Executive Vice President and Global Head of Research and Development at Bqube Global
Easy to scale and good record to report capabilities but needs better training
It's not a very popular tool. There are very limited resources available in the market in terms of implementation. They need to offer training plans for graduates so that more resources are available in the market. The support needs to be faster. The solution needs to be lighter. It's a bit too heavy.
Muhammad Usman Muzaffar - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Vice President IT Operations at ZTBL
Running secure internal banking applications has been reliable and supports fast deployments
I am still working with Oracle products. I am still using Enterprise Manager 14c. I am using Oracle Database, Oracle ExaCC, Oracle EBS, Oracle WebLogic, Oracle Enterprise Manager, and Oracle Linux. I can answer questions about my experience with WebLogic Suite. I use it in my company. I have not used WebLogic's diagnostic tools. I do not utilize its lifecycle management features. I do not have much experience with WebLogic Java EE support, as I just deploy the application and the other team utilizes this server. I am not directly involved in WebLogic. I have been using Oracle Linux myself. The deployment is local, on-premises. I have been working with Enterprise Manager as well. All the components of Oracle I am using are on-premises. I use Oracle 19c database, Oracle ExaCC, Exadata on Cloud at Customer. I have been using Oracle Linux, Enterprise Manager, and databases as well. I have been working with Oracle Database for about 20 years. My experience has been 100% positive with Oracle Database. I have utilized its Real Application Clusters along with Data Guard. I do not use Oracle's Advanced Analytics and machine learning features right now. I have given this review an overall rating of 9 out of 10.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution scales easily."
"A very reliable solution."
"The scalability is quite good."
"I've never faced any stability issues with the product. I don't recall any bugs, glitches, or crashes. I'd say it's fairly stable and shouldn't cause anyone issues in that regard."
"The main feature of Oracle Database is its performance."
"I like the design of the database because it works well. I also like the stability of the solution."
"Oracle database is more reliable than anything else."
"The most valuable feature is the TDE advanced security as there are several options of different encryption algorithms and it's also easy to implement Tablespace Encryption."
"Now when our application has become mission-critical, even with the SE version we are able to deal with a complete load very efficiently and effectively."
 

Cons

"There are very limited resources available in the market in terms of implementation. They need to offer training plans for graduates so that more resources are available in the market."
"Lack of support for Oracle Text Indexing with all the various partitioning options."
"They could improve the storage and network overhead. They could minimize the storage to improve performance further."
"The local support is fine, but the global support is terrible, and not worth the cost."
"Customer support could be faster, you currently have to write your issue to them and then they will get back to you after 24-hours."
"It would be better if the administrator part could be simplified. At the moment, we need specialized skills for managing or administering Oracle Database. If that is simplified, my juniors or basic database engineers could use it. Right now, we need specific administrative skills to manage the Oracle Server."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
"Probably about 80% of their online documentation is useless. When you go to the Oracle documentation, you have to plow through page after page of stuff to get to anything that looks anything like an example of what it is that you might actually do. There are lots of other people who have filled that gap, and there are also websites where you can easily find the answers to most of your questions."
"Frankly speaking, Oracle Database is very expensive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The price of Oracle Database could improve, it is expensive and they are paid annually. We are looking for lower pricing and flexible pricing plans, they are very rigid in the price."
"My company has opted for perpetual licensing. We only need to make payments toward the licensing of the product."
"You buy it initially, and then you pay for yearly support if you need support. If you don't need support, you can also use it without the support."
"It's not cheap, but sometimes, you get what you pay for."
"It was purchased by our client. It might have been a one-time payment. It doesn't seem to be very expensive."
"The price of the solution could be reduced."
"The licensing cost is not based on a yearly subscription but rather on the number of devices used annually."
"We pay for an annual license as well as monthly support."
