Oracle Database Reviews

We've been using Oracle Database for years.

It seems to work. But it could use some improvement in terms of operational stability.

I've never had to contact Oracle support

I can only remember that setting up Oracle Database was a pain because it uses Java.

The Oracle Database license is included with our SAP subscription.

I would rate Oracle Database six out of 10. I don't like it at all. We're only using it because it's bundled with SAP. I would not recommend it to others.

Most of the use cases for Oracle Database I was involved in were for data migration. I was performing analysis and writing scripts to support the data migration from one data model to a new data model within the database. I wrote PVT scripts to test to make sure that the actions expected were all completed correctly. Additionally, I did ad hoc analysis in Oracle Health data quality issues and potential issues.

The interface of Oracle Database is very workable and easy to use.

The monitoring of processes that are executing could be better. I find it very difficult to find processes that had been in a suspended state in order to stop them.

I have used Oracle Database for approximately one year.

The solution is reliable and stable.

We have approximately 10 to 100 users using the solution in my organization.

I work in a medium to large enterprise and there are dedicated teams that do the implementation and maintenance of the solutions.

I would recommend this solution to others. It is a good performing database on medium to large data sets. The SQL Developer is a full-function user interface.

I rate Oracle Database a seven out of ten.

I was using this solution for integration.

It should have a good UI. The user interface could be better.

The installation could be improved when using different operations systems, as some take longer than others.

I have been working with Oracle Database for three months.

We are using version 11g.

Oracle Database is a stable solution.

I am the only person in my organization who is using this solution.

I have not contacted technical support. I have not had any issues.

It is easy to install using the Windows OS, but when using Linux, it takes too much time.

I was able to complete the installation myself. I did not need a team to deploy it.

I am using the trial version.

I would recommend this solution to others. It's a good database.

I would rate Oracle Database an eight out of ten.

I made personal use of the solution for my projects. Customers use it as a database to store and retrieve information. 

The solution could have better security and integration. 

We have been using Oracle Database for a couple of months.

The solution is scalable.

I have never contacted tech support. 

We did not use another solution prior to Oracle Database, although we do use MySQL. 

The solution is easy to install, although I don't recall how long this took. 

There are no licensing costs because the solution for me is open source. 

The solution is cloud-based. 

I would recommend it to others. 

I rate Oracle Database as an eight out of ten. 

We use this solution as the core database in the banking and insurance systems.

Oracle Database is easy to use.

I would like to see more security included.

I would also like to see more features added and the stability needs improvement.

I have been using Oracle Database for five years.

We are using the latest version.

The stability of the Oracle Database needs to be improved.

Oracle Database is a very scalable product.

Technical support is great, but it can be faster.

Our users have used Windows 10.

I have used Oracle Linux for six years.

For someone who has used Oracle, before it's easy.

We have a DBA and our technical team of six who maintain this solution.

The license fee is paid annually.

The fees are another area that can be improved. The pricing should be cheaper.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I would rate Oracle Database a nine out of ten. Because we work in banking and insurance systems, many people use this solution.

For the Database solution, I'm working with the 12c version. For Security Solution, I'm working with Oracle based Audit Vault and Database Firewall, versions 12 and 20.

We use the solution in Cameroon, where I reside, for payroll purposes. 

Optimization of databases, RAC, Data Guard Replication with Data Guard and RAC Database are the best features. The solution offers many features. We try to tailor the deployment to the needs of the company involved. Some need replication, others optimization and still others, RAC. 

There is a new version of Oracle and Database Firewall, version 20, for which I would be interested in receiving training. For the moment, training is not an option. Having the time to undertake this does not pose an issue for me, as I would speak with my supervisor to allot the requisite time. 

I have been using Oracle Database for nearly four or five years.

The solution is stable. 

The version of the solution being employed today is definitely scalable. 

We work as a partner company with Oracle and have a representative in our region to whom we can appeal directly for collaboratively resolving any issues which may arise with our clients.

We are satisfied with the support. While we don't encounter issues on a daily basis, there has not been a single time that we have failed to resolve one when it has arisen. 

The installation does not take long. They have provided a simplified edition on the hardware and database of the latest version of Oracle Database Appliance, a product I have recently installed. It is quite user friendly and makes things easier than has been the case in the last five years. With the improved installation, the solution is now easy to install.  

The licensing costs are on a yearly basis, although I am a technicican and am not involved in this process. This is in someone else's purview. 

In NFC Cameroon the solution is deployed on-premises. When it comes to Oracle Database, certain companies are deployed on-cloud and others on-premises. We have yet to deploy on cloud. 

We have many clients, ranging from medium sized to very large. We have assisted more than ten clients in implementing the solution in our data center. 

I rate Oracle Database as an eight out of ten. 

We primarily use the solution for data storage.

Oracle is one of the strongest solutions on the market.

The user experience and the tools provided with Oracle are great. For example, there's the SQL developer, and these tools are really easy and user-friendly. You get used to it very fast. 

The initial setup is straightforward. 

The solution scales well.

We have found the solution to be quite stable.

Technical support is great.

The solution has a high cost. Due to this, people are going for open-source instead. 

If you want to scale, it will get even more expensive.

I've been using the solution for ten years or so. It's been a decade or so. 

The stability of the solution is good. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable. 

The scalability potential depends on the package that a company gets. If you purchase Datadog, it will be easy to extend and have multiple nodes. The more features you purchase, however, the higher the price. Scaling comes at a cost.

Technical support has been very helpful. They respond on time and you don't waste any time waiting for the tickets. You just get the answer directly usually in the same hour or on the same day at a maximum. We are extremely satisfied with them.

The initial setup is not overly complex or difficult. It's very straightforward.

The cost is very high. All the customers that I know are planning to move to an open-source database for this reason.

I'm just a customer and an end-user.

We used to use 12C, however, we recently moved to 19C.

I would recommend the solution if the company has a budget and if you have a project that will provide revenue to cover the price for the actual product. If a company is going to start a product that will not give the right revenue at the beginning, I would suggest PostgreSQL.

I would rate the product at an eight out of ten. It loses a  few points mostly due to the high price tag.

We use Oracle Database for the solution we make using Oracle APEX for our clients. Oracle Database can be used in all sectors, we have many clients in the financial sector. 

The main feature of Oracle Database is its performance.

Oracle could improve by providing better integration with other solutions, such as Angular platforms. We have a lot of pressure from our customers to have this type of compatibility, we end up using other solutions that tend to mimic the functionality but it is not natural, expensive, and is difficult to maintain.

We have already seen some tools that they are working on, but they are in an experimental stage and do not look too promising. There is a need for more collaboration moving forward. In the past it was beautiful, now the world is collaborative, and it is hard to have that integration with everybody else.

I have been using Oracle Database for approximately 30 years.

The solution is reliable.

The support from Oracle is very good.

The price of the solution could be reduced.

I rate Oracle Database an eight out of ten.
