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.

High-speed data processing, seamless scalability, and excellent high availability making it an optimal choice for those prioritizing performance and efficiency in a database solution

There's a noteworthy consideration when it comes to collecting massive amounts of data. It is not the optimal choice for direct data collection through queries, and it's more suited for aggregation tasks. Attempting to use it for direct extraction, for instance, might lead to memory-related challenges. While MySQL version five might lack extensive SQL capabilities, SingleStore also has its constraints, requiring simpler SQL writing. This becomes evident when seeking advanced functionalities like window functions or JSON functions, where SingleStore doesn't offer an extensive toolkit, necessitating a more straightforward approach to SQL.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

"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."

"Security is the most valuable feature provided by the product."

"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."

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

"I am impressed with the product's partitioning and advanced data card."

More Oracle Database Cloud Service pros

"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 paramount advantage is the exceptional speed."

"The ability to store data in memory is a standout feature, enhanced by robust failover mechanisms."

"The product can automatically reinstall and reconfigure in case of a shutdown."

"The most valuable feature is the ability to create pipelines, streamline and extract data from the pipelines."

Cons

"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."

"In my opinion, the price of Oracle Database Cloud Service should be more affordable. Additionally, the interface of the application could be more user-friendly."

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

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

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

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

"It would be nice to have a data dictionary reporting feature in the solution."

More Oracle Database Cloud Service cons

"It is not the optimal choice for direct data collection through queries, and it's more suited for aggregation tasks."

"We don't get good discounts in Pakistan."

"There should be more pipelines available because I think that if MemSQL can connect to other services, that would be great."

"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."

"Poor key distribution can significantly impact performance, requiring a backward approach in design rather than adding tables incrementally."

"Having the ability to migrate servers using a single command would be extremely beneficial."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"Price is always higher for all Oracle products."

"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 tool is not cheap."

"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."

"They have two main options: cloud installation and bare-metal installation, each with different pricing models."

"Using it for analytical purposes can be cost-effective in the long run, especially in terms of infrastructure."

"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."
