Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use the software to run some cloud applications that would not make sense for us to run on Prime. They allow us to use different forms of storage, computing, and architecture.

Pros and Cons

Free tier.
Architecture
Training

Price
Uptime
Interface

Return on Investment

Cheaper cloud presence.
ID federation.
Good cloud training.

Alternatives Considered

Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) and Azure Virtual Machines

Both of these other products are much more robust and better suited for smaller businesses. Oracle does a good job if you’re already entrenched in their ecosystem, but AWS and Azure do a good job for general-purpose computing.

Likelihood to Recommend

It is well-suited if you can stay within the free tier limits of the platform. If you want to do things with Oracle-based databases, it makes a lot of sense to use it directly from the manufacturer. I do not see the software being as robust or intuitive as Azure or AWS.

Great for the free tier!
