The solution's reporting part is not good and needs more development. We get unpredictable errors when we use it. OIC needs to be developed because it is limited. For example, you can't make huge data migrations and data integrations with it. It is hard to make a report because you can't use an SQL browser. All the other third-party products are not free, and you need to pay for them. Using Oracle's internal reporting solution for running SQL statements is a waste of time.

In the region where I work, there's a perception that it's too expensive. I believe pricing is a crucial area that needs assessment. They should consider improving the pricing strategy to make it more appealing and effective, especially to attract new customers and buyers in this region.

The product needs to increase its possibilities to have a dynamic dashboard and the capacity to improve to create some reports. The solution's structure for me is very quite old, making it hard for me to create a dynamic dashboard. In general, the dynamic dashboard and reporting capacity are areas in the product that need improvement. The product's technical support is an area with shortcomings that need improvement. I need to spend a lot of time on the product's documentation to find the product's usability and capacity. Though I don't contact the support team directly, I end up spending a lot of time on the support provided in the product's manual to find the use cases for which the solution is suitable.

The solution does not follow a retention policy while taking ad hoc backups. Since it does not follow the retention policy, we had to do the manual task to check the backups.
Learn what your peers think about Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). Get advice and tips from experienced pros sharing their opinions. Updated: April 2024.
One improvement that would be helpful is the addition of a replication option on their Standard Edition OD service. Currently, this option is not available, which leads many customers to move to the Enterprise edition. However, other cloud service providers, such as Amazon AWS offer replication options at a similar tier. It would be beneficial if Oracle also explored providing this option for their Standard Edition service.
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.

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.
We have a lot of challenges with OCI because we need to build functions in the application. In my data center, if we have problems we change it in the cloud so part of the applications changes making it very complicated. In our system, we have some private dates and we need to use cryptography data, however, some of the cities are very old and we need to build all the social functions in the system, again making it very complicated to put all the information into the database. In general, the systems application needs improvement.

I don't have much detailed knowledge or experience in improvement areas. I need to first be more hands-on in my approach. I need more time to learn the technology, as I'm not as comfortable with it as I am with Azure and AWS. Technical support could be a bit better. Azure and AWS offerings are on a much bigger scale. Those who use this product must be Oracle-centric, which isn't the case with the other two. Whereas Oracle seems to be geared more towards databases only and Oracle only. The analytics need to be improved.
Cloud services where you need them
Your need for sovereignty, compliance, and location-specific performance should not limit your access to the latest cloud innovations. OCI gives you access to a full portfolio of cloud services wherever you need them. With a wide range of cloud options, including on-premises, dedicated Cloud@Customer, hybrid, multicloud solutions such as Oracle Database Service for Microsoft Azure, or public cloud, OCI’s distributed cloud portfolio—available across regions...

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

The solution is expensive. So we try to use MySQL on AWS to push the data. The tool’s support could be improved.
The pricing of the solution can be improved.
