Recommendations to others considering Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Compute:

Selection of any cloud vendor especially compared to popular ones like AWS/GCP, is a difficult decision, but evaluation could be done to see the benefits & ease of usage with new vendors viz OCI. Consider OCI for all new implementations in cloud especially the IAAS to take full control of Infra resources Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Powerfull and simple to use"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Compute?

Always Free service allows using multiple Autonomous Databases, Virtual Machines, and a variety of other services both to perform tests and prove of concepts or to run small production environments. Compute services are included in the offer, and you can also add additional resources if required. Pricing is very competitive, including new ARM (ampere A1) servers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Compute?

I do not have anything in particular to mention; OCI Infrastructure is simple to use and configure Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Compute:

Follow some of the free tutorials and resources to get used to OCI environment and then start playing using a free account to test and configure different OCI compute scenarios Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I was able to perform POC for complex environments, using multiple VMs to install and configure different components and being able to scale up and down with simple steps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"One of the best Cloud computing ecosystems out there"

4/5

What do you like best about Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Compute?

I like how the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Compute provides complete flexibility to choose compute instances based on Intel, AMD, and ARM processors. The compute instances have been optimized leading to better compute performance at a much lower cost when compared to other players like AWS and Azure. The downtimes were limited and we rarely experience any lags. I was surprised to see the assortment of AMIs already available on the platform as I was not expecting these to be not present in that proportion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Compute?

There are no instances that are backed by proprietary chips optimized for training like Google's TPU chips and for inferencing like Amazon Inferentia instances. That's an area where Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Compute is still lagging behind other cloud ecosystems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The primary problem we have solved is to get rid of our existing servers and GPUs to train and deploy various applications and Machine Learning models. With Oracle Cloud Infrastructure compute, we don't need to go through the hassle of maintaining and upgrading the hardware as we can simply increase or decrease the computational power as per the requirement. For example, while training a model requires a lot of processing power and storage along with GPUs for training deep learning models while inference is relatively lightweight and requires less computing resources. So we need not invest in a high-performance GPU as it is required only for a few weeks/months for training rather than all the time. We have realized considerable savings as we pay only for what we use and are easily able to scale due to seasonal changes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
