy the ease with which we are able to deploy Oracle Linux server instances and other Oracle products. 

I like having the ability to easily run Oracle Linux server instances and to deploy Oracle Middleware and WebLogic servers. Oracle's Infrastructure as a Service products are also very useful, and we're using those right now within Oracle OCI.

I think that there could be a more user-friendly environment when it comes to the options that Oracle presents through the Oracle Cloud Platform.

Also, when you compare it to Microsoft Azure Marketplace, there aren't as many options to choose from, and some features are not available in some operating systems. In particular, I'd like to see more readily-available features such as Fusion Middleware as a service, in the same way that they have WebLogic as a service within OCI.

I have been using Oracle Cloud Platform for the last three years.

It's very stable, especially when it comes to accessing the Oracle Cloud Platform through VPN.

It's very scalable and we haven't had any issues in that regard.

We have not previously used a similar solution to Oracle Cloud Platform. We started with Oracle Cloud Platform because we were already using Oracle products and we decided that deploying Oracle products on Oracle Cloud Platform would be a more sensible idea than deploying on other cloud solutions.

The setup was very straightforward and it only took one to two days for the initial deployment.

We used Oracle consultants through Oracle's ACS, along with three technical personnel including DBAs and architects.

On a monthly basis, we pay around $2,500 for licensing fees, with no additional costs. We do pay extra licensing for other on-premises solutions, but these are not related to Oracle Cloud Platform.

We're not using that many products within Oracle Cloud Platform, but nevertheless I can recommend it. Especially when it comes to the Database as a Service, which we use a lot. I can easily vouch for that if you are looking for good database performance.

In addition, if any companies or clients are currently using Oracle Database on-premises, I can certainly recommend that they migrate to Oracle Cloud Database. 

I would rate Oracle Cloud Platform an eight out of ten.

I use a lot of features of OCI. I use it for computing, for histology and for ExaCS.

I find the Single Sign-On, SSO, feature to be valuable.

The billing and right sizing for optimization of your cost in the cloud, a well architected frame. An article should be done as soon as possible to improve it. The framework from AWS is so good, I would like to see this feature in OCI.

I have been using Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Registry, OCIR, for three years.

OCI is stable. 

This solution is perfect, it works very well. Every time I need to scale some machines, they scale automatically for me. 

I never use technical support with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Registry.

The initial setup of OCI was simple. I have a lot of experience in Cloud, so it is easy for me.

For those looking at implementing OCI, I recommend you talk to others who have used  it. If you need an environment with scalability and trust for your services, OCI, you won't need to worry.

I would rate OCI a 9 out of 10.

The solution is easy to use. The user experience is very well set up. The product is easy to understand and navigate.

The deployment from on-premises to the cloud is a bit complicated.

I have been using the solution for two years.

I rate the stability a nine out of ten.

The scalability is unlimited. I rate the scalability a ten out of ten. About ten people in the organization use the product.

I rate the ease of initial setup a seven out of ten. As we go deeper into the solution, it becomes a little difficult, and we would need to refer to the documentation quite a bit. So, in the beginning, it's easy, but as we go deeper, it gets difficult.

The deployment takes about ten minutes. We need to give email and code details to have an account.

I rate the solution’s pricing an eight out of ten.

I am using the latest version of the product. The product is one of the biggest cloud supporters. If someone works with Oracle, it is definitely worth learning it. It is growing faster than other cloud supplies like Azure and AWS. Overall, I rate the product an eight out of ten.

We use the solution for EC2. It helps me to create around six servers for free to test out things. It also provides me with an authenticated cloud nameserver. We also use it as a wireguard endpoint. 

The tool should provide more options like other cloud services. Also, it should improve scalability with the free version. 

I have been working with the product for a year. 

The tool's stability is good. 

I would rate the solution's scalability a six out of ten since we have limitations to scale on the free version. I am the sole user of the tool. 

I have used the tool and I switched to Oracle Cloud since its free. 

The tool's deployment takes six months to complete. 

The solution is free to use. 

I would rate the product a seven out of ten since they don't provide much options. 

We use this solution to provide storage and management of infrastructure, as well as application hosting.

We appreciate the fact that this solution will operate with both native and third-party applications. This has meant that we don't need to change all of our systems to accommodate it within our network.

 We also find the licencing model of a single cost to be good value for money.

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.

We have been working with this solution for over six years.

We have found the stability of this solution to be extremely good in terms of uptime, availability, performance, and consistency.

The scalability of this product is good, and is actioned automatically when there is a spike in usage.

The technical support for this product is very good. The team respond quickly, and know the product features quite thoroughly.

The initial setup for this solution is very easy and straightforward.

The licenses for this solution are very comprehensive and, therefore, very economical; there is only one cost, and it covers all available features without any chargeable add-ons.

We would recommend that organizations evaluate this solution with a neutral mindset, considering their business needs above any other factors. This way they will ensure that the product they choose has features they actually need.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

I mainly use this solution for our business employee side and our cloud infrastructure.

The monitoring tool and the migration from on-premise to the cloud should be much easier.

I've been working with Oracle Cloud Platform for three years.

The stability is all right.

This solution is scalable.

The initial setup was easy. It takes just a few minutes to create a virtual machine.

The pricing is reasonable.

I would rate Oracle Cloud Platform as seven out of ten.
