Manages extensive utility billing applications efficiently with trusted performance and robust support

Currently, I have a very good experience with Oracle Multitenant. The pluggable database is easy to handle and manage, sharing resources efficiently. However, Oracle license pricing is an issue due to its high cost. Our organization is compelled to reduce CPU usage by seventy CPUs because the Oracle license cost depends on it.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's SQL. SQL is so easy if you know something about databases. It's easy to learn."

"Google Cloud SQL is highly scalable."

"The most valuable feature for us is the Postgres on Google Cloud SQL since it supports most of the features we need."

"I found its storage and security to be the most valuable, it was a good experience, it is also very stable and scalable, and its support is perfect."

"Licensing is not applicable; pricing is reasonable."

"It directly provides robust data safety. It also offers various other storage options, such as Google Cloud Storage. These services ensure data security and redundancy. Furthermore, it includes different storage classes, allowing flexible data management tailored to specific needs."

"The deployment model allows for significant control and flexibility."

"Google Cloud SQL enhances our AI-driven projects by providing features like query optimization and scalability for efficiently processing large datasets."

More Google Cloud SQL pros

"The database becomes pluggable. Inside this container is called a pluggable database and each application contains this pluggable database inside Multitenant. We can then share resources like control files, memory, etc. This lets you stop and start each application without impacting the others. This resource sharing is the most valuable feature"

"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."

"Maintaining databases is a valuable feature for us."

"The analytics tool, Oracle Analytics Server (OAS), is the main important component of this solution and in the analytics part, the VPD handles all the necessary functions effectively."

"The most valuable features are the speed and ease of use."

"Multitenant has a container database with many pluggable databases."

"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 most valuable features are the speed and ease of use."

More Oracle Multitenant pros

Cons

"I would appreciate more flexibility with specific extensions applicable to engines like PostgreSQL."

"Sometimes the sharing with third parties or configuring that in Google Cloud SQL is not the most intuitive."

"For write operations – yes, as there is no MySQL clustering mode."

"When discussing media files, such as images and audio files, stored in Google Cloud, concerns about handling large amounts of data arise."

"I would like to see better availability of the product in different regions. It should also improve the security with encryption."

"The purging of the data could be better."

"The only thing that could be better is the pricing."

"The monitoring part could be better."

More Google Cloud SQL cons

"From the scope of improvement, I would say that people are adopting new query options. Certain databases like MongoDB adopt new query options so that they can just pull the data."

"Technical support could be faster."

"This solution is a bit complicated when collecting from containers - that feature should be a bit better."

"Oracle license pricing is an issue due to its high cost. Our organization is compelled to reduce CPU usage by seventy CPUs because the Oracle license cost depends on it."

"The solution lacks a GUI for commands."

"It would be beneficial to include this solution with Oracle Enterprise, but Oracle charges additional fees for it."

"The user interface for this solution can be made better."

"Oracle Support is relatively unprepared for this. It has improved, but it still has a lot of room for improvement."

More Oracle Multitenant cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"From a financial perspective, Google Cloud SQL is on the cheaper side."

"It is not expensive, especially considering the significant reduction in database management time."

"The solution is affordable."

"You need to pay extra costs for backup and replication."

"It's really cheap. It wouldn't be more than, I believe it's around 50 euro per month for running a cloud SQL."

"While the platform’s pricing may be higher, it aligns with industry standards, considering the quality of service and features provided."

"The pricing is very much an important factor as to why we use this solution."

"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."

"This solution is a little bit pricey."

"The price is worth the quality."
