Overall Satisfaction with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure

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.
  • Positive - Allowed us to scale applications due to market demand, and minimize downtime and impact to customers.
  • Positive - Provides the right level of backup and business continuity services to help build year planning and fulfill audit responsibilities.
  • Positive - Immediate ROI as it pertains to up skilling your employees as they offer free training to go along with services as well as professional service packaging.
Azure IaaS app services offer basic functionality with components and many connectors that can be applied. The difference I felt was that OCI feels more intuitive, and each add-on module or component actually works within the core infrastructure, whereas, with Microsoft products, you are almost, in a sense, left and pushed off at times to 3rd party providers to integration past the standard implementation scenario. This does not happen with OCI.

Would you buy Oracle Cloud Infrastructure again?

Yes

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.
