Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"We have found all of the features of this solution to be valuable to our organization.""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 initial setup is not too difficult, and on a scale from one to ten with one being the most difficult and ten being the easiest, I'd rate it at eight. The initial deployment can be done in an hour.""Oracle Database as a Service is stable.""Data Guard is the best solution for Disaster Recovery.""The scalability and high availability are the most valuable features of Oracle DaaS.""It is a product brought to you by a company that concentrates only on database solutions, so it is the best at what it does.""We value the single data run that the solution provides."

More Oracle Database as a Service Pros →

"The most valuable feature is the ability to create pipelines, streamline and extract data from the pipelines.""The product can automatically reinstall and reconfigure in case of a shutdown.""The paramount advantage is the exceptional speed.""The product's initial setup phase was pretty straightforward, with no complex processes.""MemSQL supports the MySQL protocol, and many functions are similar, so the learning curve is very short.""It's a distributed relational database, so it does not have a single server, it has multiple servers. Its architecture itself is fast because it has multiple nodes to distribute the workload and process large amounts of data.""The ability to store data in memory is a standout feature, enhanced by robust failover mechanisms."

Cons
"Debugging this solution is challenging.""I have had a hard time finding some documentation. There should provide easier accessible documentation for Oracle Database as a Service.""We'd like to see better support for non-structured data and in-memory load.""Improvement in Oracle DBaaS could focus on enhancing performance monitoring and reporting tools.""The solution provides the same type of RDBMS engine for all use cases. They need to provide different products that will be suitable for all use cases. The solution does not support the documentation of databases.""They should add more integration to the solution.""Oracle DBaaS could be compatible with more platforms.""Earlier, the interface was continuously changing. Features you used would be moved somewhere else, so it was a little challenging to navigate, but now I think it's stable."

More Oracle Database as a Service Cons →

"There should be more pipelines available because I think that if MemSQL can connect to other services, that would be great.""We don't get good discounts in Pakistan.""It is not the optimal choice for direct data collection through queries, and it's more suited for aggregation tasks.""Having the ability to migrate servers using a single command would be extremely beneficial.""The product can be developed further to provide more appropriate output to users as it is one of the areas where there are shortcomings.""Poor key distribution can significantly impact performance, requiring a backward approach in design rather than adding tables incrementally.""For new customers, it's very tough to start. Their documentation isn't organized, and there's no online training available. SingleStore is working on it, but that's a major drawback."

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."

  • "I would advise users to try the free 128GB version."
  • "SingleStore is a bit expensive."
  • "The product's licensing is not expensive. It is comparable."
  • "Using it for analytical purposes can be cost-effective in the long run, especially in terms of infrastructure."
  • "The price of the product is okay compared to the other available solutions in the market. SingleStore is a reasonably priced product, considering the functions it offers."
