We have used Oracle Cloud Infrastructure for storing the data and for computing. Our project was data-centric, so we were storing the data with its help, The storage and retrieval of data was really fast and secured. Data Security and Privacy was really good. Performance was not affected due to its scalability feature.
  • Database Management is really easy
  • It is good for large amount of data
  • It has a good backup and failover policies
  • Its Pricing is bit high
  • Knowledge is required to work on it
It is really helpful in the scenarios of Big data and Large data where the result display takes less time to display. Its user-based role assignation helps in increased security and Privacy. It gives a broad way for analytics.
It is less suited for small-sized data requirements as the cost to output is low.

We have a client infrastructure in GCP which we migrated to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. Our main motive was to save the billing cost and in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure we achieved it by a significant margin. We use Terraform to initiate the infra consisting of multiple compute instances, managed Mysql and PostgreSQL and storage.
  • Low on Cost
  • Easy to use
  • Right scaling is convenient
  • Convenient to operate Managed Services
  • Security aspects
  • User Experience is not great
  • At times face downtime while loading the windows
Although Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is suited for Oracle clients with support of Oracle services, I would recommend it to anyone who wants to save some bucks while utilising the cloud services. We migrated towards Oracle Cloud Infrastructure due to low cost and support of "Dubai" and "Abu Dhabi" regions. We have segregated the regions but configured cross-region private connectivity between tenancies using VCN peering, which works like a charm. The only issue I have is Oracle Cloud Infrastructure lacks a little in ease of user experience in comparison to other cloud platforms, but if it's not a deal breaker for you, then Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is recommended.

When I think about Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), Compute, or actually just OCI in general, I think of three qualities: powerful, reliable, and affordable. Another feature that sets you apart from the competitors is ease of usage. High-performance processing capabilities are a hallmark of OCI, making it ideal for resource-intensive workloads and applications.
  • High Scalability.
  • Good Security.
  • Top notch performance.
  • Good manageability.
  • Support needs improvement.
  • It’s not east to integrate.
  • Documentation is little hard to understand.
It is a service that enables us to divide incoming network traffic among numerous resources, including virtual computers. By intelligently routing requests, it guarantees fault tolerance and high availability. Application performance is enhanced, and resource utilization is optimized by load balancing. SSL/TLS termination and public and private load balancing are supported. Using the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console or APIs, load balancers are simple to set up and configure.

We used Oracle Cloud Infrastructure for the Dev and Prod environment and mostly to serve up load-balanced application nodes. Oracle does a great job with VM instance management and offers a range of solutions, and we found that very helpful in supporting business requirements. It also solved for high performant compute service management for our applications.
  • 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.
If you need stable and performant application services to feed to the web, app, or analytics routines then you should be looking at Oracle. I've had exposure with services for channels in Retail, Travel, and Marketing Analytics for batch and close to near real time scenarios and it is best in class suited for these industries.

In a heavily regulated business, we use Oracle Cloud Infrastructure to safely and securely handle our documents and data. The Archival solution is flexible, secure, and very easy to set up. We also use it to create scalable microservices application deployments with low latency and API support. We use OCI to host our in-house SAAS applications, which require low latency and high availability for our bank's trading business. In addition, we need the proximity of the Cloud Infrastructure to certain market participants to further reduce latency.
  • 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.
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is well suited for users who are starting with the cloud and migrating on-prem solutions to the cloud. The huge range of microservices available makes it easier to develop and deploy solutions. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure works really well to handle data security and storage requirements for heavily regulated industries like banking. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is lacking compared to its competitors when it comes to multiple available regions globally, which can impact some use cases where low latency is required.

Actually i was strugling with the performance thats why i discussed with my team to change the server then we started with the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and then we see performance of our server was too good. So that was the primarily concern for me and my team. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is the best selection for everyone who wants to run the project with sockets. Its too good with the sockets. The other things like source code management, auto deployment, load balancing then it can be a best option.
  • 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
If we are using sockets with our project and the user cloud is too much on server then Oracle Cloud Infrastructure can handle the sockets with very high performance as compair to others, Its my personal experience. I also worked on the other clouds but Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is more preferable from my side.

