Offers reliable data management and simple to use but requires more intuitive configuration

I am not very happy with Oracle Support. Over the past four to five years, I have experienced many problems when opening support requests. A lot of the time, the support asks the same questions repeatedly, which takes time. Usually, I solve my issue myself before they give me solutions. It seems like they do not really understand my problem, even if I translate what I want to say from Italian with tools like Google Translate. Sometimes it is very difficult to communicate with them. We have some Oracle support staff in Italy whom I can reach directly, which helps, but there seems to be a problem with the support requests. It is also an issue when different Oracle representatives handle my request at different times and ask me to explain the problem again despite it being written in the support request. This makes it very frustrating. Additionally, issues arise with product understanding. For example, in dedicated infrastructure, the Oracle staff handling the support request may not be familiar with the product or suggest solutions suitable for other infrastructures but not mine. Oracle Support should know the solutions that fit my infrastructure since they manage it, not me.

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

Pros

"It is fully featured. It has allowed me to do everything I wanted to do."

"We are heavily involved with GitHub for managing repositories, automatic deployments, and inner source projects."

"This has significantly eased the process of migration from on-premise to cloud. Instead of configuring everything from the ground up, the Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service has made it seamless to build and render databases in cloud."

"Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service is valued for its ability to replicate data in real-time, offering significant benefits from a data perspective."

"GoldenGate's best features are the desktop security features."

"Oracle Database generally guarantees a good response for customer use cases."

"GoldenGate can aggregate various data types from different sources."

"It provides a good response for external microservices applications."

"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

Cons

"The user interface could improve. We are looking at some cloud-based databases, and I don't think they support that."

"Oracle is always adding new features. I can't think of anything that's urgent currently."

"Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service lacks AI. If AI gets introduced in Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service, it would be much easier to do analysis."

"Pricing is rather expensive. Oracle typically prices on the higher side, and there is scope for them to reconsider the price, especially since it is a cloud service."

"More technical documentation is needed, especially in terms of mapping and conversion of data, while integration would also be very helpful."

"Over the past four to five years, I have experienced many problems when opening support requests."

"The initial setup was a little complex, and we required support from Oracle to complete it."

"I am not very happy with Oracle Support. Over the past four to five years, I have experienced many problems when opening support requests."

"Support could be improved. They lack knowledge."
