"Replication is a valuable feature and easy to use."
"The most valuable feature is concurrency and locking because my customers usually use databases in OLTP mode. So, for a large number of competitive users. Other features that are well valued are quick large-scale data types. It is better than Oracle."
"There have been no issues in relation to stability. We've never really had do to any recoveries. It is very stable."
"The additional value of having Java inside the Oracle database is all the security that is applied to an Oracle database will be enforced on Java's stored procedures as well."

"The solution lacks some functionality."
"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 biggest lesson that I have learned from using Oracle products is vendor lock-in."
"It'll be better if Oracle Java supports open source technologies, like Node.js."
"The solution could be more user-friendly."
"In terms of improvement, I'd like an automation tool that is lower priced. The core prices are very high."
"The solution should continue to keep updating and improving the Java language."
"Needs improvement in consistency issues with respect to timeframes."