I am a certified support for Oracle Database products; Oracle Cloud infrastructure is an exact and good solution in order to run Oracle Database products. Actually, I use Oracle Cloud infrastructure in training needs because I need to prepare workshops using this environment, too. We have several customers with Oracle Cloud infrastructure as a primary environment.
  • 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.
DBsystem environments for Internet applications could be perfect to be running on Oracle Cloud infrastructure. With their Disaster recovery over another region in order to avoid outgage if the principal region is out of service. With additions of Multi-Cloud in association with Azure, it could be perfectly working, use of fast connect and express route links between both cloud providers.

we use Oracle Cloud Infrastructurefor hosting SAP systems for some of our customers. We faced issues with using Oracle Java. It is good solution when combined with different Oracle products such as Oracle database and Oracle Linux. As it is not a so explored Cloud service, it is normal to come accross some issues compare to other public Cloud Infra service providers
  • 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
Best suited with Oracle database with huge loads on Oracle products to be able to optimize Less suited for a layman to come & start using Oracle cloud as it is not among very popular public clouds. The Oracle OCI customer base is very less in the market compared to other public Cloud Infra service providers although Oracle Cloud Infrastructure has collaborations on different scenarios

We use oracle constantly for our expense tracking needs. We have set up a process to expedite the approval and coding process. This has helped us save time organizing receipts and expenses to validate amounts.
  • 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.
We have used oracle cloud-based solutions for 8 years and it has been very good. We had a cyber-attack recently and our files were protected. We are lucky to have security but we need to switch more applications to oracle. We are hoping as we integrate more fictions that they all work together seamlessly.

we use multiple [Oracle Cloud Infrastructure] compute instances, block volumes, object storage, VCN aggressively for our multiple customers. Many of the customers have already moved their DC to [Oracle Cloud Infrastructure], also a few of them uses [Oracle Cloud Infrastructure] as their DR solution.
  • 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
Datacenter and Disaster recovery solution where dc is on-premise and DR resides in [Oracle Cloud Infrastucture]. A perfect example [that] provides scalability, CAPEX model for DR infra. There was a time when Cloud computing used to mean convenient, but slow. But With [Oracle Cloud Infrastructure], all that has changed. Oracle’s next-generation solution offers bare-metal servers that reliably provide extreme performance that fully supports real-time processing, massive datasets, and high input/output operations per second (IOPS).

Use oracle cloud infrastructure to host our in-house product application business customer-facing software as a service application. The application uses computer instances that are hosted in the network and use the storage, which consists of the DataBase, logging, and bucket. Cloud infrastructure reliability and speed into the next level, even though there are multiple cloud providers or I can help us to integrator requirements with the help of their team be very able to migrate from an on-premise solution to Cloud within days without affecting their business. We take security into consideration very much and are very able to integrate the best of security, compliance, data handling guidance, protection of privacy of our customers, logging and all the government relations at all geography to be set up at the best places that are actually provided.
  • 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
To start with this very difficult to ignore the code provided and suggest Microsoft and Google and Amazon. Due to the number of developer documents classrooms and training that already provides since it's a newbie in the market. It's always good to go with the one that has better support since they're trying to be the market. Even do the competitions are not too bad, oracle is a technology for the past decades.

We have several business applications that need to reside within the geographic boundaries of a country, we were looking for a HIPAA Certified cloud provider with a fully operational data center in that specific country, luckily, oracle did have a cloud data center in the country. It was our first experience with Oracle Cloud, we needed a few virtual machines with network security, VPN, and load balancing and backup, oracle cloud did provide the needed for us and it was overall a pleasant experience.
  • Exists in unusual countries/regions, this is a big advantage
  • Data center uptime is excellent, in almost 3 years, it never went down, not even once
  • Performance is also great, we never experienced performance issues with the resources provided
  • Simplicity, the admin portal is difficult to use
  • Pricing/Billing details, it was difficult for us to understand the billing model
  • Pricing Cost Estimator is also exceedingly difficult to understand/relate, overall, it is hard to know how much something will cost on Oracle Cloud
Oracle Cloud is generally good, it would make sense for people familiar with and dependant on Oracle Technologies to use Oracle cloud to host databases, apps, and services, Additionally, their existence in unusual regions can give a governance advantage and reduce latency in certain scenarios (depending on the region you prefer to host your workloads in). In other cases, you may want to opt-out of oracle cloud due to complexity if you are not familiar with oracle technologies, the learning curve is difficult when compared to other cloud providers

