"Excellent Product"
What do you like best about Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Virtual Machine Compute Classic?

We are able to quickly and economically deploy our application using compute classic. We received excellent technical support. The system is reliable and simple to administer. The maintenance is performed by Oracle and the maintenance windows do not result in much downtime. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Virtual Machine Compute Classic?

The downside of compute classic is that they have changed the pricing model to universal credits and it's not easy to avoid overages if you don't set up your limits correctly. Also compute classic is now being replaced with a different architecture and we will need to move our applications to the new infrastructure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The future looks bright with Oracle"
What do you like best about Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Virtual Machine Compute Classic?

Oracle is an easy to learn virtual machine that will make your work easier. having a computer w 4gb ram, 2 processors a good amount of memory for a really cheap price! way better out there Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Virtual Machine Compute Classic?

I will say that not having user friendly videos where u get to see what Oracle can actually do, besides just being the usual virtual machine, you can get it to be more than that!

Also, sometimes there are way to many updates, usually every month I have to be updating. Its okay because this tells me that they are working in the product, but it can be a little upsetting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
