AWS Backup vs. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure

There is a cost involved with data retrieval. AWS Backup is truly that, a backup. If you need to access this data on a regular basis, there are better options out there. For long term, just in case incremental backups, AWS [Backup] checks all the boxes. Just set it up, start your backups, and rest assured your data is safe.

I just cannot be very objective. I received the request from management to perform an in-depth research on Oracle Cloud migration feasibility. Long hours of investigation and I concluded that yes, that's a superior product, not only for its IaaS but the Data management, automation and monitoring tools. Oracle recovered its place in the field with a very competitive product. I just got fascinated with it.

• Backups - it's what it does.

• Oracle Cloud Infrastructure has a generous free tier, moreso than other hyperscalers, with an always-free tier that guarantees certain products are always free
• Oracle Cloud Infrastructure allows you to size VMs with differing combinations of CPU and RAM, which is contrary to other hyperscalers that have specific pre-defined combinations only
• Oracle Cloud Infrastructure regularly provides free certification exam offers

• Not so easy to use
• A little pricey
• The backup is in the cloud; make sure to keep an offline backup (the problem of all of this kind of solution)

• Navigating the UI takes lots of getting used to. It reminds me of older GCP (just to get used to where everything is).
• Permission for different things always seemed to be more difficult than it really needed to be. Once you got them set up you were good but updating anything or creating new permissions for just about anything took longer than I thought it should.
• Based on how the buttons were laid out, it was pretty easy to delete all of your DNS records, and backing them up was not as intuitive as I'd like with the UI, but it was easy to do using a script.

Reliability: Very dependable and stable OCI services have been for the business operations.Performance: The speed and efficiency of OCI in meeting their computing and storage needs.Scalability: The ease and effectiveness of scaling resources up or down to accommodate changing demands.Security: The robustness and effectiveness of OCI's security features in protecting their data and applications.

Very easy to use and is as plug and play as you can get. There are configuration options for multiple schemas that best fits your organization.

The services & products in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure needs more improvement to beat other Cloud service providers. The price is good & Security processes are good. We are requiring to put more effort in supporting this Oracle Cloud Infrastructure than other Cloud service providers. Probably better ways are there but is not super easy to find or not super available

I have never experienced an outage, but sometimes it used to be slow, which gets solved automatically.

It's super easy to get started and deploy new stuff. The infrastructure is solid, so I can focus on building rather than worrying about tech issues. Plus, the customization options are endless—from picking the right computing resources to choosing storage and networking that fits our needs, saving us a lot of money.

Support for AWS Backup is by Amazon itself so it is solid as always. If you have a business or higher level support plan you'll have no trouble getting engineers or other staff on the job to help you with whatever comes up.

Overall it is amazing, there is always room for improvement. We have weekly updates that tend to slow the program used more and more. We had to change some reports within Oracle because the others wouldn’t load. This is tied to our payroll and the delays are causing many time constraint issues and panic. We have to create a new report when one breaks. Otherwise awesome!

Effective training provided, much data productivity while doing training

detailed and easy to understand.

Being an AWS service, AWS Backup integrates in a native way with other AWS services, providing an easy way to backup those services. Being able to create separate backup plans that meet specific business and regulatory compliance requirements provides us with capabilities to face auditing processes.

We used Microsoft Azure and Docker earlier and faced some difficulties like Microsoft Azure and Docker. Occasionally, the generation of large images can delay deployment. It is also necessary for me to admit that Microsoft Azure and Docker have a somewhat steep learning curve. Proper paperwork needs to be there. Docker has issues with performance on a number of platforms. On the other hand, OCI is easy to deploy and easy to understand.

was not part of initial purchase team. Anyways, i think unit pricing and billing frequency is good compared to other Cloud service providers, when it comes to Cloud Capital expenditure & Operational expenditure. Would be more interested in exploring more options where customers can get more cost relaxations on trying out new cloud services in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure for example a new App or a feature

I have not faced any problems yet.

Services & Infra wise is ok to use & host applications & services. Security wise also good for a Cloud service provider. It is a interesting area to explore & using it for day to day needs can be further improvised in future probably. Modern day Services like AI and Machine learning could be improved

• Being able to offer live hot storage in the cloud for production environments allows me to get more people in the creative space with vast demand for speed.
• Great integration with all my hardware, firewall and backup software was great.
• Being able to network path my files like a native drive to my computer from the cloud made the designer not complain so much able learning new stuff.

• We have migrated approximately 75 apps successfully over to the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure in the past year.
• By migrating these apps, we were able to reduce our on-prem hardware needs by 50% for a specific business unit.
• Minimizing our on-prem hardware needs has allowed us to continue our migration to the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.
