Has improved data security and automation while supporting large-scale storage and migration
I do not use the Global Reach feature. Regarding metrics and performance, I don’t recall the exact performance metrics, but we use ETL processes to monitor and manage migration performance and data quality. Oracle Database Cloud Service is strong for data management and storage, as well as for its security features and automation of data dumps and archiving. Overall, Oracle Database Cloud Service is a solid product. It’s well-suited for financial platforms. Oracle provides both its on-premises and cloud-based suites, and the company continues to evolve, offering more components for data storage, data management, and integration with other tools and SaaS solutions. I plan to continue using Oracle Database Cloud Service, particularly for managing SaaS tools in financial contexts.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I recommend Oracle Database Cloud Service as a good technology with excellent support and documentation."
"Oracle Database Cloud Service is good for managing data and storage, and also with the security and automation of the dump and graduate data."
"The self-maintenance features, auto maintenance, cleanup, and backup are the most valuable aspects of Oracle Database Cloud Service."
"Data storage is the most valuable feature of Oracle Database Cloud Service."
"It is a very stable program."
"Some advantages of Oracle Database Cloud Service are its availability, performance, and affordability."
"Oracle DCS's most valuable features are its high availability and scalability."
"What I like best about Oracle Database Cloud Service is its nice performance. My company doesn't have any problems with the service. The technical support for it is also good. My company is satisfied with Oracle Database Cloud Service. I also like the availability of the service. It's a trustworthy service. I didn't experience any downtime from it. My company also has additional features included in the contract, such as WAP, which makes operations easier. My team can implement all the architecture with the features and services that Oracle Database Cloud Service offers. Technically, this is a very, very, good product or database, whether on-premises or on the cloud."
"There are only benefits to using this solution."
"Multitenant has a container database with many pluggable databases."
"This solution is scalable. This is a good product for consolidation purposes."
"The modernization aspect of Oracle Multitenant is significant; it wasn't available previously in database technology, but now it is, enhancing database consolidation."
"The ability to create multiple databases without using any additional memory and CPU, and reallocating resources among these databases as needed, dynamically, without restarting."
"Oracle Multitenant reduces operational costs because it licenses the root container for multiple databases, costing less than traditional non-CDB databases, which results in financial savings for the company."
"The best thing about Oracle Multitenant is its ability to consolidate multiple databases into one engine."
"Oracle is a more automated database."
 

Cons

"Oracle Cloud is very strong in the database, but it is not as comprehensive as AWS or Azure."
"The user interface of the database could be like SQL Developer on-premise. The scripts are not persistent in the cloud, and the export of the data is not quite like on-prem."
"The availability of different editions within Oracle Database Cloud Service could be improved."
"I would rate the quality of technical support from Oracle as a five out of ten. Some of my colleagues have found the duration of service to be too long and lacking in technical detail."
"The initial setup is a bit complex for the beginner, so you need a little technical experience to install it."
"Oracle Database Cloud Service could improve by adding some cross-region replication features."
"We're actually going through licensing issues and are looking to perhaps changing to another solution, something that is perhaps open-source."
"Oracle should work on the solution's compatibility issues with the operating system."
"Oracle license pricing is an issue due to its high cost. Our organization is compelled to reduce CPU usage by seventy CPUs because the Oracle license cost depends on it."
"The user interface for this solution can be made better."
"Oracle has a lot of work to do with Multitenant because it's a new feature."
"While the product is overall excellent, it is quite expensive."
"Technical support could be faster."
"The Oracle Database support is not very good, unfortunately."
"Even though we say Unplug Plug Upgrade is a very good feature and it does work, we are seeing that sometimes it takes longer than what we expect for larger databases."
"The only issue is that shared files for the main container affect all container databases if something happens to them."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing for Oracle Database Cloud Service could be more competitive. Lately, pricing for it has been increasing, so my company may have to review different options to find a solution with competitive pricing. From what I know, there's no additional cost apart from the standard licensing fees for Oracle Database Cloud Service."
"Price is always higher for all Oracle products."
"The tool is not cheap."
"I think the program is rather expensive, so I would like to see it becoming more affordable."
"The product has reasonable pricing. I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."
"Every year we are increasing the price of the solution. There is hardware licensing available. We pay approximately $20,000 monthly to use the solution."
"The price is worth the quality."
"This solution is a little bit pricey."
"For me, I will go with it if I have the budget. Some features are nicer than before, but at the end of the day, you always have a limited budget. I prefer to upgrade and get a specific hardware when possible. At the end, you will have to make a compromise. You will not get everything you would have liked to have."
