Ensures data security with robust features but needs better cost-effectiveness

Pros

"It is highly secure, with an architecture that prevents hacking incidents, making it the most secure database available. "

Cons

Supports a large volume of transactions compared to other databases

Pros

"The tool supports a large volume of transactions compared to other databases we've used. One feature that had a significant impact is Oracle Data Integrator. It allows us to transfer data from the enterprise database to the data warehouse. This is useful for creating different data sets for finance teams and other departments. "

Cons

"The tool's deployment and configuration is difficult. Sometimes, the network DNS settings aren't connected, so we need to check and enable the configuration, which is the difficult part. Maintenance requires a bit of effort. We need to monitor the database performance, check the number of concurrent users on Oracle, and handle any unwanted queries from users. You need at least two people to do it. "

Enhances query performance, helps resource revision, and can analyze large datasets

Cons

"Cost is always a concern."
