Has reduced database management efforts and supported student learning through smooth deployment
The most important feature of Amazon RDS on Outposts for me is the self-managed aspect. The user doesn't have to worry about putting the service online, scaling the solution, and they don't have to worry about backups and other administrative tasks. The self-managed feature by AWS is very interesting. I use the automated backups in Amazon RDS on Outposts, and I recommend it. I work as a consultant for AWS products, and I have recommended Amazon RDS on Outposts and the automatic backup. Automated backups are helpful because the technical team doesn't have to worry about backups, making it much easier. It frees the technical team to deal with other kinds of questions within their projects. Amazon RDS on Outposts positively impacted my organization by being very useful to migrate, freeing the technical team to think about other matters instead of focusing just on backups and provisioning the database.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product's initial setup phase is simple and straightforward."
"The solution is easy to manage."
"The scalability and cost-effectiveness of AWS were beneficial during spikes in database usage, as it allowed our platform to adjust and remain operational."
"Amazon RDS on Outposts positively impacted my organization by being very useful to migrate, freeing the technical team to think about other matters instead of focusing just on backups and provisioning the database."
"The solution reduces the configuration and maintenance of the database."
"It is quite stable. We have not faced any kind of instability in the database."
"Our primary use of Oracle includes writing queries for retrieving data for customers without worrying about the customer ID, user ID, as it is automatically connected to each query."
"The plug/unplug is the great feature, that doesn't even need the Multitenant option."
"I would rate the scalability a ten out of ten. Our clients are mostly medium and enterprise businesses."
"I have used it for various clients and it's been working like a breeze."
"Oracle is a more automated database."
"The modernization aspect of Oracle Multitenant is significant; it wasn't available previously in database technology, but now it is, enhancing database consolidation."
"Maintaining databases is a valuable feature for us."
 

Cons

"If our database is too big, we sometimes face glitches in it."
"I find the pricing to be expensive."
"The tool should include features to clone the RDS instances and have more central management for a lot of RDSs, not just every instance."
"I would like to see some improvements in its version upgrades because its upgrade from MySQL 5.7 to MySQL 8 was not straightforward."
"Areas that could be improved with Amazon RDS on Outposts for Brazilians include the cost because it remains a very important consideration."
"Oracle has a lot of work to do with Multitenant because it's a new feature."
"The main area for improvement is regarding backup and recovery. Today, it’s difficult to set a pluggable database to a former point in time because flashback pluggable database doesn’t exist."
"While the product is overall excellent, it is quite expensive."
"It can be complicated to scale up the solution, but it's scalable."
"The Oracle Database support is not very good, unfortunately."
"It would be beneficial to include this solution with Oracle Enterprise, but Oracle charges additional fees for it."
"The only issue is that shared files for the main container affect all container databases if something happens to them."
"Technical support could be faster."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution can get expensive fast."
"The licenses are included with the subscription my company purchases from Amazon."
"Amazon RDS on Outposts is expensive compared to other solutions."
"For me, I will go with it if I have the budget. Some features are nicer than before, but at the end of the day, you always have a limited budget. I prefer to upgrade and get a specific hardware when possible. At the end, you will have to make a compromise. You will not get everything you would have liked to have."
"The price is worth the quality."
"This solution is a little bit pricey."
