Self-maintenance features reduce downtime and improve efficiency but enterprise edition limits can be restrictive
The availability of different editions within Oracle Database Cloud Service could be improved. The model divides their standard edition versus enterprise editions into two categories and limits the standard edition on a particular configuration set. This limitation, such as the thirty-two vCPU limit, should be removed. Another area for improvement is the affordability of the enterprise version.
Raghuram K M - PeerSpot reviewer
Ideal, stable, good support and it helps with the developer console
I have used MongoDB, MySQL, and Oracle. MongoDB is entirely different. It's a NoSQL platform database, so it's totally different. It is a little bit hard to work with. The way it is organized and structured is different. But between Microsoft Azure MySQL and Oracle, they are pretty similar. * Cost: Microsoft is not a preferred platform. Their licensing is very complex and expensive. Oracle is much better. * AI: In terms of data analytics and AI, Microsoft is better. Certain complex transformations are easier to do in MSSQL. So, if you have to analyze data from a lot of different data sources, it becomes much easier. However, the usage of the particular product depends on the project. Personally, I would like to work on MySQL. But in certain cases where the application scale is very large, and custom models from certain regions of the globe prefer Microsoft, then we have to go with MSSQL. But technically, there is not much difference.

Cons

"Oracle should work on the solution's compatibility issues with the operating system."
"We encountered connection failures for some of our sites."
"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."
"We're actually going through licensing issues and are looking to perhaps changing to another solution, something that is perhaps open-source."
"The initial setup is a bit complex for the beginner, so you need a little technical experience to install it."
"The implementation process could be easier for customers."
"There might be minor improvements, however, I can’t identify any particular areas for improvement at the moment."

"Oracle MySQL Cloud Service's scalability is an area of concern that can be better."
"The tool’s stability must be improved."
"There could be more courses where the people could learn more easily how to use the tool."
"In a production environment, upgrading from a lower to an upper version is a very long process that needs to be improved."

"The user interface is not simple."

"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."
