Oracle Database Reviews

We primarily use the solution for auditing purposes.

The best feature of the solution is the capability of running extreme processes for database processing requirements.

From a database product perspective, I would say, they're good in what they provide. There's not much concern.

For our organization, the price is the main factor that needs improvement. They charge you exorbitantly for a license, and, I would say, they are not doing justice to today's industry requirements when it comes to a pricing model. They talk about cloud hybrid on-prem solutions, and they tell you that you have a cloud solution that will benefit your company considerably, however, it's just a lot of cut-throat pricing that they offer.

From the perspective of using the database in a legacy product, some people are usually stuck with it, and they need to continue working on that. That's a new thing they have not been able to change. The licensing model works in a different way altogether. It's not really very friendly for management to take decisions when it comes to executing licensing right for a product like this.

If their database encryption features could come in bytes, that would be a major improvement. They should bring the encryption model to their standard databases as well.

We've been using the solution for about seven years now.

In terms of stability, it's got a little bit more stability than it used to be. It's good. It's been quite stable, however, I believe the stability is limited to a standard model of licensing that we are provided.

Technical support has been very good for us. We have no complaints. We're satisfied with the level of service we've been provided. They are very helpful.

The licensing costs are very high. We feel the solution is price gouging its customers.

The solution has a standard license, which is different from an enterprise license. If you need the encryption feature, you need to go up to enterprise licensing which has a whole lot of other features that you may not even be using. Encryption is a top requirement in the industry, however, you're forced to use the enterprise edition if you need to use anything like this. That said, it is always better to go to a standard edition, which has more limited capabilities but can still fit into your product perspective.

I'm not reselling this product. I'm using this for designing my own product, and I'm giving it as a solution to my customer. If I need to work out pricing for my customer, there may be my own raw materials that come into play.

The raw materials that come into play should be considered in order to make a better pricing model, which in turn can help me get a better solution for my clients. If the base product that you use is so expensive, like this is, it doesn't make sense. I would start looking at other products. That's what I'm doing. I need to better scale my capabilities.

I'd recommend Mongo Database over this product for that reason.

I'd rate the solution overall eight out of ten. It's very good. It's just a bit too expensive for my purposes.

The solution is used for accessing and restoring data.

The product provides high availability. I can easily use the product because I have 20 to 25 years of database experience.

The product must provide an autonomous database. It should enable users to administer the database easily like other open-source databases. Oracle RAC must be improved.

I am using the solution currently.

The tool is stable. I rate the stability an eight out of ten.

I rate the tool’s scalability a five out of ten. We need too many servers. Our customers use the product, and we support them. Our customers have about 100 users, including developers and managers. We are planning to increase the number of users.

I used primitive tools before.

We need four people to deploy the product.

I rate the pricing a five out of ten.

We are solution partners. Oracle Database is an enterprise solution with high availability. It's for professionals. Overall, I rate the product a seven out of ten.

We are using Oracle Database for the database use cases.

The most valuable feature of Oracle Database is its responsiveness.

The price of the solution should be lower.

I have been using Oracle Database for approximately one year.

Oracle Database is highly stable.

I rate the stability of Oracle Database a ten out of ten.

I rate the scalability of Oracle Database a ten out of ten.

I rate support of Oracle Database a ten out of ten.

Positive

The initial setup of Oracle Database is simple.

I have not seen a return on investment because of the high cost.

The price of Oracle Database is too expensive.

We might be switching solutions because the price is too high.

My advice to others is this solution is great in capabilities and functionality but it is too expensive.

I rate Oracle Database a seven out of ten.

I mainly use this solution for data warehouse applications, report generation, and transactional data processing.

Partitioning is the most valuable feature.

It would be useful if I could connect to an expert for one-on-one help.

I've been using Oracle Database for more than twenty years.

Oracle Database is stable and reliable.

The basic initial setup was straightforward, but a professional would be required if the solution needed to be fine-tuned.

I've seen a good ROI.

Oracle Database is expensive.

I would recommend Oracle Database to others - it's a well-developed solution and is accepted on the market. I would give it a rating of eight out of ten.

We are using Oracle Database to store information.

What is most valuable with the Oracle Database is the performance.

Oracle Database could improve security to make the solution better in the future.

I have been using Oracle Database for approximately six months.

Oracle Database is reliable.

The scalability is very good in Oracle Database.

We have approximately 17 employees that are using this solution. In the future, we will have many more.

I was previously using Microsoft Excel.

The initial setup of the Oracle Database is user-friendly. The process did not take long to complete.

There is a license required to use Oracle Database.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Oracle Database a ten out of ten.

I have a lot of projects running on the Oracle Databases. We currently are using Oracle Database 11g, but this year we will upgrade to 19g.

I have been using Oracle Database for approximately 25 years.

The solution is scalable.

The support from Oracle is very good.

We have support from two Oracle engineers that work with our team for the use of the Oracle Database.

Oracle Databases license and maintenance prices are too high. The government ministry of finance gives us our budget and this solution is too expensive.

In the future, we will most likely be using an open-source database solution because Oracle Database is expensive.

I rate Oracle Database a nine out of ten.

We are using Oracle Database as a database management system.

I have been using Oracle Database for many years.

The solution is stable.

Oracle Database is highly scalable.

I have contacted the support from Oracle and they are sometimes slow.

The installation is straightforward.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Oracle Database a nine out of ten.

The most popular use case is minimizing the latency of online transactions.

In the future, they should change their licensing policy. Right now, it's quite difficult because you have to pay for cores, number of cores, and it depends— if you use some servers, it's one price, if you use another server like IBM, it's another price and it's complicated. Their licensing model could be improved.

I've been using it for over ten years.

The stability is fine for the time being, but it could be more stable.

The scalability is fine.  I can't complain.

Support is fine. I don't remember having any complaints.  It's quite good.

Initial setup is straightforward. One or two of our engineers handled it and it took about 15 to 30 minutes.  One person would even be enough.

The Oracle licensing model is quite difficult. You have to pay for everything.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.  

You should definitely take time for planning and always keep the backup of your data.  Planning is important, you should have a plan for everything.
