"The pricing is a bit expensive."
"The product could use some more development and maturity so it has more peripheral functionality already integrated."
"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."
