Has improved data security and automation while supporting large-scale storage and migration
I do not use the Global Reach feature. Regarding metrics and performance, I don’t recall the exact performance metrics, but we use ETL processes to monitor and manage migration performance and data quality. Oracle Database Cloud Service is strong for data management and storage, as well as for its security features and automation of data dumps and archiving. Overall, Oracle Database Cloud Service is a solid product. It’s well-suited for financial platforms. Oracle provides both its on-premises and cloud-based suites, and the company continues to evolve, offering more components for data storage, data management, and integration with other tools and SaaS solutions. I plan to continue using Oracle Database Cloud Service, particularly for managing SaaS tools in financial contexts.

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 most valuable features for us are reliability and performance."
"Oracle Database Cloud Service is good for managing data and storage, and also with the security and automation of the dump and graduate data."
"Data storage is the most valuable feature of Oracle Database Cloud Service."
"I am impressed with the product's partitioning and advanced data card."
"Oracle DCS's most valuable features are its high availability and scalability."
"The self-maintenance features, auto maintenance, cleanup, and backup are the most valuable aspects of Oracle Database Cloud Service."
"It is a very stable program."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Database Cloud Service is its cloud capabilities."
"The most valuable features of Oracle Database Cloud Service are its scalability, advanced technology, cost-effectiveness, and the flexibility it provides with licensing."
 

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."
"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."
"Oracle Cloud is very strong in the database, but it is not as comprehensive as AWS or Azure."
"We're actually going through licensing issues and are looking to perhaps changing to another solution, something that is perhaps open-source."
"Oracle should work on the solution's compatibility issues with the operating system."
"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."
"Oracle Database Cloud Service has room for improvement in handling large-scale applications."
"Oracle Database Cloud Service could improve by adding some cross-region replication features."
"The implementation process could be easier for customers."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Pricing for Oracle Database Cloud Service could be more competitive. Lately, pricing for it has been increasing, so my company may have to review different options to find a solution with competitive pricing. From what I know, there's no additional cost apart from the standard licensing fees for Oracle Database Cloud Service."
"I think the program is rather expensive, so I would like to see it becoming more affordable."
"The product has reasonable pricing. I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."
"Every year we are increasing the price of the solution. There is hardware licensing available. We pay approximately $20,000 monthly to use the solution."
"Price is always higher for all Oracle products."
"The tool is not cheap."
