Excellent reporting server that is compatible with MySQL
We ran into some quirks that Infobright had. We interacted with Infobright's support and were able to resolve them. There still are issues with data replication - Infobright is currently for one server (unless you buy the Infobright appliance). This would mean that redundancy is something you need to implement yourself.
Ismail Aboulezz - PeerSpot reviewer
Continuous updates improve performance and add valuable features to meet workload demands
Oracle Database is easy to install, customize, troubleshoot, and maintain. Its data management capabilities include data quality, data integration, data architecture, modeling, and data security, which are very important for data-driven companies. Furthermore, Oracle Database's performance and scalability features meet workload demands, and its continuous updates improve performance and add valuable features.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It has very amazing smart grid query feature for very fast aggregate queries across millions of rows"
"It provided better insight and diagnostics when data problems were encountered by the application."
"The support is always very helpful and responsive."
"Oracle Database is easy to install, customize, troubleshoot, and maintain."
"The feature that I worked with and that excited me the most is one that is not available in other databases, and it involves the use of Java Runtime."
"You can install Oracle Database software, patching, and create/configure Oracle databases in silent using scripts"
"I have found the most valuable feature to be the performance. We have a large database in my company and there is not likely a solution that has the performance we need."
"Significant assistance in tuning both the migration process and the production database was provided by Oracle Consulting Services, which provided excellent and very professional advice."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Database is its responsiveness."
 

Cons

"Only the data from the columns that reached 2GB will actually decrease. Other columns below 2GB in size do not leave the disk."
"In general, the support is not good since most of the time the person whom you are given to is not so professional."
"There is a new version of Oracle and Database Firewall, version 20, for which I would be interested in receiving training."
"The initial setup should be improved."
"The documentation needs improvement because as it is now, providing support is a headache."
"An area for improvement would be query performance - in some cases, it's really, really hard to make it run faster."
"I have contacted the support from Oracle and they are sometimes slow."
"Lacks features that would improve database performance."
"The installation of the product could be designed to be simpler."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our pricing was based on server instances and it was actually very cheap compared to Oracle. I guess you get what you pay for."
"Licensing is on a yearly basis."
"Pricing for this solution is on the high side. Their licensing policy also needs to be improved."
"The pricing is something that Oracle should work on to make the product more affordable, especially to businesses in third-world countries."
"The tool's pricing is high and yearly."
"I rate Oracle Database's pricing a four out of ten."
"The product is costly."
"The price is relative. Licensing costs differ based on how often you'll use the product. They also provide discounts based on the bandwidth or the use cases you want to run on it."
"The licensing costs are on a yearly basis."
