Positive experiences with database services, with minor room for feature enhancements observed

I don't really see any disadvantages of Amazon RDS. With Oracle, I think AWS doesn't provide the RAC stability. If you have Oracle installed in your own data centers, you can set up various clusters and we can set up the RACs, but in Amazon RDS, we cannot have the RAC feature of Oracle. They could add that feature. Amazon RDS has limitations regarding RAC. If we talk about installing Oracle in RDS, we cannot have the RAC, but if you deploy Oracle on GCP, then there is probably the RAC feature available. I observed that around two or three years back, but I'm not sure whether they have added the RAC feature in AWS. Amazon RDS is expensive compared to GCP. GCP also has the same features, and although it is quite extensive and feature-rich, I see Amazon RDS as slightly expensive compared to other clouds.

Excellent reporting server that is compatible with MySQL

We ran into some quirks that Infobright had. We interacted with Infobright's support and were able to resolve them. There still are issues with data replication - Infobright is currently for one server (unless you buy the Infobright appliance). This would mean that redundancy is something you need to implement yourself.

More Amazon RDS pros

"It has very amazing smart grid query feature for very fast aggregate queries across millions of rows"

Cons

"Sometimes the interface has many moving parts, which is a concern."

"Amazon cannot guarantee the stability of some extensions, and there is a need for different extensions to meet PCI requirements."

"One of the challenges of AWS RDS is that it doesn't support performance insight. So we need to write our own script or use third-party tools."

"The solution could improve by adding a sandbox environment and more security."

"The running cost could be improved."

"The support team of Amazon RDS provides us with some links to go through whenever we face some issues, but it doesn't work for us."

"They should add a feature for manual SQL patching in RDS."

"Amazon cannot guarantee the stability of some extensions, and there is a need for different extensions to meet PCI requirements."

More Amazon RDS cons

"Only the data from the columns that reached 2GB will actually decrease. Other columns below 2GB in size do not leave the disk."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's pricing needs improvement."

"Licensing fees are paid on an annual basis."

"Amazon RDS could improve by reducing the price."

"The solution is expensive."

"The cost of using this solution is similar to that of having your own data center."

More Amazon RDS pricing and cost advice
