OCI - Where Next Happens !!!
We have been using Oracle Database since more than 2 decades now and now as we have started our Cloud Journey the migration have been very smooth with its innovative tools and services.
- Very Cost Effective
- Better SLA
- Best Database Services
- Oracle Workload Optimization
- Support Ticket Creation and Followup
- Compared to other Cloud Service Providers like AWS, still lacking in providing many innovative products and solutions
- Administrative Portal needs to made more user-friendly
2. Best for high-performance computing which could run multiple complex simulations along with artificial intelligence as an additional addon.
3. Very well suited for the pricing factors as it has much cheaper rates compared to its competitors (though needs lacks a bit of flexibility).
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure: A Diamond in the Rough
- For apps driven by events or micro-services, Oracle Functions by Oracle Cloud Infrastructure presents a serverless computing choice. It lets programmers bypass server management when running code, streamlining app development, and deployment.
- The Oracle Cloud Infrastructure high-performance computing is suited to a compute-intensive and large data workload. The other type is a dedicated compute-optimised instance which contains a GPU that is useful for deep learning, image processing, and scientific computations. Such resources help in quick computing and learning of models inside the organization.
- Self-driving, self-securing, and self-healing database services that come under Oracle Cloud Infrastructure autonomous database services include autonomous data warehouse and transaction processing. Database task automation can encompass regular optimization of various routines, enhancement of a DBMS, and assurance of integrity and uninterrupted access to the database.
- Pricing: While Oracle offers competitive pricing, I personally find it challenging to understand their billing statements due to complex pricing models.
- User Interface: I did not find its UI intuitive or user-friendly compared to competitors.
- Integration: Oracle Cloud Infrastructure does not provide direct service integrations with other cloud providers or with services which makes it more challenging for the users.
Cost effective cloud infrastructure platform!
- High-performance workload execution and management.
- Application load balancing and scale options.
- Flexible and low total cost of ownership.
- Documentation is sometimes not up to date and requires professional services to set things straight.
- Better cost management support - Continued automation in this area will be beneficial.
- Support an overhaul of issue submission and tracking - Operational aspects.
A cost affective way to start cloud journey!
- Database services.
- Logging
- In database machine learning.
- OCI Workflow.
- Support is not up to the mark.
- Limited options for OS images for VM.
- UI can be improved to match the competition.
- A limited number of services offered.
Great Cloud Alternative from a legacy software powerhouse!
- The auto-scaling feature in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is extremely useful during sudden spikes in volumes being processed. The load balancer works seamlessly and is easy to set up.
- Data storage and security.
- Monitoring dashboard.
- Global footprint is lacking as compared to competitors.
- Integration with more cloud solutions needed(e.g. AWS).
- Support is lacking a bit: slow response and lack of a wide community to help resolve issues.
Scalable, sturdy database infra
We use the Oracle 12c and 19c databases exhaustively for our purposes
- Oracle offers a cloud solution for database hosting available across multiple tiers which can be scaled vertically catering to various data sizes.
- Support is complete, quick and efficient
- Helpful to effect migrations from OnPrem to cloud with minimal downtime
- Largely supports SQL databases only, forcing us to find separate solutions for Mongo, Redis or similar DB providers
- The setup is complex and antiquated, requiring significant training and upkeep
- Connection into local instances is tough and often unstable, leading to significant effort spent for local testing
Highly Underrated Cloud Service Provider
- Database solutions MySQL and Oracle
- Compute services
- Low cost storage services
- Easy costing calculator
- Customer support
- More NoSql offerings
the costing is less compared to its competitors
storage services are very good and provide easy scalability and life cycle management brings in cost savings
It has fewer no sql offerings compared to other cloud providers and maybe would be good idea to bring in more in their portfolio
A great cloud services provider to maintain redundancy
- security wise as OCI has advanced secure framework
- performance wise as OCI provided high GPU instances to manage high level of throughput
- overall database services as it is the core component which is integrated well within OCI
- They could work on making it less complex and making it easy for users diverting from other cloud services
- Should add more services with multiple options as provided by other cloud systems
- Integration with with other apps as we cannot move everything to OCI at once , so it should be more compatible with ongoing apps.
Oracle Infrastructure to Start
We have a small office with employees in various locations so data was always accessible.
- It does extend our business services on various platforms
- Security has been improved for our product development.
- Programs can also be run in the cloud making our traveling employees more productive.
- Small businesses often find the complexities burdensome.
- Security is high but if a breach occurs there is a lack of back up controls.
- Training can be improved as it offers a once over to IT. This leads to further review to users.
Review for OCI (Oracle Cloud Infrasturcture)
- Reliability
- Advanced security
- Automated Tuning
- Global Availability of Datacenters
- Integration with third-party services
- User interface
- Community support
- Our sites are pretty heavy on the content site per page, but Oracle Cloud Infrastructure performs excellently when serving them up to our clients i.e. high availability
- Efficiency of Oracle Cloud Infrastructureis very high and the performance is always at an average of 99%. The 1% being the occasional maintenance
- Monitoring system provided by Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is to the point and comprehensive
- There is a bit of learning curve. But I guess this is true for any service
- Could be a little cost effective. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is really expensive on an enterprise level in my opinion.
- The Cloud Support sometimes decrease the priority of open tickets to increase the SLA I beleive. Now that's bad, in my opinion.
- Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Network Function Virtualization provides a secure and scalable environment for experimentation which enable performance and feasibility assessment of a service
- Robust Security Features, including Identity and Access Management (IAM) and encryption
- Ability to scale resource up or down on-demand eliminating significant upfront costs
- Uniformity in design and user experience across all services to improve usability
- more comprehensive step-by-step guides and usecase-specific tutorials
- built-in cost monitoring enhancement for more proactive and control in expenses management
See how Oracle Cloud Infrastructure ease my problem
- Socket Connections
- Devops deployment
- Source code management
- Load Balancers
- Logging
- The user interface is not too good, It has bandwidht to improvement.
- Loading of the Logs is little bit slower
- Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is little bit costly as compair to others
since we are providing solution to our clients therefore, we worked with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.
Our client wanted to Migrate On-premise workload to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.
- easy to deploy resources
- different compute devices are available to choose from
- Most of the resources will be ready within few minutes
- User interfaces are not attractive
- They should implement Quota capacity in each subscription by default.
- Increase foot-print
- Easy to use
- Cost is less compare to other public cloud
- support is excellent
- Most of the resources/tools are available
Less suited:
- For Oracle Cloud Infrastructure internal issue they are not publishing outrage notification for the client
- Quota capacity is not enable by default
- Easy to setup
- Easy to add new instances
- Easy to maintain
- It would be nice to be able to have more control about what is needed for a specific instance
- Price is always important
Ease of Storage and Migration at an affordable cost
1-Data storage management
2-Email Delivery
Storage Management- It's amazing; the setup can be done with ease. Extremely good UI and is very intuitive. Also, the service is really secure and reliable to store a large volume of data with security.
For Emails- We can easily send marketing or transactional emails in bulk without worrying about spam or bounced emails. We can easily maintain or track all the communications without spending a lot of time on it.
Our company runs a lot of marketing campaigns, and at that time, this tool comes in handy, which can help us send emails in bulk without spending a lot of time on it.
- Better Email delivery rates for bulk marketing or transactional campaigns
- Better cloud storage with enhanced security
- Cost-effective campared to other partners
- Cloud servies and back-up is good too
- In my experience, at times fetching the report after marketing campaigns becomes difficult to navigate
- the time taken to fetch a report is approx 5 minutes which can be improved
- In my opinion, technical support is not impressive
