Overall Satisfaction with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure

We tested out a few of Oracle Cloud infrastructure services for selecting services among cloud providers for our company's migration to the cloud. Services include computing instances, object storage, MySQL database, and data science services. We wanted a seamless migration from an on-premise data center to cloud infrastructure for all workloads. For an enterprise of our size and needs, OCI seemed to be a good option.
  • Database services.
  • Logging
  • In database machine learning.
  • OCI Workflow.
  • Support is not up to the mark.
  • Limited options for OS images for VM.
  • UI can be improved to match the competition.
  • A limited number of services offered.
  • Cost saving.
  • Availability
  • Managing the Kubernetes cluster becomes easy.
OCI does not stack up against these products due to their wide range of services, support, and ease of troubleshooting. There is an abundance of tutorials on the services provided by the competition, which makes them more easy to use. However, OCI is very competitive in pricing.

Do you think Oracle Cloud Infrastructure delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure's feature set?

No

Did Oracle Cloud Infrastructure live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure go as expected?

No

Would you buy Oracle Cloud Infrastructure again?

No

As per our experience, OCI suites well when there are simple workloads that require minimum cloud services. This is useful for many small to medium-scale applications to run on the cloud at a low cost or for accounting/finance services. It is also not recommended for hybrid workflows (as there is no support, which was our case).
