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.

Quotes from Members

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

"Initiate on one node, and the RPM propagates automatically to all other nodes. "

"Vertica enabled us to close large deals. Customers with large data sets had to be migrated from PostgreSQL to Vertica due to performance."

Cons

"Limitations in group by projections is where I would like to see an improvement."

"If you do not utilize the tuning tools like projections, encoding, partitions, and statistics, then performance and scalability will suffer."

"Fact-to-fact joins on multi-billion record tables perform poorly."

"Vertica's native cloud support could be improved, and its installation could be made easier."

"Whatever's out, the core is not always as great as the engine, especially their first version."

"I believe the installation process could be streamlined."

"It's hard to make it slow for a small data volume. For large volumes, it's hard to make it work. It's also hard to make it faster, and to make it scale."

More OpenText Analytics Database (Vertica) cons

"Oracle Database Cloud Service has room for improvement in handling large-scale applications."

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

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing and licensing depend on the size of your environment and the zone where you want to implement."

"Work with a vendor, if possible, and take advantage of more aggressive discounts at mid-fiscal year (April) and fiscal year-end (October)."

"I think it's starting to get a little expensive. Open source products are starting to get more robust, so I think that's something that they need to start looking at in terms of licensing."

"The price is reasonable. We use a pay per license model. Firstly, you need to buy a license. After that, you mainly pay the annual support fee of around 20% or 25%. I think their prices are quite reasonable."

"The first TB is free and you can use all the Vertica features. After 1TB you have to pay for licensing. The product is worth it, but be aware of this condition, and plan. The compression ratio is explained in the documentation."

"The pricing depends on the license model because there are several. It depends on the client, but it's cheaper than other solutions. I think it's cheap for all the functionality and robustness. It's not very expensive to deploy."

"It's an expensive product"

"Start with license per 1TB. Starting from hundreds of TB there is unlimited licensing to be considered. Move historical data to HDFS/S3 which are significantly cheaper or even free."

More OpenText Analytics Database (Vertica) pricing and cost advice

"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."

"Price is always higher for all Oracle products."

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

"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."

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