Improves dynamism and time to provisioning in highly changing environments. In addition, the benefit is obtained economically by being able to provision computing units in a flexible way both on-demand and automated. On the other hand, being able to deploy virtual machines in lift and shift mode is tremendously convenient for infrastructures that have a very strong dependency on legacy systems.
  • Load balancer as a service
  • Dynamic OCPU Auto Provisioning
  • Integration with VMWare
  • Network layout
  • Improve integration with other hypervisors, apart from VMWare
  • Expand list of supported Operating Systems
If the client has a need to dynamically and automatically manage the provisioning of computing power in Shapes that he has already created, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is more than a viable solution because it reduces the cost by more than 40% as well as the time invested in it. On the other hand, in environments that have a high interaction with Oracle systems, the answer becomes more evident by the elimination of certain dependencies.

We are using Oracle Cloud Infrastructure for all our services. Storage latency is always below 1ms. There are some network limitations that require good planning before it is too late. Using Resource Manager made our life easier [in terms of] creating OCI infrastructure.
  • Oracle Autonomous Database
  • Storage performance
  • Logging
  • Network peering should support more then 20 peers.
  • Less maintenance on VPN
  • Load Balancers could have more features
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is an enterprise cloud for enterprise users. Oracle database management can make huge workloads be done autonomously. The developer tools also automate how the infrastructure works. There are good monitoring and logging tools. There are some parts that the Oracle Cloud team should improve like maintenance. Each month we face issues during maintenance.

Data analytics using Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is excellent.
  • Easy data management on cloud
  • Securing our database
  • Easy data analytics
  • Operations reporting

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is really helpful when it comes to the computing part and we want to scale up our infrastructure. [It used to be] so painful, like procurement of hardware resources, [but] setting them up is getting done with ease.
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure on-demand services like dedicated instance on-demand, provisioning of new resources as per the demand of business or load on the application goes up is quite handy and easy to implement. The documentation part of how to set up quite easy to understand and implement.
The use of autoscaling group to automate the entire infrastructure is quite extraordinary feature and also avoid any kind of human errors and manual intervention.
  • Oracle Cloud support is quite good and proactive in terms of any kind of queries or issues.
  • Response time is quite and resolution provided them is satisfactory.
  • When it comes to the pricing, Oracle Cloud is quite cheap as compare to other cloud providers in the market.
  • Navigation of resources in Oracle console is quite easy and not at all messy. User interface is quite human friendly.
  • Integration document with other tools can help us better understanding.
  • Documentation for the provisioning of resources could be better with examples.
  • Adding feature of routing like aws route 53 can be really helpful.
Oracle cloud is a really good solution when it comes to organization with small infrastructure to an organisation with extra large infrastructure in both cases Oracle cloud can be easily scale up or down based in your demands.

Setting up resources is quite easy and do comes with lot of tutorial vides on case you have problem at any step during provisioning. Documentation part is really well indexed and easy to navigate giving you in depth information about everything.

My Banking Customer have migrated from legacy on-premise infrastructure to ORACLE Cloud Infrastructure OCI.In fact this is an Oracle SAAS (software as a service) offering / implementation: end-to-end right from infrastructure, virtualization layer, Operating System, Application Server (middle-ware tier), Orchestration, Database, Core banking solution (Oracle Lending product) as been delivered. Customer is delighted because of Consumption based pricing model which is very much cost effective and reliable when compared with any other Cloud provider in the market.
  • Real time dynamic dashboard (Oracle Managed Cloud dashboard) in order to monitor your SLAs (Service Level Agreements) various graphs / charts given in a widget for various features like Monitoring Application Server health, Database Server health checks.
  • The paramount is AUTO-SCALING feature in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, during Black Friday and Cyber Monday we noticed huge volumes of request incoming which resulted in customer on-boarding without any Dollar loss. The Load Balancer up-scaled implicitly. At any given point of time the elasticity of the resources can be easily extended.
  • Managed services like Data guard makes the DB most reliable.
  • OCI global foot print having 21 OCI Regions live across the globe, single AD regions sooner should have with multiple ADs (Availability Domains).

