"The most valuable features of this solution are the cost optimizer and partition exchanges."
"The interface is easy to use."
"Oracle is a good database with decent performance, which is fortunate because we are required to use this database for our ERP system. Even if we thought Oracle was the worst database in the world, we would still have to use it."
"Oracle Database is highly scalable."
"Its security and reliability are most valuable."
"The tool is efficient and fast compared to other alternatives. The tool's processing speed is fast, and we've experienced minimal hang-ups. This enables us to address queries within a shorter time frame. I wouldn't say it's just one particular feature, but overall, the efficiency and speed of Oracle Database have had a significant impact. Our support systems are more efficient, allowing us to accomplish tasks quickly."
"It's powerful and fast, and the backup system is wonderful."

"I really would love to have a QT plugin."
"I experienced poor input/output (IO) performance."
"In my opinion, the packages could be improved. The version I use doesn't allow for packages. I can do some general procedures, but no packages like in Oracle. So, develop separate modules in SQL language. This would be most beneficial for me."
"Continue extending the SQL language for compatibility with the competition's language, including Stored Procedure Language."
"The support team could include local engineers to establish efficient communication. It will help us speed up the escalation process."
"I would like to see backups from secondary servers."
"The solution really doesn't add new features very often."
"The cost needs to be reduced because right now, all of our customers are asking us about how they can migrate to any open-source database."
"Technical support needs improvement."
"The previous version was a little clunky."
"They could improve the scalability a bit. There are other options that are more scalable, for example."
"Cost is always a concern."
"The solution could be cheaper."
"Since the solution is from Oracle it tends to be complex when trying to integrate with other solutions."
"The price of the solution should be lower."
