Overview

Product Information on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure

Updated 13th October 2025

What is Oracle Cloud Infrastructure?

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is a software platform that delivers compute, storage, networking, and database capabilities through a cloud environment. The software supports enterprise workloads by providing scalable and secure resources that can be configured to meet various business requirements. It offers features such as virtual machines, bare metal servers, managed Kubernetes, block and object storage, as well as automation tools for deployment and management. The software also provides monitoring, identity management, and integrated security to address data protection and compliance needs. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is used to support application development, data analytics, and migration of on-premises workloads to the cloud while optimizing performance and cost efficiency.

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Pricing

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure software uses a pay-as-you-go pricing model that charges based on actual usage of compute, storage, and network resources. Additional options include subscriptions for reserved capacity or committed usage discounts. The pricing structure allows users to select and scale services according to specific cloud resource needs without long-term contracts.

“Strong performance and predictable costs, but with a steep learning curve and less mature AI-focused tooling”

4.0
Dec 23, 2025
Overall, my experience with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure has been very solid. It’s been reliable in day-to-day use, performance has been consistently good, and the pricing model made sense for the workloads we were running. Once everything was set up properly, it felt stable and predictable, which is something I value a lot in a cloud platform. That said, there is a learning curve, especially around networking and IAM, and the console isn’t always as intuitive as some competitors. Documentation is generally good, but you sometimes need to dig to find exactly what you need. Because of that, I’d stop just short of calling it truly exceptional, but it’s definitely an outstanding platform overall.

“Limitações no suporte técnico prejudicam experiência apesar do baixo custo do serviço”

3.0
Sep 30, 2025
O provedor ainda está se desenvolvendo como player de nuvem, oferecendo poucos serviços gerenciados, no entanto, o que mais chama a atenção é que o suporte deixa a desejar. Em muitos casos os CSM não possuem conhecimento técnico suficiente, são especialistas em indicar uma documentação para ser lida e não raro os casos temos que abrir um ticket onde o suporte é realizado somente em inglês por um time que fica na índia, o que dificulta a experiência.

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Likes & Dislikes

Like

What I like most about Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is the performance you get for the price. The compute and network performance have been consistently strong, especially for workloads that are sensitive to latency or throughput, and it never felt like we were being nickel-and-dimed for basic features. The pricing is more predictable compared to some other clouds, which made cost planning a lot easier. I also appreciate how solid the core infrastructure feels once its running. We had very few stability issues, and things like block storage and networking just worked without much ongoing maintenance. It feels very much built for serious, production workloads rather than just quick experiments or demos.

Dislike

The biggest downside for me has been the learning curve, especially around networking and IAM. Some concepts are more rigid or structured differently compared to other clouds, and that can slow you down in the beginning if youre coming from AWS or Azure. Simple things sometimes take longer than expected until you fully understand how Oracle expects them to be set up. The console can also feel a bit cluttered and inconsistent. Certain settings are buried deeper than they should be, and switching between regions or services isnt always as smooth as Id like. Support is generally helpful, but response times can vary depending on the issue and support tier, which can be frustrating when youre dealing with something time-sensitive.

What Your Peers Are Saying About Oracle Cloud Infrastructure

IT Manager
Has any large eRP migrated to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and had unexpected infrastructure cost because the Cloud Broker does not perform those functions?
IT Manager
Could you please provide some more details in your question? Who is the Cloud Broker and what type of functions are not performed? OCI is one of the cheaper IaaS providers, offers great performance and services, and have a transparent pricing model.

CISO
Is anyone familiar with a company that offers security services around Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI)? The majority of the companies I've met offer their services but don't have the exact expertise. They are claiming they can copy their other cloud provider's services to offer the same with Oracle - We're looking for something different, with more hands-on skills and approach.
CISO
Palo Alto is one example: https://www.oracle.com/cloud/partners/palo-alto-networks/.  Is that what you are looking for?

    OCI is a powerful cloud platform with excellent database and security features. While it offers good performance and competitive pricing, the interface can take some time to learn for new users.

    Generous Free Tier Attracts New Users Despite Service and Capacity Limitations

    5.0
    Dec 26, 2025
    Overall experience with oracle cloud has been good, especially the generous free tier compute that they offer for new people to try out, also quite helpful for students to experiment with cloud. In terms of the services they lack the breadth/range what other cloud providers do, but they do quite good in terms of database related offerings, given their solid expertise.
