Ajeet-Sachan - PeerSpot reviewer
Self-maintenance features reduce downtime and improve efficiency but enterprise edition limits can be restrictive
The availability of different editions within Oracle Database Cloud Service could be improved. The model divides their standard edition versus enterprise editions into two categories and limits the standard edition on a particular configuration set. This limitation, such as the thirty-two vCPU limit, should be removed. Another area for improvement is the affordability of the enterprise version.

Quotes from Members

Cons

"The seamless integration is a bit of an issue."
"The ability to reset the log file without stopping the DBMS would be helpful for us."
"The implementation process could be easier for customers."
"Oracle Database Cloud Service is a good engine and at the moment, there isn't any new feature I can think of that I'd like added to the service. The only problem I see in Oracle Database Cloud Service is it's more commercial, so it has a relation to how it deals with customers. I don't feel secure in a deal with Oracle because that team changes the conditions each year, and there's no representative from the team that talks to my company about new needs. Oracle needs to improve its relationship with customers and partners in general."
"The availability of different editions within Oracle Database Cloud Service could be improved."
"Oracle Database Cloud Service has room for improvement in handling large-scale applications."
"The pricing must be improved."
"Oracle Database Cloud Service could improve by adding some cross-region replication features."
"It would be nice to have a data dictionary reporting feature in the solution."
"We encountered connection failures for some of our sites."
