"Used Oracle compute to build a saas platform using Oracle Autonomous database"

0/5

What do you like best about Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Compute?

Oracle Autonomous database, because it worked really great until we hit a certain limit and it broke down. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Alternative to AWS or Azure"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Compute?

Oracle offers a very wide range of cloud products and services, and the best part is that we can try most on a very generous trial period, with some of these products being free forever.

Prices are very competitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Compute?

The whole process of starting using Oracle cloud and cloud compute services is a bit bureaucratic, complicated and time-consuming. The integration between, for example, the cloud dashboard and the support platform is just very confusing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Compute:

My recommendation is that you try out the platform with their generous free tier. The start can be a bit slow but soon it will be worth to use their cloud services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Compute solving and how is that benefiting you?

Oracle is being helpful for me by hosting some of my websites in different server locations and at a very good price, especially compared with its competition. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to Deploy new or existing Applications with end-to-end Oracle Support. Services are easy to use and can be learned with a few days of training. Also the pricing is much lesser than other competitors which makes Oracle Cloud affordable for the small size clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Compute?

Lesser services as compared to other top cloud service providers. Some of the Applications are still not supported to be migrated to Oracle Cloud which are mostly legacy applications. Also for Database Administrators, ASM support is not there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Compute:

Consider Oracle Cloud for your buisness needs with lower and flexible pricing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Compute solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have migrated databases and Applications on Oracle cloud compute instances. The migration was seamless with oracle Zero downtime migration which is the latest development by Oracle.

"Bringing down overall cost using OCI compute Instance"

4/5

What do you like best about Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Compute?

We have moved many of our existing customers database and ebs(erp) workload from existing on prem instance to oci compute instance.

Generally the overall transition show ample amount of improvement as far as processing rates are concerned.

But with introduction of new instances with 3rd Gen Intel Xeon ice lake processor , the performance get super better and ultra fast almost zero lag for heaviest application we have ever encountered.

Also the billing part is flexible, many of our customers wanted to have autoscaling only in certain time during the year with RAC setup horizontally increasing their load capacity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Compute?

Sometimes with few customers, we have seen even for some instances when they offer instances with much larger configuration, say instance with 512 gb memory and 256 cpu.

The performance which are expected from these kinds of configurations is not received by customers, giving space of doubt ,if the configuration delivered is actual ( but this happens only sometimes to some small fraction of customers ) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Compute solving and how is that benefiting you?

On of the leading insurance customers, who was having difficulty to manage all Exadata server on-premise and paying upfront with huge amount.

They were offered oracle cloud @ ccustomers,

With fully managed engineered system from Oracle with flexible monthly billing and no upfront cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
