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.

Cons

"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."

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

"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."

"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."

"The solution lacks a GUI for commands."

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

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

More Oracle Multitenant cons

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

"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."

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

"The solution should offer memory management."

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

"The product has many bugs."

"The tool’s stability must be improved."

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.

"The price is worth the quality."

"This solution is a little bit pricey."

"The product is expensive."

"The solution’s paid plans are expensive."

"The license is 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."

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

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

"It is an open-source product."
