Reduction in database creation time, provides good performance but challenges when interacting with the OCI console

Overall, I would rate the solution a seven out of ten. However, there are a few things to note. It's not just about being alert with Exadata, but also understanding the OCI console. For instance, companies need to create user group policies to protect against unauthorized access. If you are referencing a compromised system, there's no issue there, because the operating system is Linux. There's no problem when it comes to the basic operations of the database, such as creating, querying, and updating tables. However, we've adopted a new configuration where we're using Docker containers to deploy our applications. This is a new setup for us.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Amazon RDS is very easy to use."

"The solution is good for on-premise deployments."

"Amazon RDS gives us the ability to select as many tools, replicas, regions, and zones as we want."

"Encryption is the most valuable feature."

"The time to install or set up a database environment is very fast."

"The solution’s scalability, usability, and availability are valuable to us."

"The provisioning is much faster. You don't have to prepare hardware or install software. You just need to create an instance and you have a database."

"The initial setup is straightforward, and technical support is good."

More Amazon RDS pros

"The operation model is the most valuable feature."

"The most valuable feature is that it is based on Exadata infrastructure, which is Oracle 's leading engineered system that is trusted, fault-tolerant, and has unique performance features."

"I am particularly fond of the intelligent capabilities that enhance the backend, utilizing technology to analyze SQL queries."

"Exporting and importing is easy because of its cleanliness, making the process easier. However, setting up the Data Guard was more difficult. Despite this, the client experienced lower downtime."

"I like that Oracle Exadata Cloud at Customer is a stable, well-positioned product in the market today, and it's very scalable."

Cons

"The solution could improve the administration tools."

"As a customer of Amazon RDS, you don't have super-user privileges, and that is the only drawback where improvements are required."

"Amazon RDS should have a more user-friendly graphical user interface and include better database management options."

"The security features could be improved."

"The solution is a bit expensive."

"You can only get access from the sales support. That means if you want to buy something or renew your subscription or upgrade, all these services are easily available. Yet, if you would like to get some technical support, you have to pay for it. You have to pay for an additional subscription."

"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."

"I would like to see improvements in the tool's automatic restart."

More Amazon RDS cons

"As a customer, you can't see the boot messages of your virtualized guest machines."

"The solution is expensive."

"For the data migration, we used ZDM. It was not integrated with the databases, and the documentation lacks clarity."

"We had some problems in the developer's environment. We had some problems with the initial installation environment."

"A room for improvement in Oracle Exadata Cloud at Customer is that they need to train more partners to gain more knowledge because currently, they are keeping a lot to themselves. For example, they are still keeping a lot of information on their campus, so information sharing is limited."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Amazon RDS is not a very expensive solution."

"Amazon RDS is less expensive than other solutions."

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

"The price of Amazon RDS is reasonable."

"The solution is fairly priced."

"The price could be better."

"if you don't know how to optimize and use your tool properly, the cost might hurt you."

"On a scale from one to ten, where ten is the most expensive, and one is the cheapest, I rate the solution's pricing a seven out of ten."

More Amazon RDS pricing and cost advice

"The price is too much."

"The machine and the cloud model itself already have licensing advantages."
