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."
"The procedures work very well."
"It is a very solid and stable product."
"Oracle enables us to handle more than a million daily transactions."
"For colleagues who are in the financial business and are looking into what kind of product they want to use for their databases - I would recommend using the Oracle Database because in terms of the security and in terms of the audit process it's top notch."
"Technical support is great."
"The original Oracle Database is good for us, especially because even if the ERP is running on Java, we still get good performances."
"Oracle Database has good performance dynamics with respect to oncoming data and fetching of data which gets loaded."
"Scalability, reliability, and performance are what we are getting with this solution; it is highly scalable and has very good performance, with in-built monitoring and an optimized optimizer."
 

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."
"The solution can be quite expensive."
"When it comes to Oracle, the only complaint that I have is their support. For business-critical cases, finding support is a little bit difficult because of the timezone difference."
"I would like to see improvements with caching."
"The database environment needs to be cheaper. By making it less expensive, Oracle would be more competitive with other database vendors."
"It's really not very user-friendly. Once installed and set up, there are still a lot of other steps we've had to take to get it functioning the way we want and need it to."
"Despite the fact that it's the most expensive of the RDBMS solution available, there's a reason why Oracle Database has the largest market share."
"Scalability is a problem for us."
"The Oracle Database could improve on integration with other infrastructure systems like Active Directory."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Oracle Database is expensive."
"Licensing is on a yearly basis."
"The tool's pricing is high and yearly."
"Generally, when you buy Oracle Database, and if you're buying it for your own data center on the on-prem side, you have to go by the processor cores and the list price is around $47,500 for the enterprise edition per core."
"Seeing as a lot of our applications use Oracle, our team has been able to negotiate a better deal."
"We need to pay an annual subscription for the solution, which is moderately priced."
"Oracle is an expensive product."
"The price of Oracle Database is too expensive and especially for individual environments. The pricing model is not clear, if I want to run it on a virtual environment, I still need to license the whole physical box."
