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 should work on the solution's compatibility issues with the operating system."
"It would be nice to have a data dictionary reporting feature in the solution."
