In terms of structured databases, I support SQL-based databases. SQL has its place, but not for plannable structure and transactional databases. At the same time, Oracle is very much optimized. If you don’t have a deeper knowledge of how to create a query, the newer versions optimize it without answers as well. So that is a very strong feature.

Another valuable feature is partitioning. You can partition the database, you can move the partitions, and maintain the growth. The unnecessary growth of the database and the backup systems are well supported. So, all the things around which we need the long-lived stability of the database are in Oracle.

It provides the ability to run from a simple schema base to a real application database, including the option to run it on the Oracle public cloud. In cases where the customer has an issue with data locality or privacy, the option to seamlessly switch to a Oracle public cloud machine in the customer's own DC makes this the most flexible cloud solution.

The automatic inclusion of all database options in Enterprise Edition (EE), Extreme Performance and Exadata cloud service make this product very attractive.

In terms of features, I find Automated Storage Management (ASM) and Data Guard most helpful for improving data security and reliability. 

Oracle Database is scalable, particularly in storage utilization with ASM. The availability of Oracle Database has contributed positively to operational uptime, especially with Data Guard.

What I like about Oracle Database as a Service is that it has excellent stability, and the development is effortless. No other database compares with Oracle Database as a Service in twenty-five years.

I also like the enhanced queries in Oracle Database as a Service. I've been using analytical queries and classes, which is what I like best about the service.

The service also has a VR feature which is excellent, though I'm not using that feature.

I also like how speedy Oracle Database as a Service is.

Security is a critical aspect for us, as well as the process of patching and updating the system. 

The availability of the system is ensured by running it on two on-premise servers, which are identical and located separately.

The most valuable aspect of the solution is its security, performance, and availability.

I like that the solution is easy to onboard. There's no database on-premise that requires installation from scratch. Without the serverless option, installation is a very complicated process. It requires hardware as well as DBAs, operating system, and network administrators. With Database as a Service, you can be up and running the same day.

It's a very robust database product. It has more capabilities like object storage, file-level storage, and database. The activity redundancy in the database is great. There is DCDR replication. It also has a GUI interface, so we can get the dashboard capabilities and can manage and monitor some things in the database from that GUI interface.

The solution is stable.

It is scalable. 

Technical support has been great.

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.

Being able to go to go to the website: cloud.oracle.com/tryit and get $300+ in free trial credits is a great way to explore the technology (you can also go to cloud.oracle.com/database to just try database as a service (DBaaS). The cloud is something accelerates efforts to interface with Big Data and IOT, but it takes an educated buyer to implement the right pieces at the right time. The cloud gives people the ability to leverage big data from non-Oracle sources including Hadoop and Hive, quickly deploy a development test or simple application, and to leverage the interfaces to other companies and to use mobile apps. I think the downside is it's causing people pain as it compresses how fast they need to learn about it and effectively move the parts of their system that are better suited in the cloud. I think that's the biggest issue right now. Some of the features that are out there for database as a service on the cloud, if you want to have an encrypted backup in the cloud or a test database, it's nice to have a backup that's offsite or a system where you can test new features. Are you going to put your backup in a lock-box at the local bank or are you going to put it on some other cloud? With Oracle, you can send it with RMAN encrypted backup straight to the Oracle Cloud and it's there when you need it. If you had to fail-over for some reason when you use Oracle Cloud, and you have an Exadata in-house, Oracle has an Exadata in the cloud that you could fail right over to (this allows either a CAPEX or OPEX financial event). Maybe you have some big data where you don't have enough servers and you know exactly what you want hardware wise, well, you're familiar with that Exadata performance so you know exactly what you're going to get in the cloud since the hardware is similar to what you have on-site.

IT Manager with 501-1,000 employees

So from the database perspective, we usually are talking about three important things. So the obvious ones are the multitenancy in the pluggable databases. The second category, I would call it performance, making sure that we are getting the right value from the databases in terms of data access. And the third one is obviously the security. So, we are more interested in implementing solutions that, we are actually excited to see Oracle come in with release two with all the issues we have, from 11g and on. So, 12.1 is there, but we want to see what's coming up in 12c at release two, and we are really excited about multitenancy. The whole security aspect, and then the performance as such.

Since I work as a database administrator, I like the way Oracle has Oracle database information. So it's quite easy for me to rectify issues pertaining to Oracle Database. Oracle has managed to allocate tools that can be used to analyze the problems when they arise. 

They've done tremendous work in terms of analysis and diagnosis. It's quite easy to use the database, provided you have managed to install it according to your Oracle standard. 

The solution has been very stable over the years.

We've found the solution to be quite scalable.

If the solution is installed in your environment correctly, you are not going to have any issues whatsoever. It's problem-free.
