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:

Pros

"It is a very stable program."

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

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

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

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

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

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

"Some advantages of Oracle Database Cloud Service are its availability, performance, and affordability."

More Oracle Database Cloud Service pros

"The product's feature of data transaction works fast."

"Scalability is simple because it's an MPP database. If you need more processing power or you need more storage, you just add a few more nodes in the cluster. It works on common commodity hardware. You can use any type of server. You don't need to have proprietary hardware. It's fairly flexible."

"Helps us to achieve large-scale analytics."

"The most valuable feature is that it's really customizable."

"It's one of the fastest databases in the market. It's easy to use. From a maintenance perspective it's a good product. The segmentation, or architecture of the product is different than other databases such as Oracle. So even in 10 years, the data distribution for such segments will not affect other segments. The query performance of the product, for complex queries, is very good. It has good integration with Hadoop."

"Reliability for the messages is key. RabbitMQ ensures your messages are safe. They are not deleted and stuff."

"Scalable (Massive) Parallel Processing (MPP) – The ability to bring to bear large amounts of compute against large data sets with Greenplum and the EMC DCA has proven itself to be very effective."

"The solution is stable."

Cons

"The pricing must be improved."

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

"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."

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

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

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

"The implementation process could be easier for customers."

"The initial setup is a bit complex for the beginner, so you need a little technical experience to install it."

More Oracle Database Cloud Service cons

"The user interface could be improved."

"One of the disadvantages, not a disadvantage with the product itself, but overall, is the expertise in the marketplace. It's not easy to find a Greenplum administrator in the market, compared to other products such as Oracle."

"The next release should include some of the flexibility and features that Kafka offers."

"They should improve on the ability to scale your queues in a very simple and elegant way with the same power that they have would be great."

"If you're outside IP address range, the clustering no longer has all the features which is problematic."

"Scalability issues are present. Most of our functions or jobs are queued due to that."

"The initial setup is somewhat complex and the out-of-the-box configuration requires optimization."

"Implementing a circuit breaker scenario using RabbitMQ is complicated. This complexity arises because manual intervention is required to manage worker details and handle operations based on worker IP addresses."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"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."

"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 tool is not cheap."

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

"The product is available for free use since it is an open-source technology."

"We are using the open-source version of this solution."

"On a scale of one to five, with five being the most competitive pricing, I would rate this solution as a four."

"The solution's pricing is cost-effective as it does not involve significant expenses. Licensing is required only for the server, while clients do not need any licensing. Therefore, it proves to be a cost-efficient option."

"This is an open source solution."

"Tanzu Greenplum's pricing is really competitive and gives excellent value for money."

"are using the open-source version, which can be used free of cost."

"It’s an open-source solution."
