Automated provisioning simplifies deployment and integration
The Oracle Database Appliance is customizable and has excellent features.I don't have any problems with Oracle Database Appliance because this product is very automated, with scheduler and automatic processes throughout. You can make small inferences and changes for creating all the specific modifications. The automated provisioning feature helps speed up the database deployment process because you can use one command or option to resize all the disks or increase memory, depending on the occasion. The Oracle Database Appliance has integration in OCI Cloud. The same services simplify all the manager work regarding backups, configuration, resizing disks, and other services. Deploying the Oracle Database Appliance both on-premises and in the cloud offers the same simplification. You simply input your database name and specify memory quantity, CPU quantity, and database size. The process is identical for both on-premises and cloud deployments. The flexibility of Oracle Database Appliance has helped grow business needs for many customers. Using the Oracle Database Appliance has positively impacted my organization because I can deliver it much more comfortably. Creating a database involves many processes, but with this solution, you just input the name and configure the network and other parameters. It is very similar to RDS in AWS services, where you specify the name, choose the engine, indicate parameter groups, VPC, subnet groups, and proceed. Both Oracle Database Appliance and RDS have greatly simplified the work.

Standout features are real-time dashboards and powerful aggregation
This product has a powerful aggregating feature which is great. It also has its own APIs. Whenever the data comes in, it can be streamed out anywhere. It's the only solution that provides real-time dashboards. Tableau doesn't have this feature. The three variants of historical data, real-time data and predicted data from Spitfire, give more strength to LiveDatamart without any dependency on other products. The product is easy to set up with very low maintenance required.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I give it a nine out of 10 because it gives the customer easy access to a complete database solution within 30 minutes."
"Oracle Database Appliance is a stable solution. We have clients that have been running it for 10 years."
"We value the appliance architecture with its “everything-in-a-box” highly standardized setup."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the ability to combine all the data without the need for additional devices."
"The most valuable features are related to engineering systems, where Oracle acts as a hyperconverged infrastructure."
"Technical support was excellent."
"We use the solution for our Java applications."
"It is great to have a fully configured and tested HA environment for Oracle Database in two days."
"You can create your own rules that include mathematic calculations."
"The solution has a powerful aggregating feature"
 

Cons

"Sometimes, we cannot upgrade or patch it easily. The performance needs to improve."
"Oracle could improve its capacity for built-in visualization."
"They could incorporate a more secure and internet-centric management system for the platform."
"Even though the solution can handle a lot of data, it's just too expensive currently."
"In my opinion only one single command should be used for all ODA models, as it’s confusing."
"It had a lot of bugs, especially with the old patch bundles."
"The product's pricing is too high. We plan to migrate to another database in three to four years."
"The biggest disadvantage of this server is its availability when you patch the whole machine, i.e. when you patch the entire ODA firmware, not the databases within it."
"The solution's setup could be quicker and easier."
"Improvements need to be made on the load balancing side."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is costly."
"You must pay for the license."
"The price of the solution should be less expensive. However, they will increase the price more."
"I would rate the pricing a four on a scale of one (high price) to ten (low cost)."
"The solution's pricing is very high."
"Oracle’s pricing is ridiculously high."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing seven and a half or eight out of ten."
"Oracle Database Application's support and maintenance are included in the contract."
"The solution might be considered a bit expensive because it competes with open-source products."
