We performed a comparison between Amazon Aurora and Oracle Multitenant 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 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 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."
"The provision of custom read and write endpoints eliminates the need for managing a separate proxy load balancer."
"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."
"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 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."
"The database becomes pluggable. Inside this container is called a pluggable database and each application contains this pluggable database inside Multitenant. We can then share resources like control files, memory, etc. This lets you stop and start each application without impacting the others. This resource sharing is the most valuable feature"
"It's easy to use and works great."
"Maintaining databases is a valuable feature for us."
"Multitenant has a container database with many pluggable databases."
"You can scale the solution as needed."
"The best thing about Oracle Multitenant is its ability to consolidate multiple databases into one engine."
"The feature that I like on Multitenant is the ease - it is very easy for my team to run the database."
"The most valuable features are the speed and ease of use."
"The pricing could improve. It should be reduced."
"It would have been helpful if they had provided some benchmarking numbers."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"I would like to see more AI-related features in future releases."
"The product's distributed query process for MySQL needs improvement."
"While the product is overall excellent, it is quite expensive."
"It would be beneficial to include this solution with Oracle Enterprise, but Oracle charges additional fees for it."
"This solution is a bit complicated when collecting from containers - that feature should be a bit better."
"The user interface for this solution can be made better."
"It can be complicated to scale up the solution, but it's scalable."
"The solution lacks a GUI for commands."
"Technical support could be faster."
"That said, Oracle in general doesn't invest in their UI for any of their applications. If we're talking about the dashboard or other user experience, there is room for improvement. I'm talking about on premises. The cloud version has started to improve."
