Oracle Database as a Service Reviews

The primary use case for this solution for the clients I have been working with is building applications and storing their data in the database. My other use case is helping companies set up data guards for high availability.

Oracle has helped our organization by being a reliable solution that is stable with zero crashes. The differentiation between Oracle's database and other databases is that Oracle needs more attention. It's not a click here, click there solution, it needs more time put in, but once you do that, it's ready to go and you can forget about it.

The most valuable feature is the solution's ability to seamless transform a primary into a standby database. When setting up failover where you have an active and a standby database and production goes down, you don't know if there are any issues. So, a seamless switch over to the standby is valuable because you can work on the production that has gone down to fix the problem.

The area in this solution that could be improved is that currently, it's difficult to do the setup. You need to do all kinds of command lines to get it set up. If that setup becomes easier and easily manageable, that would be great.

In the next release, I'd like to see a simpler connection between Oracle and other databases like SQL, MySQL, or a DB tool. I'd also like to see a simpler way to pull data from those external databases. This would add value to Oracle in my opinion.

I have been using Oracle Database as a Service since 2007. That adds up to around 16 years. I started using Oracle when it was Oracle version 10.

The cost of licensing for this solution is quite high. 

When it comes to other people looking into this solution, I would advise double-checking the pricing as it's quite high for Oracle. Other than that, go for it.

Overall, I would rate this solution a 10, on a scale from one to 10, with one being the worst and 10 being the best.

I don't have a lot of experience just yet. I'm still learning the product. It's an ERP solution that we are providing. It's a very powerful database. 

The solution is very stable. It's very powerful. 

The solution can scale. You can use it with just a few or hundreds of users.

We have found the product to be very adaptable. 

It isn't too hard to set up. 

I'm a rookie at the moment. I still need to learn the solution. It's hard to discuss what is needed when you are still learning. 

For many companies, the standard version is not enough. They need to move to the enterprise version. However, there is a large price jump between the two. 

A company needs to have skilled people on its team in order to really take advantage of the solution.

At the moment, I've had no direct contact with Oracle. I'm not fully operating in the product just yet. 

If a customer requires a solution, we go with that solution. therefore, we use a variety of products. 

For example, we've also used WebLogic, which is a bit simpler and easier to handle.

The initial setup is pretty straightforward. You just download the installation and go.

Since we work with a variety of clients, we use different clouds. 

I'm not sure how long ht redeployment took. I did not directly handle deployment tasks. 

The enterprise version can get quite expensive.

The bigger the customer, the more resources the customer requires, which can add to the cost. 

We've had a customer that has spent around 40,000 Euros for a database. 

Oracle is a very powerful product. It's not a toy. Therefore, if a company wants to use it, it must have qualified people on board to manage it. It also requires some amount of memory or CPU. You need to have the space for it and a backup, et cetera. However, it's very useful, and it's a very professional database.

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.  For our customers, it's the best solution we can provide.

The scalability and high availability are the most valuable features of Oracle DaaS.

Oracle DaaS is highly stable.

Oracle DaaS is scalable.

We created a curriculum from Oracle University to train our staff, so we don't need much support.
