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.

Ideal, stable, good support and it helps with the developer console

I have used MongoDB, MySQL, and Oracle. MongoDB is entirely different. It's a NoSQL platform database, so it's totally different. It is a little bit hard to work with. The way it is organized and structured is different. But between Microsoft Azure MySQL and Oracle, they are pretty similar. * Cost: Microsoft is not a preferred platform. Their licensing is very complex and expensive. Oracle is much better. * AI: In terms of data analytics and AI, Microsoft is better. Certain complex transformations are easier to do in MSSQL. So, if you have to analyze data from a lot of different data sources, it becomes much easier. However, the usage of the particular product depends on the project. Personally, I would like to work on MySQL. But in certain cases where the application scale is very large, and custom models from certain regions of the globe prefer Microsoft, then we have to go with MSSQL. But technically, there is not much difference.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

"The stability of Oracle Multitenant is excellent, and I would rate it a nine out of ten."

"You can scale the solution as needed."

"Maintaining databases is a valuable feature for us."

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

"It is quite stable. We have not faced any kind of instability in the database."

"I would rate the scalability a ten out of ten. Our clients are mostly medium and enterprise businesses."

"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"

More Oracle Multitenant pros

"Oracle MySQL Cloud Service handles data easily."

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

"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."

"Oracle MySQL Cloud Service is easy to manage and install."

"The stability of the solution is very good. I wouldn't have used it for the past seven years if I was not satisfied."

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

"All the features are excellent."

"It is very easy to start working with the product."

Cons

"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."

"There are many functions where changes are not easy to implement, and we try to avoid modifying these areas due to security issues and the complexity of maintaining them."

"While the product is overall excellent, it is quite expensive."

"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."

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

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

"The solution lacks a GUI for commands."

More Oracle Multitenant cons

"Sometimes, we face syntax issues with the solution."

"Oracle MySQL Cloud Service's scalability is an area of concern that can be better."

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

"The product has many bugs."

"MySQL should have some kind of native query browser. If it could come with a built-in connector."

"They could include more advanced features like clustering and replication in the Oracle databases."

"There might be minor improvements, however, I can’t identify any particular areas for improvement at the moment."

"The tool’s stability must be improved."

More Oracle MySQL Cloud Service cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This solution is a little bit pricey."

"The price is worth the quality."

"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."

"It is an open-source product."

"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."

"The solution’s paid plans are expensive."

"The license is expensive."

"The product is expensive."

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

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