We used Oracle Cloud Infrastructure for our project, including Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse. It's always easier when you are using existing, on-premises Oracle applications to migrate into Oracle Cloud Infrastructure for higher performance and lower costs. This addressed reduced cost, high performance, high availability, security, auto patching, backups, and easy pathway to upgrade applications.
  • Easy and cost effective for customers to migrate on-premises Oracle applications to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.
  • Oracle Cloud Infrastructure reduced overhead and operational costs, investments in hardware, and associated maintenance
  • Run large workloads at scale without a jump in pricing
  • Ability to scale to provide as much (or as little) compute power and storage as you require
  • Existing Oracle Cloud Infrastructure components are not enough to implement all cloud solutions
  • UI navigation needs improvement
  • The user interface has glitches and needs tags to be added to create services
  • Integration with other tools or cloud solutions is not straightforward or not available
  • Load balancing capability has limited functionality
If you have existing on-premises Oracle applications, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure would be an ideal solution to address reducing costs, increasing performance, improving availability, heightening security, adding auto patching, creating backups and providing your business an easy way to upgrade applications. Importantly, it helps eliminate some of the administrative costs.

If you have a combination of Oracle and other applications with heavy or low usage, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure might not help you or involve lots of initial gaps until Oracle Cloud Infrastructure comes up with many more upgrades or features to connect.

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is used by the user profile and product catalog department of my company's e-commerce arm. We adopted Oracle Public Cloud to deploy Oracle services like Java Cloud Service, ExaData, etc. in the Cloud.
Since JCS is Oracle's SaaS extension to reduce the complexity associated with deploying and maintaining enterprise Java applications, we decided to deploy in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure to ensure a better and seamless vendor service
  • Works well with Oracle's SaaS
  • Oracle Cloud VMware Solution delivers the same VMware experience that enterprises have on premises
  • Oracle Cloud Infrastructure has cloud interoperability partnership with Microsoft Azure
  • UI navigation needs some improvement
  • Load balancing in OCI has limited functionality; it can be improved a lot
  • Existing Oracle Cloud Infrastructure components are not enough to implement all cloud solutions
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is good if intended to be used as IAAS/PAAS for standalone applications. The user interface has a lot of glitches. The reliability is not great, as instances can be unavailable sometimes. Load balancing capability has limited functionality, so it's not recommended when you can not predict high web traffic.

We use this for multiple products and I use it to work on the Oracle Analytics Cloud - Essbase product. It was really good in terms of updating/upgrading products. We don't need to do anything as everything will be taken care of by Oracle. But, the UI should've been better for Oracle Analytics Cloud - Essbase.
  • Hassle-free patch updates.
  • Provides an extra layer of security.
  • We can opt to work with any of the Oracle products.
  • Definitely there should be some UI improvements.
  • File manipulation is complex.
  • Not sure if we can consider implementing the bulk copy/move across the folders in Oracle Cloud.
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is well suited for working with Oracle Analytics Cloud-Essbase. Data processing is faster in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Compute, and Essbase can work magic with the high loads of data by taking less time. Security is another added advantage of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Compute.

Currently, we use OCI for hosting our BI-related applications. All our data warehouse and BI applications are hosted in OCI CLassic. Applications are in OAC. Our BI apps are used across the organization on a daily basis and are critical for month-end and quarter-end reports. It is a centralized data warehouse loading data ETLs from different boundry systems.
  • Ease of provisioning.
  • Scalability to add CPUs or storage without depending on the infra team.
  • Visual builder is a great tool for end-users.
  • There are few limitations while extended file storage associated with database systems and is causing backup issues.
  • Room for improvement on object-level cloning in the database.
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is easy to manage and easy to use. It needs some improvement in simplifying Network/Security setup across domains, as well as some improvements in disaster recovery and clone processes. Its bit slow and buggy while cloning databases from backup.

[It's] Used internally to provide access to Oracle applications for all our consultants for development, design, training, demo, and pre-sales work.
  • The only supported platform supported by PeopleSoft Cloud Manager
  • Consistent and predictable performance
  • Underlying technology design is built for resilience and performance.
  • Visual network designer would assistant in ensuring configuration matches intended design.
  • Automatic and seemless migration of VMs from OCI Classic to OCI would show that Oracle is taking cloud infrastructure service seriously.
  • Better, faster support. Traditional methods of filing SRs date back to the 1980s. Online realitime chat with support that know what they're doing is critical.
  • One click template image load from Oracle Cloud Marketplace is basic omission. It's available for oci-c but not oci.
Well suited to running Oracle database workloads. Native Microsoft SQL Server support would allow it to seriously compete in the IaaS market.
