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.

Manages extensive utility billing applications efficiently with trusted performance and robust support

Currently, I have a very good experience with Oracle Multitenant. The pluggable database is easy to handle and manage, sharing resources efficiently. However, 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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The self-maintenance features, auto maintenance, cleanup, and backup are the most valuable aspects of Oracle Database Cloud Service."

"Oracle DCS's most valuable features are its high availability and scalability."

"The product’s most valuable feature is affordable pricing compared to other providers."

"The most valuable features of Oracle Database Cloud Service are its scalability, advanced technology, cost-effectiveness, and the flexibility it provides with licensing."

"I recommend Oracle Database Cloud Service as a good technology with excellent support and documentation."

"Data storage is the most valuable feature of Oracle Database Cloud Service."

"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 most valuable feature of Oracle Database Cloud Service is its cloud capabilities."

More Oracle Database Cloud Service pros

"Multitenant has a container database with many pluggable databases."

"It is quite stable. We have not faced any kind of instability in the database."

"The stability of Oracle Multitenant is excellent, and I would rate it a nine out of ten."

"You can scale the solution as needed."

"The best thing about Oracle Multitenant is its ability to consolidate multiple databases into one engine."

"I would rate the scalability a ten out of ten. Our clients are mostly medium and enterprise businesses."

"Maintaining databases is a valuable feature for us."

"The analytics tool, Oracle Analytics Server (OAS), is the main important component of this solution and in the analytics part, the VPD handles all the necessary functions effectively."

More Oracle Multitenant pros

Cons

"We encountered connection failures for some of our sites."

"Oracle should work on the solution's compatibility issues with the operating system."

"The implementation process could be easier for customers."

"Oracle Cloud is very strong in the database, but it is not as comprehensive as AWS or Azure."

"We're actually going through licensing issues and are looking to perhaps changing to another solution, something that is perhaps open-source."

"Oracle Database Cloud Service is a good engine and at the moment, there isn't any new feature I can think of that I'd like added to the service. The only problem I see in Oracle Database Cloud Service is it's more commercial, so it has a relation to how it deals with customers. I don't feel secure in a deal with Oracle because that team changes the conditions each year, and there's no representative from the team that talks to my company about new needs. Oracle needs to improve its relationship with customers and partners in general."

"Oracle Database Cloud Service could improve by adding some cross-region replication features."

"The availability of different editions within Oracle Database Cloud Service could be improved."

More Oracle Database Cloud Service cons

"It would be beneficial to include this solution with Oracle Enterprise, but Oracle charges additional fees for it."

"That said, Oracle in general doesn't invest in their UI for any of their applications. If we're talking about the dashboard or other user experience, there is room for improvement. I'm talking about on premises. The cloud version has started to improve."

"While the product is overall excellent, it is quite expensive."

"There is room for improvement in customer service and support."

"From the scope of improvement, I would say that people are adopting new query options. Certain databases like MongoDB adopt new query options so that they can just pull the data."

"Technical support could be faster."

"It can be complicated to scale up the solution, but it's scalable."

"The solution lacks a GUI for commands."

More Oracle Multitenant cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Price is always higher for all Oracle products."

"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."

"The product has reasonable pricing. I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."

"The tool is not cheap."

"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."

"I think the program is rather expensive, so I would like to see it becoming more affordable."

"This solution is a little bit pricey."

"The price is worth the quality."

"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."
