Simplifies database management tasks and provides high availability and disaster recovery
Oracle Database Appliance has simplified our database management tasks. Our clients are using the solution for high availability and disaster recovery. Our overall experience with the solution was good, especially the DR. Oracle Database Appliance's integrated storage solutions have enhanced our data management. Oracle Database Appliance's integration with other solutions was straightforward. We faced compatibility issues while moving from another device to this one, and the integration was not seamless. I would recommend the solution to other users. Overall, I rate the solution an 8 out of 10.

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

"The database is solid."
"The product’s valuable feature is its capability to pre-configure and pre-install the settings."
"Oracle Database Appliance is a stable solution. We have clients that have been running it for 10 years."
"The initial setup was straightforward and quick - I was able to configure everything within an hour."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of dashboarding and ease of reporting."
"Easy management (it saves a lot of installation and patching time)."
"We use the solution for our Java applications."
"The main feature is the management and manageability of the tool. We can create a VM on a laptop within a couple of clicks."
"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 Database Appliance is stopping support for the standard edition and only continuing support for the RAC One Node. They did not inform us and we are having problems with our customers. We are not having to change our systems from standard to something else."
"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."
"The product's pricing is too high. We plan to migrate to another database in three to four years."
"Oracle Database Appliance patching comes out two to three months after the regular patching cycle."
"They could incorporate a more secure and internet-centric management system for the platform."
"I would like it if the scalability could be increased without having to change versions."
"Oracle could improve its capacity for built-in visualization."
"Improvements need to be made on the load balancing side."
"The solution's setup could be quicker and easier."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Leverage the Pay-As-You-Grow licensing, and consider using the ODA X6-2 S/M/L models also for SE2/SE."
"The price should be lower."
"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."
"Get benefit from the capacity-on-demand features. License your cores according to your licenses."
"Oracle Database Appliance is a very expensive solution. If you have opted for the on-premises licenses from Oracle, then you have to pay yearly. If you have opted for the cloud subscriptions offered by Oracle, then you can pay either monthly or yearly."
"You must pay for the license."
"Compared to Oracle Exadata, Oracle Database Appliance is affordable."
"The product is costly."
"The solution might be considered a bit expensive because it competes with open-source products."

Questions from the Community

What do you like most about Oracle Database Appliance?
Oracle Database Appliance provides high stability.
What is your experience regarding pricing and costs for Oracle Database Appliance?
While I'm somewhat familiar with standard licensing, pricing isn't really my area of expertise. However, Oracle is on the higher end of the pricing spectrum, along with SAP.
What needs improvement with Oracle Database Appliance?
There is room for improvement in better integration with third-party tools, such as Power BI or Redshift. When dealing with federated data sources, this integration can be a challenge.
