Reviews
(26-50 of 114)If you're not using Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, you should check it out - it's no cost, risk-free, and may surprise you
More specifically, we have over 100 retail outlets with individual point-of-sale and medical dispense applications and their data, and use Oracle Cloud Infrastructure to aid us in aggregating data for corporate reporting, for analysing and mining data, and also for managing promotional pricing back to stores.
- 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
- This may be kind of obvious, but Oracle Cloud Infrastructure favours Oracle's own database products and there is limited opportunity to use, say, SQL Server as a serverless/managed database product. Thus if you use Oracle Cloud Infrastructure but want a non-Oracle DB you may need to run it on your own VM or migrate to something else
- Other hyperscalers, such as GCP, have a greater focus/emphasis on AI and models, and this is something Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is not yet as well-established in
- Other hyperscalers, such as Azure, have greater unification around its data/BI products and tools than Oracle Cloud Infrastructure currently has
Additionally, it is well-suited for any organisation that may require non-standard machine types - such as small CPU but lots of RAM, or vice-versa, because you can create your own machine shapes.
Further, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is well-suited for companies that want to get into the cloud and are concerned by costs because Oracle Cloud Infrastructure has a generous always-free tier that provides for some small machines and databases at no cost. For small web apps it's a no-brainer, really.
However, where Oracle Cloud Infrastructure may be well less-suited is if you have a mature, expert engineering team who are, say, Microsoft-focused or with a lot of AWS experience because there may be a learning curve to get up to speed on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.
- scaling up when demand hits
- easy configuration
- solid front-end support.
- In my opinion, the learning curve is relatively steep.
- Oracle Cloud Infrastructure will take time to implement and tune
- Pricing strategy could be better defined and explained.
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is an enterprise-ready solution, so I don't think it would be appropriate for a smaller shop looking to migrate to the cloud. Too much of a learning curve along with a confusing pricing strategy would turn me off for smaller companies.
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure works just how you need it and will be worth paying for in the long run.
- transactions
- cloud processes
- cost optimization
- understanding their products
Oracle Cloud should be your first choice for cloud hosting.
- Excellent reliability.
- Good compatibility.
- Great cost-benefit ratio for ARM servers.
- Windows hosting is not as good as Azure.
- Documentation is not as good as AWS.
- Configuration can be overwhelming at first.
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure for Oracle Database Services.
- Autonomous database.
- Oracle Database Base service.
- We can start with the small size of the Oracle Database scale-up as demand grows as opposed to the On-Premise Oracle Database setup.
- No upfront investment in Oracle Database.
- The latest and greatest feature is firstly available in the OCI for Oracle Database.
- Costs are still high for using the Oracle Database.
- Oracle Cloud is still lacking lots of good features which is available in the clouds like Azure, AWS, or GCP.
- There should be open-source options & services available in the OCI.
Great for the free tier!

OCI vs the other guys.
- Classic infrastructure ran well.
- Common modules are easily accessible.
- It wasn't overpriced compared to competitors.
- 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.
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure from Support Side.
- Workshop environments for personal training.
- Customer infrastructure for Oracle database systems.
- Fusion middleware environments.
- DRP Environments for on-premise.
- Networking configurations.
- Oracle RAC DB systems deployment wizard.
- Oracle OCI cloud SHELL.
- Delivery message for free tier.
This is the best experience ever with cloud computing from 4 years of experience working as software developer.
- Computer instance with arm processors and a lot of distro linux.
- Very good price.
- SLA, which others companies don't offer.
- I think OCI can improve their courses area, with more beautiful presentations and straight-to-end goals. I think it's a good idea to hire some influencers to develop some applications in OCI, it will be a very good idea in understanding the basics.
- High availability.
- Competitive price offering.
- Good Salesforce and support.
- We did not like the console setup and functions.
- Event being competitive, prices were higher than AWS.
- Lack of cloud native functions.
Oracle DBA EBS tool
DBA EPM EBS etc.
Mostly used for Purchasing, sales, HR and employee management.
- User friendly
- Good gui
- Easy to understand
- Less complex
- Good market exposure
- Records for making changes
- Change history
- Sometimes lacking the updated data fetching when final reports were pulled. It still showing precious data
- More familiar in the market
Oracle OCI services utilization & future
- optimize for Oracle workloads
- low price cost
- get good support for app development
- more integration features with other cloud services
- complicated configurations
- less knowledge posts on OCI to search when facing issues
- Strong IAM policies
- Good Oracle Support
- Easy to use
- Location based access control
- Casb is new and weak
Honest unbiased opinion.
- CASB
- WAF
- Logging
- scalability
- cost
- integrations
Great for large companies, reporting could improve.
- Speedy loading.
- Helpful hints.
- Easy storage.
- Autonomous guiding is more user-friendly. The setup is kind of complicated but the use afterward could be cleaned up.
- Custom application database usage could be more accessible.
- Security for applications to improve or update frequently. Lots of breaches and changes lately with data protection.
Growing pains, a great cloud platform experience.
- Centralized financial reporting
- Procurement and Fulfillment
- Inventory Management
- Service Support - takes forever to create a support ticket
- Documentation - needs to be topic-focus structured
- Provide Feedback link - window revamps instructions and makes input details more visible.
Sunshine at Oracle Cloud
- Scaling up and down with ease
- Seamless integration with Oracle products like RDBMS, OGG, etc.
- Cost for storage
- Support - Having to continue asking for escalation in SRs is never a good practice
- VCN
- DC on the west coast
- The OCI interface is confusing and non-intuitive
- Cross-Region backup of Boot & Block volumes
- Cross-Region replication of boot & block volumes to the paired region
- Resource Manager - Managed Terraform
- File Storage - There should be native cross-region replication support
- Block Volume & Boot Volume cross-region backup - it's very confusing to know the actual source volume from the backup using only the source. Either source tags of volume names should be attached to the cross-region backup
- There should be a native DR management tool, which can help to configure types of DR - Pilot Light, Warm Standby, Active-Active
- Oracle Cloud Infrastructure should provide more Linux Images like - RHEL, SUSE, Debian, Alma Linux/Rocky Linux. With native billing for RHEL & SUSE
- love the oci console , its very simple to use than before.
- oci rewards system is pretty interesting.
- oci security much better than other OEM's.
- Though the navigation has been simplified a lot I believe it can be simplified more just like AWS.
- cost details analysis gets delayed sometimes. This needs to settle.
- More insights on offerings of different services provided in OCI
- Superior Performance
- Built in security
- High Availability
- Powerful Developer tools and Built in APIs
- Services
- Integration with Services
- More Products compared to competitiors
- Better Pricing
