Featured Reviews

Lintz Veloso - PeerSpot reviewer
IT Manager at a government with 11-50 employees
Developers have benefited from flexibility and performance but pricing has needed further attention
I am only familiar with databases and applications. I am from the development team and I am a user of database and cloud but I don't know the infrastructure. As a user, I deal with the Oracle Database. I know the organization has a license with the product. We don't utilize real-time analytics with MongoDB Atlas. I don't use MongoDB Atlas directly, so I don't know how it can be improved. I would place MongoDB Atlas at a medium level. I would rate it at a six or seven. I believe MongoDB Atlas can improve a little. My overall review rating for this product is six out of ten.

Solutions Architect at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Cloud database service has reduced admin workload and delivers reliable automated operations
There are no managed detection response solutions or backup and recovery and point detection response. Flash storage is not available as Flash Creek store. Robotics process automation and application security testing are not available; I went to the working solutions, but most of the time it did not work. Oracle Database as a Service in particular is the Oracle business suite or the Oracle data access. As far as working with it as a service, I have not even received a reply yet from the relational database service. I do not know how many people are using Oracle Database as a Service in my organization. For the diabetes service, I have used some of the perks from Arkin. I rate Oracle Database as a Service at a nine overall.
