Overall Satisfaction with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure

We tried to use Oracle Cloud as a backup cloud for our Software as a Service platform that's based on Amazon Web Services. It would allow us to deploy certain components of our main infrastructure in a second cloud for high availability purposes. We tried Compute, Functions, and Object Storage.
  • 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.
  • We were able to test our software in another cloud so it was a positive technical return.
  • Cost was low so we did not spend a lot of money.
  • It was easy to start so we turned up finishing our trial early.
I believe Oracle Cloud is still behind AWS and Google in terms of offering and innovation. Huawei Cloud seems like a direct competitor in the "legacy workload to cloud migrations" segment of the industry, pricing strategy, and enterprise-like sales tactics. We went with Oracle Cloud because of sales proposals and willingness to try another option for the backup cloud.

No

Would you buy Oracle Cloud Infrastructure again?

No

If you are a big company working with Oracle already, Oracle Cloud may be a good option. Especially if you are moving "legacy" workloads that use software such as VMWare or Windows, Oracle Cloud seems to be attractive for this kind of case. It has very good enterprise support.
