Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is an Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) solution that helps enterprises streamline all cloud computing processes such as handling data migration, configuring virtual machines, controlling access to cloud resources and more. It provides businesses with non-volatile memory express (NVMe) drives to store, archive or manage large data volumes and a storage gateway to protect data from web threats. The mobile hub allows developers to build, manage, and deploy mobile applications, which can be connected to Oracle ERP, CX, HCM, and other third-party systems in cloud or on-premise environments. The application offers a cloud access security broker (CASB) tool, which enables organizations to analyze threats using user-behavior analytics (UBA) and third-party feedback. Features of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure include vulnerability analysis, data migration, email alerts, log data analytics, cost management, issue tracking, code versioning, IT infrastructure monitoring, access control, and tagging. Administrators can determine and resolve anomalies in real-time, manage customer experience using artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), and track changes across resources via notifications. The Web Application Firewall (WAF) allows enterprises to secure applications against cyber attacks and malicious traffic using security tools such as bots and Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS). Oracle Cloud Infrastructure provides RESTful APIs, which let enterprises build cloud applications. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Domain Name System (DNS) helps businesses manage, create, and add various DNS records. Organizations can store files in a centralized repository, manage data transfer processes, and build AI-enabled assistants using the Oracle Digital Assistant platform. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure comes with an API, which facilitates integration with several third-party platforms. It is available to users for free and on monthly subscriptions. Support is extended via online measures. Why Customers are Choosing OCI: Cloud services where you need them Optimize enterprise apps without costly rearchitecture Build and run cloud native or third-party apps with open source tools Harness your data to uncover new business value > > Verdict: Rated **4.6/5** by 18 users.

Kind of don't like it when it comes to looking at information; you have to wait an extra day before plugging information in. Granted, not sure if it's the program itself or waiting on the POS system to update... > > Overall, very simple to use and follow along, I wish that reports could be worked out a bit more to show day-to-day breakdowns instead of just a sum of all days together. ----- ### "Easy if you're in R\&D" — 5.0/5 > **Brian** | *5 October 2024* | Research | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Oracle is very easy to use. The interface to create and design the page the way you want it makes it very easy from a research and development standpoint. > > **Cons**: Sometimes the interface can be a bit confusing and I had to reach out to the help desk a couple of times, but the program overall isn't difficult. ----- ### "Cost effective access to Oracle engine" — 5.0/5 > **Ruchir** | *24 September 2024* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Oracle Cloud Infrastructure provides access to Oracle's exadata machines instantly. Its a cost effective solution with a no-cost layer as well that can be used to POC solutions > > **Cons**: Does not offer other database engines like Postgres or MySQL. You are locked in with the Oracle database engine ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/370698/oracle-cloud-infrastructure-oci?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/370698/oracle-cloud-infrastructure-oci) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
