Saikat Nag

Oracle Application Database Administrator at RP Sanjiv Goenka Group

Manages extensive utility billing applications efficiently with trusted performance and robust support

Currently, I have a very good experience with Oracle Multitenant. The pluggable database is easy to handle and manage, sharing resources efficiently. However, Oracle license pricing is an issue due to its high cost. Our organization is compelled to reduce CPU usage by seventy CPUs because the Oracle license cost depends on it.

Efficiently manages extensive datasets with rapid connections and wide tool support

Oracle MySQL Cloud Service is easy to manage and install. It does not require a DBA for management. The connections are very fast and it supports several thousand users simultaneously without any issues. New connections do not hang server operations. As soon as new releases are put out, they work as expected. Oracle MySQL Cloud Service is supported by every vendor and tool, including architectural, integration, and generation tools, offering wide protocol support. This makes Oracle MySQL Cloud Service a valuable solution.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"You can scale the solution as needed."

"Multitenant has a container database with many pluggable databases."

"It's easy to use and works great."

"Our primary use of Oracle includes writing queries for retrieving data for customers without worrying about the customer ID, user ID, as it is automatically connected to each query."

"The analytics tool, Oracle Analytics Server (OAS), is the main important component of this solution and in the analytics part, the VPD handles all the necessary functions effectively."

"The database becomes pluggable. Inside this container is called a pluggable database and each application contains this pluggable database inside Multitenant. We can then share resources like control files, memory, etc. This lets you stop and start each application without impacting the others. This resource sharing is the most valuable feature"

"The feature that I like on Multitenant is the ease - it is very easy for my team to run the database."

"The most valuable features are the speed and ease of use."

More Oracle Multitenant pros

"MySQL is very stable and works beautifully with large amounts of data."

"Overall, I rate Oracle MySQL Cloud Service as a nine out of ten."

"The initial setup was straightforward."

"The scalability of the database is absolutely guaranteed by the new features."

"The access to a suite of management and administration tools that simplify tasks such as database provisioning, configuration, and monitoring."

"The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that it is flexible and is an open-source product."

"Oracle MySQL Cloud Service is easy to use and implement."

"MySQL is a centralized RDBMS in itself, and you don't have the overkill of having the full Oracle or Microsoft SQL Server. It's ideal, and it helps with the developer console. It has three versions for developers. It's a very good tool for open source."

More Oracle MySQL Cloud Service pros

Cons

"There is room for improvement in customer service and support."

"The user interface for this solution can be made better."

"That said, Oracle in general doesn't invest in their UI for any of their applications. If we're talking about the dashboard or other user experience, there is room for improvement. I'm talking about on premises. The cloud version has started to improve."

"It would be beneficial to include this solution with Oracle Enterprise, but Oracle charges additional fees for it."

"From the scope of improvement, I would say that people are adopting new query options. Certain databases like MongoDB adopt new query options so that they can just pull the data."

"It can be complicated to scale up the solution, but it's scalable."

"Technical support could be faster."

"Oracle license pricing is an issue due to its high cost. Our organization is compelled to reduce CPU usage by seventy CPUs because the Oracle license cost depends on it."

More Oracle Multitenant cons

"Oracle MySQL Cloud Service should be easier to replicate and integrate into further solutions."

"The tool’s stability must be improved."

"The solution should offer memory management."

"Integrating business intelligence or NLP solutions would help us save time and would prevent us from having to take a deep dive. Data problems seem to multiply on the system when you interact with it. Automation would save a lot of man-hours."

"There could be more courses where the people could learn more easily how to use the tool."

"In a production environment, upgrading from a lower to an upper version is a very long process that needs to be improved."

"There could be improvements, particularly in Firebird, where the indexing is limited to just a single B-tree index, leading to poor performance for large-scale queries."

"Sometimes MySQL does upgrades on the server. When we are still using the old server and when they integrate the upgrade, they don't carry along some of the old syntaxes. The versions don't sync."

More Oracle MySQL Cloud Service cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"For me, I will go with it if I have the budget. Some features are nicer than before, but at the end of the day, you always have a limited budget. I prefer to upgrade and get a specific hardware when possible. At the end, you will have to make a compromise. You will not get everything you would have liked to have."

"This solution is a little bit pricey."

"The price is worth the quality."

"Oracle has a better licensing model compared to its competitors."

"It is an open-source product."

"The license is expensive."

"The product is free since it is an open-source tool."

"The product is expensive."

"The solution’s paid plans are expensive."

"While the core solution itself is not exorbitant, the support services are associated with a significant maintenance fee, often ranging from twenty to thirty percent."
