Oracle Database Reviews

The most valuable feature is the Oracle RAC.

I have used Oracle Database within the last 12 months.

I have not had any bugs or glitches, the solution is stable.

Oracle Database is easy to scale.

We have approximately 200 people using this solution in my organization.

The technical support from Oracle is good and responsive. I used them for security updates and patches.

The setup is fine, but it depends on many factors.

The price of Oracle Database is too expensive and especially for individual environments. The pricing model is not clear, if I want to run it on a virtual environment, I still need to license the whole physical box.

I have evaluated MySQL.

My advice is to others wanting to implement Oracle Database is to first look at the open-source products, such as MySQL, because sometimes they can do as good of a job as Oracle Database.

I rate Oracle Database an eight out of ten.

My primary use of this solution is to generate electronic documents.

The most valuable feature of Oracle Database is its stability - one can trust that the database is always working.

I've been working with Oracle for over twenty years.

The initial setup was very complex - best case, it takes between four and six hours to set up.

Before implementing this product, make sure to research the environment and the necessary details to do the initial setup. I would rate this solution as nine out of ten.

I use Oracle Database for the server from Microsoft.

Big companies and millions of smaller businesses need Oracle Database because it's secure. The implementation of services is good for data security in Oracle. Implementing higher availability is also good. Whenever one side goes down, the other side will be up. I like using Oracle Database in Oracle x86 Servers. It's more comfortable to use Oracle Database in this situation.

It would be better if they had a license management service.

Oracle Database is very stable.

The initial setup is easy.

I would tell potential users that they need to use Oracle Database if they need security. It's great and the best. You can also use various software in our database.

On a scale from one to ten, I would give Oracle Database a ten.

We use this solution as a platform. Our applications for the product are related to human resources, social environment, and environmental. We are Oracle customers and I'm a database administrator. 

The main benefit we've had is from making the move from on-prem to cloud - it has saved us a lot of money.  

The most valuable feature for us is the ease of migration between databases. It's quite powerful. 

Our main problem is that the connection is slow and that's because it's the Latin version. We are in Peru and the providers are in the United States. There's no other data center that can implement our database. 

The solution is scalable. 

In general, the customer support has not been good. We'd get emails about interruptions and shutdowns over weekends and that affected us. In the first year, we were assisted by a Colombian consultant but the second year things changed and the support came from Chile. When we were dealing with Colombia we'd get a response to our requests within the hour but when the support moved to Chile it could take two days to get a response and even then the problem was not necessarily solved.  

The initial setup is very easy, they use wizards and you can create an instant database in minutes. We had the assistance of a Colombian consultant for implementation but I was responsible for the deployment, executing scripts and applying fixes.

Licensing is expensive and then there is a support fee which is another 20% of the cost price. 

We've decided not to continue with the Oracle database and we're migrating to SQL. One of the main reasons for migrating is the cost difference, Oracle's license is expensive. 

I don't have anything against Oracle, I think it's the best database in the world. It's completely different from SQL and more powerful. The latest Oracle product, the Autonomous Database will be a leading solution. SQL is better for medium size companies and Oracle is geared to enterprise organizations. 

I rate this solution eight out of 10. 

I like the performance power and the interface of the solution. 

I encountered problems when developing solutions or when the developers needed to know or check many things to connect to the database. Problems can arise if there are too many requirements or a lot of details which must be applied to connect the software to the database. There may be a need to have the client in the host machine and have other files registered. Once the connection is made with the database the problem is resolved. 

I have been using Oracle Database for six years.

The solution is privately deployed and solely with on-premises products. 

I develop solutions. 

I rate Oracle Database as a nine out of ten. 

We are using a BI solution and Oracle Transaction Server for transaction data. So, transactional data is being stored in the Oracle Database.

I like the query part and the optimization of the query to get the data. I also like its speedy recovery and stability. In the security part, the loss of data is minimal for any crashes that could happen. First of all, it might not occur, but if it happens, the recovery of the data is smoother than others.

It would be better if the administrator part could be simplified. At the moment, we need specialized skills for managing or administering Oracle Database. If that is simplified, my juniors or basic database engineers could use it. Right now, we need specific administrative skills to manage the Oracle Server.

I have been dealing with Oracle Database for more than a decade.

Oracle Database is a stable solution.

Oracle Database is definitely scalable. For the project we are working on, the team size is around 500 to 600 engineers. But not everyone is working on Oracle. Even if we go with the 10% or 5% count, you still end up with 20 to 50 people who are dealing with the SQL queries, day in, day out.

I would recommend this database solution to potential users, but it depends on their specific business needs.

On a scale from one to ten, I would give Oracle Database an eight.

We are running Oracle databases in Oracle Exadata.

Oracle Database is very stable. In terms of stability and performance, Oracle is super. On the database side, Oracle is number one in our tests.

The price could be better. Oracle Database could also be easier to scale. 

We have been using Oracle Database for quite a long time, and probably since 2002. 

Oracle Database is very stable. 

Oracle Database could be easier to scale. As Exadata is not easily scalable, Oracle Database is also not easy to scale. We have over 10,000 applications running on Oracle Database.

We use a local Oracle company for support, and they help us whenever someone has an issue.

We have done a lot of Oracle Database installations, and we are pretty familiar with it. So, it's easy for us.

The Oracle license is quite expensive, and we pay on a yearly basis.

I would recommend Oracle Database to new users if they can afford the price.

On a scale from one to ten, I would give Oracle Database a ten.

Our primary use case is for managing our ERP solutions. We use SAP as well. Oracle Database is deployed on-prem. 

One of the most valuable features is the stability. 

Oracle Database could be improved by adding more automation. 

I have been using Oracle Database for around 15 years. 

This solution is very, very, very stable. 

We didn't use another solution before Oracle. At that time, I think most of the applications that we were using weren't running on a database.

The installation is very straightforward. I have no complaints. We did it ourselves and it didn't take much time. I think we've done it three times and you can install it in a day or two. We've also done upgrades along the way. 

We implemented through an in-house team. 

We pay for a yearly licensing subscription. Funds permitting, we have plans to increase usage for Oracle Database in the new year. 

I rate Oracle Database a 10 out of 10. I would definitely recommend this solution to others.
