Oracle Java Cloud Service Reviews

It is easy to deploy and manage. The app server setup is intuitive and easy to follow.

It offers easy provisioning. We were able to get a server up and running in an hour.

I would like to see more monitors for standard edition

We have been using this solution for a year.

There were no deployment issues.

There were no stability issues.

Our primary use cases include:

• deployment of the Java EE applications on a scalable cloud environment
• leveraging the built-in DevOps capability for managing the application lifecycle
• quick provisioning of environment (non-production), on an as-needed basis.

• Operational overhead and expenses have been reduced due to easy provisioning and decommissioning of dev/test environments.
• Application lifecycle management has become easier with built-in DevOps capabilities.

• Easy provisioning and scalability
• Seamless integration capabilities
• High-availability and ease of management

Since most of our applications are Oracle ADF based on WebCenter, supporting a complete lift and shift of such complex Java EE would help us become completely cloud-based for our web channels.

The primary use case for Oracle Java Cloud Service was to increase the productivity of developers and project managers by leveraging the agility of cloud.

The Oracle Java Cloud Service has enabled our developers to focus on what they do best: developing modern Java applications.

In addition, more projects that meet clients' expectations can be completed, increasing our revenues.

Speeds up delivery of projects, making for satisfied clients.

Customer service could be improved.

We are running different applications with different development technology on Oracle Java Cloud Service.

As for technologies, we are running both Oracle Forms applications and Oracle ADF applications on Oracle JCS. These applications are human resources management systems, accounting, portfolio management systems, and document management systems. All these systems are developed in-house and all of them are integrated with Oracle Documents Cloud Service in a way that the documents are linked to the database records and the user can access the document related to the transaction.

We are working in a "hot" region. Most Middle East countries have conflicts and wars. We are able to move from one country to another one, so this solution gives us availability. We can access our database and application any time, anywhere at no additional cost.

Backing up and recovery for my domain are very easy and fast. In addition, applying patches and undoing applied patches is effective and easy to do.

The product is satisfactory but we need more training on managing the machine itself. For example, how do we add more storage, how do we extend a specific portion? I would like to see videos illustrating some of the technical tasks that we often need to do.

The product is very good, fine-tuned, and stable. Support is available 24/7 and is really fast and effective. However, it is somewhat expensive, so I rate it at eight out of 10.

The most valuable features of Oracle Java Cloud Service is the ability to develop applications on-premise, using well know IDEs (Oracle JDeveloper in our case) with the possibility to quickly deploy it to the cloud-based WebLogic Server. Also, the possibility to run applications that were initially deployed to IBM WebSphere albeit with some re-configuration and adjustments.

Fast, rapid and agile development and deployment of an ADF application (within Proof-of-Concept project) involves four developers in a distributed team (across two different time-zones) and through this they are able to cooperate quickly, without the usual problems of dev/test environment deployments.

We now have the ability to very quickly develop/modify and deploy applications (e.g. Proof of Concept, demos etc.) with a geographically distributed team using agile methodologies whilst avoiding environment specific problems such as long-time delays to restore an environment at a specific point in time, at the same time.

It needs to have the ability to create a service with the same name as another one when the initial creation failed as sometimes it's necessary to have a service with exact name. As far as I know, this problem is indicated as a "known issue" by Oracle, but this point is really needed sometimes.

You need to look into the Oracle Coherence optional offer as the description is not absolutely clear in some of the articles for beginners.

My primary use case for OJCS includes Java EE applications and ADF web sites on Weblogic Server running on cloud. They have added advantage of high availability and cloud-level security. Further implementations of middleware integration can be accomplished using Oracle SOA CS or Integration Cloud Service.

The concerns of server failure and unplanned downtime have been notably reduced. The automated features of auto-purging in 12c helps clear disk space on a routine basis.

• Getting to choose the Virtual Machine configurations while setting up the server, which is an automated process.
• The ability to manage security and access the server from any location with complete security using SSH is perfect for performing crucial tasks, even while travelling.
• OJCS can seamlessly connect to other cloud offerings like Oracle Database Cloud Service, Oracle Developer Cloud Service, Oracle Storage Cloud Service, etc. 
• The auto-backup, incremental backup and restoration features can be invaluable for management.

Most of the features provided are well designed and implemented. I'd like to learn more about WebLogic Server for solutions to help identify and resolve stuck threads.

I think it's pretty fast and, I feel, competent because the company is pretty big and things seem to be secure.

Reduces man-hours and speeds up business operations.

I feel like everything's running perfectly, so I don't have any improvements at the moment. But in terms of future features I would like it to be more helpful on the social media and marketing side.

It's stable. Durable. Can't break it.

It has scaled well.

Usually I'll just go to the contact list, either in email form or in a chat room. I think they are pretty efficient, speedy, and helpful if we have any incidents that happen on the server. It's pretty speedy customer service.

Make sure you network more. Get to know the techniques of the technology of Oracle and just expand it throughout your business and enlighten your employees.
