Likelihood to Recommend We had been slowly implementing Oracle products to replace several existing systems and so we needed a platform that would work to integrate across all of these solutions. Our company is fairly large and we work with a variety of clients and vendors as well. We needed an easier way for everyone to access information and discuss what data and future integration were most appropriate.
Read full review In our organisation we are the only team that uses Platform.sh to host any site. This was a cost effective way for us as we were using Acquia Cloud earlier for these websites. We mostly use Platform.sh for those sites which are always in development as it is simpler and faster to handle these operations in Platform.sh. Then we do a lift and shift to Acquia as we move more towards the go live and post production maintenance side.
Read full review Pros Oracle Cloud Platform can provide consistent latency guarantees in multiple geographics. It works well with Oracle Database that is being used as the primary database without the need for custom configuration. Oracle Cloud Platform has reasonable customization options to fine-tune it for workloads that require very low latency for events/transactions. Read full review As this is a PaaS it mitigates the complexities of a Cloud infrastructure like Acquia We are easily able to integrate our sites with different technologies like Python and Rest Helps us in providing Continuous Development cloud deployment hosting solution Read full review Cons Going with any Oracle Cloud Platform Solution for BI Implementation, I would prefer a strong/powerful Oracle tool to push data in Oracle Cloud Datawarehouse. There are chances of overage charges on using the Oracle Cloud Platform, if you choose to implement any services with non-allocated core CPU. So expect to give some alert before even allowing to implement any service with not allocated core CPU or remove the displaying of non-allocated CPUs for users. It can allow options where Oracle Cloud storage container username password as never expired. Read full review Platform.sh is not for beginners in my opinion. It has a good amount of learning curve in my opinion. As this is a PaaS, teams habituated with cloud infrastructure may miss the server side support from their cloud teams. I believe you will have to work on server bugs more on your own. During normal maintenance periods, integrations may fail if you are working on your sites in that time, in my experience. Read full review Alternatives Considered If you already have considerable Oracle licenses, then Oracle Cloud Platform is the best option. If most of your applications and needs are Windows-based, then
Microsoft Azure is the best choice. Google GCP is on par with Oracle Cloud Platform in various features, including global reach. Cisco Hybrid Cloud Platform is an excellent choice if you have some interesting network requirements for the application to be deployed.
Read full review In our team we use Platform.sh mostly while sites are in developmental phase. Then we do a lift and shift to either Acquia or AWS depending on the type of sites we have. Platform.sh is really cost effective and more fluid in terms of Continuous Development hence the usage. After said development is done, we generally lift and shift to Acquia for more content heavy sites and to AWS for more transaction oriented sites.
Read full review Return on Investment I only used the trial version, but I liked the rich UI experience. It was easy to understand. I liked the fact that there are a lot of apps in the app store. A lot of brands use Oracle which leads to trust. It's also scalable. As a consultant, this is something I can recommend to my customers over Amazon AWS Cloud because it has the built-in security that you don't have to buy separately. Easy to integrate. My clients are looking for a one-stop ecosystem that can be used for everything including HR, Security, Analytics, Dashboards, and user experience. This saves me time as a consultant as well. Read full review Continuous development for sites in build has been fluid Platform.sh is really cost effective when comparing to AWS or Acquia Cloud On the other side, lack of server side support demands a big learning curve from its users in my opinion.
