"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."
"It is a very stable program."
"Data storage is the most valuable feature of Oracle Database Cloud Service."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Database Cloud Service is its cloud capabilities."
"Oracle DCS's most valuable features are its high availability and scalability."
"Security is the most valuable feature provided by the product."
"The product’s most valuable feature is affordable pricing compared to other providers."
"A very feature-rich solution with excellent performance."
"It's very convenient and very innovative."
"I like the integration process. Also, the data is trusted by our management, and we use the data from transactions for analysis."
"The data storage requirement is reduced from the original database to the HANA database."
"The best feature of SAP HANA is column computing. The computing speed of the solution is also very high, so developers can easily develop programs through SAP HANA."
"If you want to scale with new processes and new reports, that's fairly easy."
"We use SAP HANA for Master Data Governance."
"Anyone currently using SAP will be transitioning to HANA."
"It's great that the nodes are synchronized so if you lose one it automatically moves to another."
"Since we can automate most of our tasks, it means that the management is very easy."
"I love SQL Server's Common Table Expression. In addition to that, I like its lead and lag functions. That helped us reduce a lot of code when comparing rows in SQL Server."
"The most valuable feature is easy installation. It was very easy to install."
"The performance is good."
"I have seen that this is a very stable product."
"SQL Server stands out due to its robust parallel processing capabilities."
"The solution is very easy to use."
"The pricing must be improved."
"We're actually going through licensing issues and are looking to perhaps changing to another solution, something that is perhaps open-source."
"We encountered connection failures for some of our sites."
"Oracle should work on the solution's compatibility issues with the operating system."
"The initial setup is a bit complex for the beginner, so you need a little technical experience to install it."
"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."
"It would be nice to have a data dictionary reporting feature in the solution."
"Oracle Database Cloud Service could improve by adding some cross-region replication features."
"The relationship with a partner that sells SAP could be better. We depend much more on our own development, and the partner is for selling us the solutions, so we need them to be able to supply help and answers. The partner isn't very helpful, and we have to rely on our own knowledge and research."
"The bid process needs to be improved."
"The worst thing about SAP HANA is the price; it's very expensive. The licensing cost, implementation cost, hosting cost, and appliance cost are all high."
"I would like to see improvements in the connectivity of the solution with other BI software. Not every software can connect to it natively."
"SAP HANA is a very proprietary tool and there's not as much support available for it as there is for an SQL Server (which is more popular)."
"Technical support could be better."
"The SAP HANA interface has room for improvement because it takes more work to manage than the Microsoft SQL Server interface."
"The surface side or Attack dashboard needs improvement because there are some gaps after sales services."
"The solution could improve by having better integration."
"I would like to have more replication scenarios."
"SQL Server could improve by being more user-friendly, it is still geared towards specialists. Additionally, the monitoring system is difficult to use, not everyone can use it well. The configuration should be able to be done through the GUI."
"SQL Server doesn't have proper bitmap indexing, proper columnar databases, or proper implementation of materialized views."
"The product overall would benefit from the addition of better tutorials to help master the skills necessary to actually build a project database. Right now, what is available isn't sufficient."
"There are a lot of improvements in the cloud space about which we open a case with Microsoft every now and then. These improvements are not in terms of features or functionality. They are more related to their own compatibility or connectivity on which they keep on working to improve the product."
"The GUI needs improvement. From a technical perspective, it's quite complex, which may not be a problem for individuals with technical backgrounds like ours, especially since we've encountered similar interfaces. However, navigating the GUI can be challenging for newcomers or product owners without technical experience. For example, as someone transitioning from a developer role to a product management role, I find it relatively easy to use the GUI. But for those without a technical background, it's much more challenging to grasp what's happening."
"It would be great if we were able to run it on multiple operating systems and not only stick with Windows."
