Oracle Database Appliance Reviews

The product’s valuable feature is its capability to pre-configure and pre-install the settings. We can easily manage the website.

The product's technical support services need improvement. 

We have been using Oracle Database Appliance since 2014.

I rate the product’s stability a ten out of ten.

The technical support services regarding hardware issues could be better.

We switched to Oracle Database Appliance from the commodity server for better compatibility and performance.

Oracle Database Appliance is easy to implement. It takes two to five hours or up to a day to complete. It needs a basic understanding of how all the product works and the process of allocating the IPs. A team of three people executes the deployment.

The product is pre-implemented in appliances. It doesn’t require any further improvement. It is suitable for mid-sized companies.

I rate it a ten out of ten.

Our production database and development are in Oracle Database Appliance. We currently only have one machine, so we are thinking of buying another two. 

Oracle Database Appliance is scalable. It is a great solution for Oracle Database. This is the best hardware environment you can do it.

The feature that I would like to see improve is the interface. It is really not good. I almost have to work on script by script in it. There is always some issue with the user interface.

A firewall feature embedded in the solution would be good as well. 

I have been using Oracle Database Appliance for four years. 

Oracle Database Appliance is very stable. 

Oracle Database Appliance is scalable. On a scale of one to 10, with one being bad and 10 being good, I would rate this solution a nine for scalability. 

We have been trying to upgrade our database since July of 2022. We have had to open a lot of service requests with Oracle's support. We ended up solving our issue with our developers here in Brazil. I realized then that Oracle's local support do not talk to other Oracle support people who. It's very strange; sometimes it feels like two different companies.

Neutral

We previously used Posters for a minor database. We switched because it was too small. Oracle Database Appliance is much cheaper for us to use overall. 

The initial setup was very difficult for us. It took us 20 to 25 days. 

Oracle Database Appliance is very expensive. On a scale of one to 10, with one being cheap and 10 being expensive, I would rate Oracle Database Appliance a seven. 

My advice for those looking to implement this solution is: it's a great solution but you will need two machines to run it. 

The product is good value for money. It is a secure solution. 

Overall, on a scale of one to ten, I would give Oracle Database Appliance an eight. 

We use the solution for our enterprise applications.

We usually provide insurance operations software. Therefore, we sell applications to insurance companies, and we use the ODA to configure them to run the application.

I think one of the reasons I was looking for a comparison between the SPARC and the Oracle Database Appliance is because, with most other services, we can't get everything combined as we can with the Oracle Database Appliance. We would have to get a server, extra storage, and other devices to set up shop. With the Oracle Database Appliance, once we put our application on the solution, it is enough.

The most valuable feature of the solution is the ability to combine all the data without the need for additional devices.

I am certain that Oracle Servers do not have RAM, not even the usual RAM, or usually obtain OCP. It would be beneficial to have dedicated RAM included in the Oracle Database Appliance.

I have been using the solution for four years.

Oracle Database Appliance is extremely stable.

Although we have not needed to scale the solution yet, Oracle Database Appliance is scalable.

The initial setup is straightforward. The deployment takes one business day.

We implement the solution in-house with the assistance of Oracle technical support when required.

The solution may be expensive, but when we consider the problems it solves, the stability it provides, and the fact that we don't have to buy separate parts and assemble them into a system, it becomes more affordable. Otherwise, we would have to purchase components from different sources, assemble them, and then pay to resolve any stability issues that arise.

I give the solution an eight out of ten. 

There are no other solutions similar to Oracle Database Appliance on the market. I've been looking for others to have compared, but there are none.

The solution's pricing is very high.

I am working with both on-premises and hybrid models of the solution. We use Oracle Database Appliance for machine learning. The solution's main competitor is Huawei, which is trying to conquer the market with its competitive pricing. I would recommend Oracle Database Appliance to other users.

Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Oracle Database Appliance is for databases, specifically for Oracle databases.

My clients are experiencing benefits from the increase in functionality or productivity compared to their previous solution since they are running their RAC database on three dots. So, we migrated our referrals to Oracle Database Appliance as it is a good solution in terms of performance.

The main feature is the management and manageability of the tool. We can create a VM on a laptop within a couple of clicks. Additionally, regarding the graphical user interface, anybody can manage the VMs.

I feel that there are no features that need to be added to the tool since the tool is pretty much perfect the way it is.

I have been using the solution for five years. I am using Oracle Database Appliance Version 6 or 7.

In terms of stability, I rate this solution an eight out of ten.

Since we don't have the room to scale up, I rate this solution a six out of ten for scalability.

We always propose Oracle Database Appliance to our small and medium customers, so that they can run their Oracle Workflow from the Oracle Database Appliance while benefiting from Oracle licensing. I rate this solution a seven out of ten.

In Turkey, there are some highway toll collection systems that use Oracle Database Appliance.

The most valuable feature of Oracle Database Appliance is the ease of management.

Oracle Database Appliance is stopping support for the standard edition and only continuing support for the RAC One Node. They did not inform us and we are having problems with our customers. We are not having to change our systems from standard to something else.

I have been using Oracle Database Appliance for approximately five years.

We did not have any stability issues with Oracle Database Appliance.

Oracle Database Appliance is scalable according to the license purchased. We didn't need any extra storage, but if we need storage we can add it.

We have many systems and toll collection systems using the solution. The call centers that use the solution have approximately 100 people using each environment.

The hardware support of Oracle Database Appliance was not good five years ago, but now it is.

The support is responsive and solves the issues. Most of the support is automated, and when we send the snapshot automation fails they are easily solved.

I rate the support from Oracle Database Appliance a five out of five.

Positive

I have not used another solution similar to Oracle Database Appliance.

The Oracle Database Appliance has an easy installation. It took approximately four to five hours. If we do not do a re-image it can be done in one to two hours.

We did the implementation of the solution in-house with one person.

I don’t know ODA and alternative system prices. But Oracle the database license is quite expensive and a lot of my customers plan to migrate to open source databases like PostgreSQL.

I have contacted the support from Oracle Database Appliance. Their services are no longer up to my expectation.

I rate the support from Oracle Database Appliance a three out of five.

We have seen a return on investment with Oracle Database Appliance. This is why we still support them today.

The price of the solution should be less expensive. However, they will increase the price more.

I would advise others to look for a company that has their own experience, that is local. This will allow them to have a local understanding of what requirements are needed. Sometimes the international companies may not be aware of the local requirements. One of the reasons that we are very still supporting Oracle Database Appliance is because we feel that Oracle has a lot of customers and a lot of implementers that are local. That's one of the key points that we're still with Oracle.

I rate Oracle Database Appliance ten out of ten.

Oracle Database Appliance is the best.
