User-friendly solution but data modelling could be simplified
So far, it looks stable for us. One other good thing is that the platform is software as a subscription, and Oracle regularly releases updates. They are quarterly and are fairly updated; they don't really introduce any new features without informing customers in advance about the upcoming releases. So they're constantly improving it, and there is a regular upgrade. I'm like, "You know, you need to do a version upgrade and optimize. Maybe we do it once in three years or five years." But the cloud solution is where there are constant updates and ticketing releases every quarterly. So that's something which is very good. You don't have to wait for, you know, the version upgrades or something where the new features are expected only in the new version and whatever it is here. It is continuous development and also continuous releases of new features. That's something good in terms of their cloud solutions.

Cons
