Overall Satisfaction with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure

We use Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Compute for spinning up Linux and Windows Server instances to provide development, preproduction, and UAT environments for the individuals to test their web applications to ensure they're working correctly, enhance production delivery, and create instances without worrying about infrastructure.
  • Secure access to your instance
  • Remotely accessible
  • Flexibility to chose your operating system without worrying about infrastructure
  • Allows full network isolation, leading to uncompromising workloads
  • Should focus on lowering costs on Windows Server computing instance
  • Very limited support for IIS web applications
  • Not recommended for beginners (requires extensive industry experience)
  • A good deal when it comes to provisioning bare metal and virtual machines
  • Lower success rate in case of IIS web applications and Windows VM instance pricing
  • Good service so far because every cloud service has its ups and downs
Azure App Service's cost is quite high and also takes across 10-15 minutes to spin up an IIS instance. The portal crashes from time to time and the technical support is quite poor, which is why Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Compute is a good choice in this case with moderate costs (only in case of Linux) and immediate technical support.

Yes

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?

Yes

Would you buy Oracle Cloud Infrastructure again?

Yes

If seen from an organization perspective for startups or companies following remote work culture i would recommend this service as it is highly secure and provides network isolation.

It would not be appropriate for using it for the sake of technology or trial purposes but only use it if it fulfills the business value of an organization.
