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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I would rate the scalability a ten out of ten. Our clients are mostly medium and enterprise businesses."
"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 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"
"You can scale the solution as needed."
"Maintaining databases is a valuable feature for us."
"It is quite stable. We have not faced any kind of instability in the database."
"It's easy to use and works great."
"Multitenant has a container database with many pluggable databases."
"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."
"The product's reliability is the most valuable feature."
"We use VMware RabbitMQ to transfer information from one point to another."
"The product has been stable and I have never faced any kind of problems with it."
"I like the high throughput of 20K messages/sec, and that it supports multiple protocols."
"The solution has really cool features to use. Its management console is excellent. You can utilize plugins to view the performance of the whole service on one network."
"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."
"It can be configured to be a very fast message broker. I like the stability, the built-in admin tools and plugin architecture."
 

Cons

"While the product is overall excellent, it is quite expensive."
"It can be complicated to scale up the solution, but it's scalable."
"This solution is a bit complicated when collecting from containers - that feature should be a bit better."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Technical support could be faster."
"The initial deployment was a little difficult."
"The availability could be better."
"Extra filters would be helpful."
"They need to enhance integration with other Big Data products... to integrate with Big Data platforms, and to open a bi-directional connection between Greenplum and Big Data."
"If messages pile up until the space of the memory is full, then basically, the cluster goes down, and someone has to log in through the backend and purge all messages."
"Scalability issues are present. Most of our functions or jobs are queued due to that."
"Initial setup is a little complex. It took around two weeks to deploy."
"Implementation takes a long time."
 

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."
"Since the tool is an open-source product, there is no need to pay anything."
"The price is pretty good."
"The pricing is okay."
"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."
"We are using the open-source version of this solution."
"Pricing is good compared to other products. It's fine."
"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."
