We performed a comparison between Microsoft Azure and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Infrastructure as a Service Clouds (IaaS) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Infrastructure as a service is most valuable."
"The technical support has been good."
"Technical support has been extremely helpful."
"With Microsoft Azure, we have a platform that lets us easily deploy applications to the cloud."
"One of the most valuable features of Microsoft Azure is the compatibility with all of our Windows applications and other Microsoft technologies"
"The solution is very stable for Windows setups."
"Data analytics is one of the efficient features as well."
"There are many useful features. We use web apps, so instead of starting a web server, we just have machines running some web services. This was helpful for us in terms of the scalability of the application. We also use Active Directory for authentication and some services for the data backup. It is a very good and reliable solution. It was easy to implement this solution. It fits very well into our plans and covers our needs to provide infrastructure in the cloud. The portal to configure new resources is very easy, and it is very easy to allocate new resources."
"It's a cloud, so it is easy to access anywhere."
"The security on the solution is very good."
"The features allow you to connect the service solutions with the client's requirements. It is user-friendly, easy to navigate and provides assistance."
"We use the solution for EC2. It helps me to create around six servers for free to test out things. It also provides me with an authenticated cloud nameserver. We also use it as a wireguard endpoint."
"Oracle Cloud is reasonably scalable - I'd rate it seven out of ten."
"The most valuable features are the manageability and the user interface."
"The product enables users to create their own reports."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is a cloud-based solution."
"At times, the support is terrible."
"Establishing the account in the beginning was very difficult."
"Talking from a networking perspective, when you create a file or a rule in Azure and you want to view this IP group, sometimes the way it is displayed on the GUI, you don't see the name of the group."
"The solution could improve by providing a better user interface and more organized workflows."
"Improvements are needed in Azure to enhance integration tools and support for effectively migrating and managing third-party dependencies."
"The solution needs a more integrated password feature."
"Azure does not handle scalability as well as its competitors. Sometimes a 10 percent increase in a server with 20 percent of CPU usage pushes the server up to 100 percent load, and you start having performance issues."
"The documentation can be outdated and is not as clear in Microsoft Azure as it is in AWS or Google."
"Since our Oracle products are on premise we cannot get the premier Oracle products."
"They offer some basic services but the choice is not as rich as other cloud providers."
"In the next release, I would like to see more automation."
"The portfolio should improve for the Oracle Cloud Platform. Oracle has to increase the services offered. New services should be added to be able to compete better with Amazon AWS which is the best, and the biggest service. Oracle Cloud Platform has a small portfolio, but it's a good one."
"Managed services for Postgres are not available in Oracle Cloud."
"Specific to the Oracle Cloud; while they have been able to showcase inbuilt features for Oracle applications, what doesn't really come across clearly is what happens when you want to host, work with, or integrate with applications outside of the Oracle stack."
"Oracle support could be better; we had cases where certain regions experienced specific issues and received little help from Oracle."
"The product features related to the manufacturing domain must be improved."
