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

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

My company is satisfied with Oracle Database Cloud Service. I also like the availability of the service. It's a trustworthy service. I didn't experience any downtime from it.

Cons

"The ability to reset the log file without stopping the DBMS would be helpful for us."

"The seamless integration is a bit of an issue."

"Oracle should work on the solution's compatibility issues with the operating system."

"In my opinion, the price of Oracle Database Cloud Service should be more affordable. Additionally, the interface of the application could be more user-friendly."

"The implementation process could be easier for customers."

"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."

"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."

"We're actually going through licensing issues and are looking to perhaps changing to another solution, something that is perhaps open-source."

"The initial setup is a bit complex for the beginner, so you need a little technical experience to install it."
