Key learnings from peers

Valuable Features

  • "The most valuable feature is the data encryption option for columns and tables."
  • "The features that are the most used by the customers and partners are, at the moment, for GDPR, so obviously data encryption and data reduction. Our customers also like the partitioning option."

Room for Improvement

  • "Having a single command to encrypt a table would be an improvement."
  • "It is really constrained as an environment because you cannot change something that would be useful. It is a very good product because it is very similar to what you have on-premises. Yes, it is constrained, but it is expected because it is a platform as a service so it has to be constrained."

Good support, stable, and offers encryption at both the column and table level

Pros

"The most valuable feature is the data encryption option for columns and tables. "

Cons

The primary use of this product is to encrypt data contained within our Oracle database, allowing us to protect confidential information. One of the options is to encrypt column information, but we can encrypt entire tables, as well.

Using this product gives us the benefits of encrypting both confidential company data and personal data within our database.

Has good data encryption and data reduction but the solution is constrained

Pros

"The features that are the most used by the customers and partners are, at the moment, for GDPR, so obviously data encryption and data reduction. Our customers also like the partitioning option."

Cons

"It is really constrained as an environment because you cannot change something that would be useful. It is a very good product because it is very similar to what you have on-premises. Yes, it is constrained, but it is expected because it is a platform as a service so it has to be constrained."

What is most valuable?

The features that are the most used by the customers and partners are, at the moment, for GDPR, so obviously data encryption and data reduction are the most valuable to them. Our customers also like the partitioning option.

What needs improvement?

It is really constrained as an environment because you cannot change something that would be useful. It is a very good product because it is very similar to what you have on-premises. Yes, it is constrained, but it is expected because it is a platform as a service so it has to be constrained.
