Efficiently handles high-traffic scenarios and compatible with PostgreSQL extensions, offering flexibility in database management
There are many areas of improvement , especially in terms of DDL query routing. Even though it's masterless, DDL queries need to be sent to the coordinator node. Also, setting up a multi-node environment could be more straightforward. Currently, setting up a multi-node environment is challenging. It's a bit tricky. Installation on each PostgreSQL node can lead to communication issues between nodes. An automatic rebalancing feature would be a significant improvement. Currently, I have to manually command the rebalance. It would be more convenient if it was rebalanced automatically. The dashboard and monitoring capabilities are good, but it would be helpful to have an integrated availability dashboard.

Has improved data security and automation while supporting large-scale storage and migration
I do not use the Global Reach feature. Regarding metrics and performance, I don’t recall the exact performance metrics, but we use ETL processes to monitor and manage migration performance and data quality. Oracle Database Cloud Service is strong for data management and storage, as well as for its security features and automation of data dumps and archiving. Overall, Oracle Database Cloud Service is a solid product. It’s well-suited for financial platforms. Oracle provides both its on-premises and cloud-based suites, and the company continues to evolve, offering more components for data storage, data management, and integration with other tools and SaaS solutions. I plan to continue using Oracle Database Cloud Service, particularly for managing SaaS tools in financial contexts.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is competitive with Mongo, MySQL, and maybe even Oracle."
"You can use Citus Data to write complex scripts. I like its version upgrades and disaster recovery as well."
"It's very straightforward to implement the solution. It took us two days to set up everything."
"Its distributed processing capabilities are a standout feature. It requires minimal changes to get up and running if you already have a system on PostgreSQL. Citus can run in its natural state."
"Technically, this is a very, very, good product or database, whether on-premises or on the cloud."
"Security is the most valuable feature provided by the product."
"The product’s most valuable feature is affordable pricing compared to other providers."
"I recommend Oracle Database Cloud Service as a good technology with excellent support and documentation."

"Oracle Database Cloud Service is good for managing data and storage, and also with the security and automation of the dump and graduate data."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Database Cloud Service is its cloud capabilities."
"Oracle DCS's most valuable features are its high availability and scalability."
 

Cons

"More features in monitoring and the reporting could make it better."
"Citus Data needs to improve its stability. Do not consider this product if you have the budget. It is still developing and has a lot of issues."
"There are many areas of improvement , especially in terms of DDL query routing. Even though it's masterless, DDL queries need to be sent to the coordinator node. Also, setting up a multi-node environment could be more straightforward."
"I think the program is rather expensive, so I would like to see it becoming more affordable."
"Oracle Database Cloud Service could improve by adding some cross-region replication features."
"The availability of different editions within Oracle Database Cloud Service could be improved."
"The pricing must be improved."
"It would be nice to have a data dictionary reporting feature in the solution."
"The user interface of the database could be like SQL Developer on-premise. The scripts are not persistent in the cloud, and the export of the data is not quite like on-prem."
"Oracle Cloud is very strong in the database, but it is not as comprehensive as AWS or Azure."
"We encountered connection failures for some of our sites."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Citus Data is an open-source product."
"Price is always higher for all Oracle products."
"The product has reasonable pricing. I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."
"The tool is not cheap."
"Every year we are increasing the price of the solution. There is hardware licensing available. We pay approximately $20,000 monthly to use the solution."
"I think the program is rather expensive, so I would like to see it becoming more affordable."
"Pricing for Oracle Database Cloud Service could be more competitive. Lately, pricing for it has been increasing, so my company may have to review different options to find a solution with competitive pricing. From what I know, there's no additional cost apart from the standard licensing fees for Oracle Database Cloud Service."
