Likelihood to Recommend Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) is a great fit when you need High-performance infrastructure for mission-critical apps that require low latency and high availability. Scalable compute services for big data analytics workloads that process massive datasets. Support for DevOps teams looking to streamline their development and deployment pipelines. But it might not be the best choice for Small-scale or low-traffic applications where you can find cheaper options elsewhere. Legacy workloads running on older tech like Oracle Solaris or Windows Server, where OCI's support may be limited.
Read full review We had been slowly implementing Oracle products to replace several existing systems and so we needed a platform that would work to integrate across all of these solutions. Our company is fairly large and we work with a variety of clients and vendors as well. We needed an easier way for everyone to access information and discuss what data and future integration were most appropriate.
Read full review Pros Scalability: During peak hours, you do not need to add additional servers, load balancers, etc., manually. Oracle does everything for you. Cost : It's amazing option of pay what you use really helped us. Interoperability: As we migrated from On-Premise, its interoperability helped reduce the time for go live. Read full review Oracle Cloud Platform can provide consistent latency guarantees in multiple geographics. It works well with Oracle Database that is being used as the primary database without the need for custom configuration. Oracle Cloud Platform has reasonable customization options to fine-tune it for workloads that require very low latency for events/transactions. Read full review Cons This may be kind of obvious, but Oracle Cloud Infrastructure favours Oracle's own database products and there is limited opportunity to use, say, SQL Server as a serverless/managed database product. Thus if you use Oracle Cloud Infrastructure but want a non-Oracle DB you may need to run it on your own VM or migrate to something else Other hyperscalers, such as GCP, have a greater focus/emphasis on AI and models, and this is something Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is not yet as well-established in Other hyperscalers, such as Azure, have greater unification around its data/BI products and tools than Oracle Cloud Infrastructure currently has Read full review Going with any Oracle Cloud Platform Solution for BI Implementation, I would prefer a strong/powerful Oracle tool to push data in Oracle Cloud Datawarehouse. There are chances of overage charges on using the Oracle Cloud Platform, if you choose to implement any services with non-allocated core CPU. So expect to give some alert before even allowing to implement any service with not allocated core CPU or remove the displaying of non-allocated CPUs for users. It can allow options where Oracle Cloud storage container username password as never expired.

Read full review Usability The services & products in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure needs more improvement to beat other Cloud service providers. The price is good & Security processes are good. We are requiring to put more effort in supporting this Oracle Cloud Infrastructure than other Cloud service providers. Probably better ways are there but is not super easy to find or not super available
Read full review Reliability and Availability highly available.
Read full review Performance Oracle Cloud Infrastructure's performance and scalability meet our business objectives effectively. flexible solutions, dynamically adjustment based on demand make this solution a really good solution to migrate our on-premises services to the cloud, performance, migration process, and the easy way to integrate everything makes Oracle a really good solution for corporate environments.
Read full review Support Rating Overall it is amazing, there is always room for improvement. We have weekly updates that tend to slow the program used more and more. We had to change some reports within Oracle because the others wouldn’t load. This is tied to our payroll and the delays are causing many time constraint issues and panic. We have to create a new report when one breaks. Otherwise awesome!

Microsoft Azure and Docker earlier and faced some difficulties like
Microsoft Azure and Docker. Occasionally, the generation of large images can delay deployment. It is also necessary for me to admit that
Microsoft Azure and Docker have a somewhat steep learning curve. Proper paperwork needs to be there. Docker has issues with performance on a number of platforms. On the other hand, OCI is easy to deploy and easy to understand.
Read full review If you already have considerable Oracle licenses, then Oracle Cloud Platform is the best option. If most of your applications and needs are Windows-based, then
Microsoft Azure is the best choice. Google GCP is on par with Oracle Cloud Platform in various features, including global reach. Cisco Hybrid Cloud Platform is an excellent choice if you have some interesting network requirements for the application to be deployed.
Read full review Contract Terms and Pricing Model was not part of initial purchase team. Anyways, i think unit pricing and billing frequency is good compared to other Cloud service providers, when it comes to Cloud Capital expenditure & Operational expenditure. Would be more interested in exploring more options where customers can get more cost relaxations on trying out new cloud services in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure for example a new App or a feature
Read full review Scalability useful product.
Read full review Professional Services Services & Infra wise is ok to use & host applications & services. Security wise also good for a Cloud service provider. It is a interesting area to explore & using it for day to day needs can be further improvised in future probably. Modern day Services like AI and Machine learning could be improved
Read full review Return on Investment We have migrated approximately 75 apps successfully over to the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure in the past year. By migrating these apps, we were able to reduce our on-prem hardware needs by 50% for a specific business unit. Minimizing our on-prem hardware needs has allowed us to continue our migration to the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. Read full review I only used the trial version, but I liked the rich UI experience. It was easy to understand. I liked the fact that there are a lot of apps in the app store. A lot of brands use Oracle which leads to trust. It's also scalable. As a consultant, this is something I can recommend to my customers over Amazon AWS Cloud because it has the built-in security that you don't have to buy separately. Easy to integrate. My clients are looking for a one-stop ecosystem that can be used for everything including HR, Security, Analytics, Dashboards, and user experience. This saves me time as a consultant as well.
