MySQL DBA at a financial services firm with 51-200 employees
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.

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

"It has very amazing smart grid query feature for very fast aggregate queries across millions of rows"
"The performance of ad hoc aggregation queries is superior to any RDBMS that I have used and I have used them all."
"ICE helped us improve the speed for the “group-by” query by 10x."
"A valuable feature was the use of a columnar database for large, ever-growing, big datasets."
"We now have multiple times faster queries in comparison to MS SQL."
"The high compression and the relatively fast load for a free product."
"Infobright gave us the ability to avoid significant changes in our data structure and just use Infobright like BigDataMySql."
"Infobright allowed us to reduce the number of moving parts and complexity that we had while providing good performance to produce our reports."
"Some advantages of Oracle Database Cloud Service are its availability, performance, and affordability."
"We really like the flexibility of adding more resources and the overall administration interface."
"Oracle Database Cloud Service is good for managing data and storage, and also with the security and automation of the dump and graduate data."
"Data storage is the most valuable feature of Oracle Database Cloud Service."
"Oracle DCS is stable and easy to use, scale, and maintain."
"The product’s most valuable feature is affordable pricing compared to other providers."
"The most valuable features of Oracle Database Cloud Service are its scalability, advanced technology, cost-effectiveness, and the flexibility it provides with licensing."
"I am impressed with the product's partitioning and advanced data card."
 

Cons

"Only the data from the columns that reached 2GB will actually decrease. Other columns below 2GB in size do not leave the disk."
"When running a complex subquery, the system hangs without giving the user any response."
"MPP, distributed processing!!! And better integration with Hadoop."
"There still are issues with data replication - Infobright is currently for one server (unless you buy the Infobright appliance)."
"On the contrary, we have switched back to the MS SSAS Tabular Model, because of pricing policy."
"We didn’t purchase the Enterprise Edition because it was too expensive for a product that wasn’t going to replace our main DWH database (Oracle), but was, somehow, only an addition for it."
"There was no scalability at all. Infobright didn't permit any changes in tables."
"After all the re-work to our product to remove as much reliance on Infobright, and the extra hardware costs we had to absorb, there was definitely a negative return on investment."
"The initial setup is a bit complex for the beginner, so you need a little technical experience to install it."
"Oracle Database Cloud Service has room for improvement in handling large-scale applications."
"The pricing must be improved."
"Oracle Database Cloud Service is a good engine and at the moment, there isn't any new feature I can think of that I'd like added to the service. The only problem I see in Oracle Database Cloud Service is it's more commercial, so it has a relation to how it deals with customers. I don't feel secure in a deal with Oracle because that team changes the conditions each year, and there's no representative from the team that talks to my company about new needs. Oracle needs to improve its relationship with customers and partners in general."
"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."
"It would be nice to have a data dictionary reporting feature in the solution."
"In my opinion, the price of Oracle Database Cloud Service should be more affordable. Additionally, the interface of the application could be more user-friendly."
"Oracle Cloud is very strong in the database, but it is not as comprehensive as AWS or Azure."
 

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."
"Price is always higher for all Oracle products."
"The product has reasonable pricing. I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."
"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."
"The tool is not cheap."
