"Virtualization needs improvement. It's not easy to back up the virtual machines in the Oracle VM architecture. I would also like to see native support for Veeam Backup Software.""I would like it if the scalability could be increased without having to change versions.""In my opinion only one single command should be used for all ODA models, as it’s confusing.""If we were able to use Oracle Database to create mobile apps, that would be great. I don't know multiple languages, like Java, etc. I need to learn a separate language, right now in order to do this.""In terms of what can be be improved, I'd say Artificial Intelligence, AI. It would be really helpful if AI was incorporated within the solution.""Sometimes, we cannot upgrade or patch it easily. The performance needs to improve.""Virtualization features could also be improved. A web-based GUI would be a good start.""Oracle could improve its capacity for built-in visualization."
