Comes with encryption features and security is good
Pros and Cons
  • "The tool's most valuable feature is data encryption. The security features are good. They include field-level security, role-level security, and easy access controls."
  • "The tool is costly, and migration is hard. We need tools like Database Migration Assistant for Oracle to migrate data between databases. Sometimes, older versions of Oracle are no longer supported, making the transition even more difficult."

What is most valuable?

The tool's most valuable feature is data encryption. The security features are good. They include field-level security, role-level security, and easy access controls.

What needs improvement?

The tool is costly, and migration is hard. We need tools like Database Migration Assistant for Oracle to migrate data between databases. Sometimes, older versions of Oracle are no longer supported, making the transition even more difficult.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using the product for ten years. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I rate Oracle Database's stability an eight out of ten. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The tool's scalability is fine. However, you need to pay for additional nodes. 
Scalability is an issue because expanding the system requires additional hardware and licenses for each node. There's no option for mirroring the initial license across different nodes, so each new node requires its license. My company has 300,000 users. We're planning to increase usage gradually, depending on customer demand and database growth, aiming for about a 10 to 20 percent increase annually.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I used Microsoft SQL Server before Oracle Database. 

How was the initial setup?

Oracle Database's deployment is fine. The deployment process for the Oracle database involves considering hardware compatibility. Licensing costs may vary based on the server model used.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The licensing cost is not based on a yearly subscription but rather on the number of devices used annually.

What other advice do I have?

I rate the overall solution an eight out of ten. Consider starting with an open-source database instead of Oracle Database, as the enterprise versions and licensing costs can be quite significant.

Used for transaction system and internal data management system
Pros and Cons
  • "Our internal data management system runs on Oracle Database."
  • "The solution’s integration could be improved."

What is our primary use case?

Our transaction system is designed using the Oracle Database.

What is most valuable?

In our day-to-day operations, it's evident that we should have a transaction system. Our channel partners are also onboarded on the same platform, and they do the transaction. We need to track, so we need a single platform. Our internal data management system runs on Oracle Database. The solution has good security features.

What needs improvement?

The solution’s integration could be improved.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Oracle Database for 20 years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Oracle Database is a stable solution.

I rate the solution a nine out of ten for stability.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I rate the solution’s scalability a six or seven out of ten.

How was the initial setup?

The solution’s initial setup is complex.

What was our ROI?

Oracle-skilled people are easier to get, and that's why we want to keep the solution intact.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

We need to pay an annual subscription for the solution, which is moderately priced.

What other advice do I have?

Oracle Database is on-premises, and we want it migrated to the cloud. If you're a new organization to start with an IT role or IT design, start with the cloud. If you are an old user of IT infrastructures, then it's high time to migrate from on-premises solutions to the cloud. It was easy to migrate to Oracle Database from another database system.

Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

On-premises
