Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"We value the single data run that the solution provides.""When we want more information on something that we are using, it is easy to find related topics on the internet.""Improves client satisfaction by decreasing their problems.""I like the solution’s performance and real application concepts.""Scalability is very easy. If you want to, you can make it onto two or three servers, racks, or whatever you want. It's easy.""Oracle Database as a Service's most valuable feature is its financial applications.""Oracle has helped our organization by being a reliable solution that is stable with zero crashes. The differentiation between Oracle's database and other databases is that Oracle needs more attention. It's not a click here, click there solution, it needs more time put in, but once you do that, it's ready to go and you can forget about it.""The most valuable feature of Oracle Database as a Service is that it is managed by the vendor and you do not have to purchase on-premise hardware."

Cons
"Oracle Database as a Service is very convenient to use. However, we need to know to which schema we want it to connect specifically, and what are the username and password. The solution requires some basic knowledge of SQL RP and SQL Oracle to use it.""The licensing model is complicated and should be simplified.""The initial setup is complex. This is not a really easy solution. It is very large, so it's hard to install, but it's not impossible.""The product is very expensive.""There is room for improvement in terms of flexibility.""The ROI has not been good.""An 8GB download for software is far too big. Nowadays it should be possible to simply use RPM packages on Linux/Unix.""The interface can be difficult and there may be so many features that users and even vendors are unaware that they exist."

More Oracle Database as a Service Cons →

"The only thing is the lack of a GUI application. There was a time when we needed to resolve an issue in production. If we had a GUI, it would have been easier.""I would prefer it if there was more information available about Redis. That would make it easier for new beginners. Currently, there is a lack of resources.""The development of clusters could improve. Additionally, it would be helpful if it was integrated with Amazon AWS or Google Cloud.""Sometimes, we use Redis as a cluster, and the clusters can sometimes suffer some issues and bring some downtime to your application.""In future releases, I would like Redis to provide its users with an option like schema validation. Currently, the solution lacks to offer such functionality.""There is a lack of documentation on the scalability of the solution.""The initial setup took some time as our technical team needed to familiarize themselves with Redis."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The licensing is a nightmare. Tons of options which need to be licensed individually, and no real offering for VMware or other Hypervisors."
  • "There should be a standard way to license the database in a virtual environment (e.g. VMware) and there should be a low-end version (like Standard Edition One) again."
  • "The price depends on the solution you choose: standard, enterprise, or high performance. For example, enterprise can start between 0.4 an hour up to 1,800. Additional fees also depends on what package you choose. Your feels will be different if you choose the standard, enterprise, high performance, or extreme package. You will pay in relation to what option you ask for. The price is very good if you compare it to other databases."
  • "The pricing may seem expensive, but the value corresponds to the quality of the product."
  • "The pricing is a little bit expensive."
  • "The price of Oracle Database as a Service could be better."
  • "I do not know firsthand about the price of Oracle Database as a Service, but it is known that Oracle solutions tend to be priced higher than competitors."
  • "For on-premises, a perpetual license is a standard $17,500 plus 22% for one year of support."
