Oracle Database Reviews

I use this solution for transaction processing and analytical queries from the data gathered from other systems.

The most valuable features are the easy ways to build storage capacities and queries. It's a really large and very useful language to process data.

An area for improvement would be query performance - in some cases, it's really, really hard to make it run faster. In the next release, I would like to see some analytical queries and machine-learning integrations built directly into the database.

I've been using this solution for about ten years.

This is a very stable and robust database.

Scalability is a weak point of Oracle databases because even if we use Real Application Clusters, they do not work as if they were a cluster. They work like units, and they divide the connection but don't process the data in all the clusters.

Now, the setup is straightforward, but in the beginning, it was very painful because it needs a lot of operating system configurations to work properly. The last time I deployed Oracle Database, it took me around thirty to forty minutes.

I understand that Oracle is very expensive compared to other databases.

Oracle databases don't always comply with all necessities and use cases, so make sure to look at and understand those before choosing Oracle. I would rate this solution as five out of ten.

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.

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. 

We use the product as a hotel solution, a hotel PMS program.

Support is not available when one encounters problems. The database has performance parameters.

It would be nice to be able to switch cluster features for creating multiple databases towards business continuity.

Installation of SQL Server is comparatively much easier than that of Oracle Database. 

I have been using Oracle Database in excess of ten or fifteen years. 

Support is not easily obtainable when one encounters issues. 

There is no comparable difference SQL Server's usage and that of Oracle Database. They are both reliable databases. Owing to program decisions, certain products make use of Azure SQL and others Oracle. 

SQL Server has a considerably easier installation than Oracle Database. 

I give both Oracle Database and SQL Server a rating of nine out of ten. 

SQL Server's installation is considerably easier than that of Oracle Database. 

Both SQL Server and Oracle Database are deployed as private clouds. 

I rate Oracle Database as a nine out of ten. 

We use the Oracle Database for our CRM and transportation management.

The features that I have found most valuable are its cloud and API features.

Their support and price could both be improved.

In future releases I would like to see it more administrable on cloud.

I have been using Oracle Database for 14 years.

It is a stable product.

Oracle Database is scalable.

We have 200 people using it for now with plans to increase usage.

We have two people on it for maintenance.

I would rate their technical support at eight or nine out of ten.

The setup was not very easy.

It took two months.

We have a monthly license.

I do recommend Oracle Database to anyone considering it.

On a scale of one to ten, I would give it a nine.

This solution is the corporate base that supports ERP solutions and all our systems. We are customers of Oracle and I'm the CIO. 

There are two valuable features for us; the security of the solution and the availability that this database offers us. With the increased move to digital processes, availability is very important for supporting our business.

The performance could be improved and I think they should work towards providing features that will improve database performance. It would also be helpful if they could come up with something to detect performance problems more easily.

I've been using this solution for 20 years. 

The solution is very stable. Our company has over 1,000 users and we'll keep it at that for the time being. 

The technical support is very good. 

The initial setup is quite straightforward but it requires a professional Oracle database administrator who is an in-house employee.

It's important to evaluate the availability in a corporate database. It's also worth assessing how the database is protected against cyber attacks and how difficult it is to maintain and administer it.

I rate this solution nine out of 10. 

We're using Oracle Database for corporate enterprise resources planning, manufacturing systems, etc. It's deployed in a Red Hat Linux environment.

I've been using Oracle Database for about 15 years.

Oracle Database is stable. I'm quite happy with the performance.

Oracle Database is scalable. We're running it on around 250 devices.

We previously used some small-scale SQL servers running Microsoft SQL Server for access control.

Installing Oracle Database is straightforwad. 

The price should be lower. We're currently paying for it yearly.

I rate Oracle Database 10 out of 10. I would definitely recommend it.
