We performed a comparison between Amazon Aurora and Oracle Java DB based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Relational Databases Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature is that the maintainability is offloaded to the service provider. I don't have to maintain a database or do any administrative tasks, which comes in handy."
"We had better control over the parameters that we could tweak in terms of intermediate storage and better indexing capabilities."
"The most valuable feature of Amazon Aurora is SQL standardization, it doesn't have its own syntax which is good. It has a lot of hands-off self-management type of activities, such as log rolling and auto-scaling."
"The provision of custom read and write endpoints eliminates the need for managing a separate proxy load balancer."
"The solution’s scalability is good since we don’t need to take a maintenance window during unpredictable workloads. I like the solution’s behind-the-scenes happenings. It is a great feature."
"Aurora's compatibility with MySQL or PostgreSQL benefited our database management. The migration from on-premise MySQL to Aurora was similar, so we didn't need to change our source code."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to do multiple-read and single-write. These are the kinds of features that we were interested in, and Aurora takes care of that natively."
"The most valuable feature is automation."
"Able to write queries more efficiently and the management of data has become better and easier."
"It's very clever."
"There have been no issues in relation to stability. We've never really had do to any recoveries. It is very stable."
"It has a programming language so anything that we require for Selenium is all available there."
"The solution is stable."
"The additional value of having Java inside the Oracle database is all the security that is applied to an Oracle database will be enforced on Java's stored procedures as well."
"The product's distributed query process for MySQL needs improvement."
"I would like to see more AI-related features in future releases."
"There is improvement needed to have more developer focus. Additionally, it would be helpful to have a stand-alone solution outside of Amazon. Amazon has a tendency to favor developing web-based clients, which may not always provide the fastest or most responsive solution as desired."
"It would have been helpful if they had provided some benchmarking numbers."
"The pricing could improve. It should be reduced."
"It is a bit costly. The features are quite good, and I wouldn't say it requires any technical improvements. But from a cost perspective, some clients wouldn't go for Aurora because of that."
"I would like to see performance insights on the database based on the queries. Currently, we use SolarWinds as the monitoring tool. I would like to leverage SolarWinds’ performance insights in AWS services. SolarWinds gives larger insights when we run performance issues."
"In terms of improvement, I'd like an automation tool that is lower priced. The core prices are very high."
"Needs improvement in consistency issues with respect to timeframes."
"The biggest lesson that I have learned from using Oracle products is vendor lock-in."
"It'll be better if Oracle Java supports open source technologies, like Node.js."
"The solution could be more user-friendly."
"The solution should continue to keep updating and improving the Java language."
