Good multi-platform SQL compatibility, as well as performance and data integrity

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The deployment of our solution across a number of servers using Ingres .NET has meant that we can protect the database server behind a highly secure firewall and deploy the front end solutions on a normal web server."
"The database is solid."
"Oracle Database Appliance provides high stability."
"The solution is stable. The product is scalable. The technical support is very helpful. The initial setup is straightforward. I consider the product a strong solution for our customers."
"Easy management (it saves a lot of installation and patching time)."
"The product is very light."
"We primarily use it for OLTP, which has improved our costs."
"I give it a nine out of 10 because it gives the customer easy access to a complete database solution within 30 minutes."
"The solution's function we use to benefit the customers is database verification."
 

Cons

"The ability to reset the log file without stopping the DBMS would be helpful for us."
"Oracle's product support is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The product's technical support services need improvement."
"The feature that I would like to see improve is the interface. It is really not good. I almost have to work on script by script in it. There is always some issue with the user interface."
"Oracle Database Appliance is stopping support for the standard edition and only continuing support for the RAC One Node. They did not inform us and we are having problems with our customers. We are not having to change our systems from standard to something else."
"I would like it if the scalability could be increased without having to change versions."
"The product's pricing is too high. We plan to migrate to another database in three to four years."
"It would be beneficial to have dedicated RAM included in the Oracle Database Appliance."
"They could incorporate a more secure and internet-centric management system for the platform."

"You must pay for the license."
"Oracle’s pricing is ridiculously high."
