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

"Infobright gave us the ability to avoid significant changes in our data structure and just use Infobright like BigDataMySql."
"It is very straightforward and easy to work with."
"The performance of ad hoc aggregation queries is superior to any RDBMS that I have used and I have used them all."
"It has very amazing smart grid query feature for very fast aggregate queries across millions of rows"
"We now have multiple times faster queries in comparison to MS SQL."
"The high compression and the relatively fast load for a free product."
"A valuable feature was the use of a columnar database for large, ever-growing, big datasets."
"Infobright allowed us to reduce the number of moving parts and complexity that we had while providing good performance to produce our reports."
"What I like best about Oracle Database Cloud Service is its nice performance. My company doesn't have any problems with the service. The technical support for it is also good. My company is satisfied with Oracle Database Cloud Service. I also like the availability of the service. It's a trustworthy service. I didn't experience any downtime from it. My company also has additional features included in the contract, such as WAP, which makes operations easier. My team can implement all the architecture with the features and services that Oracle Database Cloud Service offers. Technically, this is a very, very, good product or database, whether on-premises or on the cloud."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Database Cloud Service is its cloud capabilities."
"Oracle DCS is stable and easy to use, scale, and maintain."
"The self-maintenance features, auto maintenance, cleanup, and backup are the most valuable aspects of Oracle Database Cloud Service."
"Security is the most valuable feature provided by the product."
"The product’s most valuable feature is affordable pricing compared to other providers."
"Oracle DCS's most valuable features are its high availability and scalability."
"Some advantages of Oracle Database Cloud Service are its availability, performance, and affordability."
 

Cons

"There was no scalability at all. Infobright didn't permit any changes in tables."
"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."
"When running a complex subquery, the system hangs without giving the user any response."
"There still are issues with data replication - Infobright is currently for one server (unless you buy the Infobright appliance)."
"MPP, distributed processing!!! And better integration with Hadoop."
"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."
"Only the data from the columns that reached 2GB will actually decrease. Other columns below 2GB in size do not leave the disk."
"On the contrary, we have switched back to the MS SSAS Tabular Model, because of pricing policy."
"The implementation process could be easier for customers."
"It would be nice to have a data dictionary reporting feature in the solution."
"Oracle should work on the solution's compatibility issues with the operating system."
"Oracle Database Cloud Service could improve by adding some cross-region replication features."
"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."
"The pricing must be improved."
"I would rate the quality of technical support from Oracle as a five out of ten. Some of my colleagues have found the duration of service to be too long and lacking in technical detail."
"We're actually going through licensing issues and are looking to perhaps changing to another solution, something that is perhaps open-source."
 

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."
"The tool is not cheap."
"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."
"Price is always higher for all Oracle products."
"The product has reasonable pricing. I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."
"I think the program is rather expensive, so I would like to see it becoming more affordable."
"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."
