"What I like best about Oracle Database Cloud Service is its nice performance. My company doesn't have any problems with the service. The technical support for it is also good. My company is satisfied with Oracle Database Cloud Service. I also like the availability of the service. It's a trustworthy service. I didn't experience any downtime from it. My company also has additional features included in the contract, such as WAP, which makes operations easier. My team can implement all the architecture with the features and services that Oracle Database Cloud Service offers. Technically, this is a very, very, good product or database, whether on-premises or on the cloud."
"Oracle DCS's most valuable features are its high availability and scalability."
"When I run into issues, I really have to research how to fix them."
"In terms of what I'd like to see in the next release, one thing that's always missing is dash boarding. There's no real BI tool for MySQL, like there is in Yellowfin and all the different tools that you get. They all have MySQL connectors, but there's no specific BI tool for MySQL. These open source projects have sprung up, but they're more general purpose."
"There are some issues with compatibility with Java environments that need to be improved. When Oracle bought this solution there were some driver changes that caused some issues with operations."
"From a user perspective, the initial setup could be simplified a bit."
"The integration with other systems can be improved as can the integration between other databases."
"I would rate the stability a seven out of ten. It does break down a little at times."
"We have encountered some performance issues, and the solution takes time for performing complex queries."
"When working with a cluster wide, I have to use the MySQL cluster version."
"We're actually going through licensing issues and are looking to perhaps changing to another solution, something that is perhaps open-source."
"We encountered connection failures for some of our sites."
"The initial setup is a bit complex for the beginner, so you need a little technical experience to install it."
"Oracle should work on the solution's compatibility issues with the operating system."
"It would be nice to have a data dictionary reporting feature in the solution."
"The pricing must be improved."
"Oracle Database Cloud Service is a good engine and at the moment, there isn't any new feature I can think of that I'd like added to the service. The only problem I see in Oracle Database Cloud Service is it's more commercial, so it has a relation to how it deals with customers. I don't feel secure in a deal with Oracle because that team changes the conditions each year, and there's no representative from the team that talks to my company about new needs. Oracle needs to improve its relationship with customers and partners in general."
"Oracle Database Cloud Service could improve by adding some cross-region replication features."
