"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."
"Oracle DCS's most valuable features are its high availability and scalability."
"The connection can be slow due to the distance from the provider."
"It would be useful if I could connect to an expert for one-on-one help."
"The security of the solution could be improved. It's an area that isn't as good as it could be."
"I would like to see more integration with other databases and the cloud as well as Microsoft's Office 365."
"The main thing we find could use improvement is the licensing costs. It is quite expensive relative to other database vendors. Cost always comes up as an issue for us as we consider upgrade paths. It's not as easy as we would like it to be."
"It should have more monitoring features. There should be features to be able to analyze the performance with a query. In Microsoft SQL Server, when you are running any stored procedure, if you want to analyze the performance, you just run the query analyzer. You can easily find out that something is missing in a joint condition, or clustering needs to be added because of a delay. I can't find such features in Oracle Database. They should be added."
"Oracle could improve by providing better integration with other solutions, such as Angular platforms."
"The tool's deployment and configuration is difficult. Sometimes, the network DNS settings aren't connected, so we need to check and enable the configuration, which is the difficult part. Maintenance requires a bit of effort. We need to monitor the database performance, check the number of concurrent users on Oracle, and handle any unwanted queries from users. You need at least two people to do it."
"It would be nice to have a data dictionary reporting feature in the solution."
"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 pricing must be improved."
"Oracle should work on the solution's compatibility issues with the operating system."
"Oracle Database Cloud Service could improve by adding some cross-region replication features."
"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."
