The most valuable features of the solution are its capabilities allowing us in our company to do certain calculations while offering dashboards. Our company also uses the product for data extraction because we don't want direct data extraction from Oracle TMS. We use the product for data extractions and delegations.

The solution is better than its previous on-premise version. The on-premise version was not flexible enough for end-user reporting requirements. The product enables users to create their own reports. It is really helpful.
View full review »The solution's most valuable features are that it is easy to use and scalable. One of the best things about Oracle Cloud is that you need not worry about the underlying infrastructure it was deployed with since it allows you to increase the capacity with just one click.
If you want more CPUs, you can increase the overall number in your environment.
View full review »Our recommendations are good, and we also have a bidding platform that is helpful for managed service providers. This platform can save customers up to 2-3 weeks in billing time, from 25 days to 3-4 days. We have two products: a basic product and a cloud optimization product. Both products help customers improve the performance and cost-efficiency of their cloud environments.
We like the accessibility. It's a cloud, so it is easy to access anywhere.
We're always on the latest version as it updates automatically. However, there are some checks or controls by respective companies. If they don't want to go on the updated version immediately, they don't need to.
The product is easy to maintain.
I love that all the things I need are in one place.
It is stable and reliable.
View full review »There are a number of features. The main feature is automation and other features like automated testing. Additionally, every three months, Oracle makes it a point to upgrade their systems, so they are not worried about being on the old systems, which is a benefit for the customers who are dealing with us.

I head the sales and marketing team. So, specifically on the feature set side, multi-tenancy is the one that I'm most familiar with. It's also the one that we found to be the most beneficial to us because it allows us to take clients that have multiple sites. For instance, one of our larger clients, which is a bank based out of South Africa, has offices in multiple countries. It allows us to multi-tenant each and create a tenant for each country within multi-tenanted architecture.

Oracle Cloud has wonderful features and offerings as a service. It's not just a pure-play cloud product or SaaS application. It has a complete suite from infrastructure to platform as a service to software as a service, and this is what I find most valuable in Oracle Cloud. For infrastructure on the cloud or infrastructure as a service on the cloud, there's OCI (Oracle Cloud Infrastructure).
Oracle Cloud is easily available. You just click it. I also found the feature of creating a landing zone valuable. Oracle Cloud is also very flexible as it lets you have a hybrid cloud model along with other cloud solutions. I also like that it offers good management on the cloud.
Oracle Cloud is ready to use as a service, and that's wonderful because the time to market is very quick.
I also like that Oracle Cloud offers high performance and high availability. A lot of people claim that there's high availability in their companies' cloud operations, but technically speaking, pure high availability in today's context is found in Oracle Cloud.

OCI is a cloud computing service, not an appliance. It offers various services, including database management, storage, networking, and more, which are crucial for any organization's IT infrastructure. Oracle Database is widely used and robust database management system. OCI offers various services beyond database management. Other available databases and cloud platforms may suit different organizational needs.
Storage is indeed a critical aspect of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. The technology and security measures implemented within OCI's storage services are highly advanced and provide extensive scalability, reliability, and data protection capabilities. The management tools offered for OCI's storage services are unparalleled and offer robust features for efficient storage administration.

The strength of this product is that they have many good database options, compared to other vendors. In particular, they provide various Oracle database options, which is a unique offering. They offer multiple versions of their own database so that customers have a lot of choices.
Another advantage to Oracle Cloud is the pricing. First, the cost of the basic service is not expensive. Second, the data-out pricing is very liberal. A lot of other vendors charge heavily for getting data out of the platform, but Oracle's policy is very attractive for many customers.

It's a very robust solution, especially for the environment that you move onto the cloud. It's quick and easy to access, and easy to manage.
Everything is governed by Oracle itself, including backups, and policies.
The environment is super fast so you get all the underlying machines behind the data. It's a good processing machine, especially in the Generation Two Cloud.
The solution makes it easy to access testimonial articles, etc.
There's an autonomous database, which is very useful. It's very efficient and easy to use and allows users to spend more time in other areas other than backup and recovery.
Pricing is very competitive. You are getting a good stack in Oracle because you're getting exit data and the backend along with the real application clusters, etc.
