Overall Satisfaction with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure
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.
Pros
- 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.
Cons
- 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
- Due to the Covid situation, it made it very easy for many of our customers to operate hassle-free in terms of connectivity.
- Covid showed cloud is the only way to handle such situations
- Covid aided customer to adapt cloud technology more aggresively
- Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), Amazon Elastic Load Balancing and Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service)
Both EC2 and [Oracle Cloud Infrastructure] compute instances are great. But if I have to choose one of them I will go for [Oracle Cloud Infrastructure] because of its user-friendliness. I prefer [Oracle Cloud Infrastructure] object storage over Amazon S3 because of oracle's robust security.
