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.

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure organisation keeps on being a slow (sluggish) organisation, where the internal Oracle teams that have a stake in the OCI landscape are hard to get aligned.

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.

Like

Good cost efficiency. Features to scale up are available (superclusters) and quite some design choices that can be made due to extensive options that are available. Proximity of the Oracle SaaS platforms (Fusion) is a big plus for companies that are having these services activated.

Like

Support for different types of databases makes the connection seamless. Oracle has been one of the biggest database platforms for quite a while now and the connection we currently have is truly efficient. The security pack is builtin the plan you take out which is a great way to impress a customer, we were impressed, I can confirm. What we also liked is that the choice of either fully cloud, dedicated regions or hybrid cloud, feels like a solution for every kind of business

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.

Dislike

Inconsistent performance and compared with competitors, there are feature gaps noticed. When we started using OIC, there is where the major troubles began.

Dislike

New platform users might find it difficult to adopt quickly as the system itself is quite complicated so will require cloud infrastructure experts to introduce this into a new business. The ecosystem itself is a bit smaller compared to other rivals but still keeps this platform as abig player in the market

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?

    High Performance and Security Features Enhance Oracle Cloud Data Management Solutions

    4.0
    Feb 3, 2026
    Oracle seems to offer one of the best cloud management services in the current market, the variety of services that span across this platform make the cloud data availability, management, migration and connection across platforms truly seamless. It is extremely beneficial in moving/storing cloud data that comes from various sources, even the oldest code can be migrated to a new environment with the help of OCI. It truly offers high high performance - the data retrieval takes nanoseconds, it gives you the option to have either Exadata or Autonomous DB, it also offers a rather good price compared to its competitors in the market. We are using Cloud but they also offer dedicated regions and cloud solutions which is a big plus. The security package that comes included in your plan is a great addition to the package offered.

    Overall, as a user, my experience with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure has been positive : I find the platform to be performing well, with a dependable uptime, and it allows us to have an infrastructure sufficient enough to build and deploy AI solutions at scale. It feels like the right fit for our company, it suits our needs and priorities in terms of reliability and security.

    The suite of services Oracle cloud provides is top tier. I have worked as a Technical consultant for a reseller and studied the technology. I work as a developer utilizing some of the offerings. All I can say is that it is one of the best.
