Oracle Database Reviews

We use this solution based on the requirements of a client.

We primarily use it for a client that has a huge amount of data and has another application that also has lots of data. It's very good at handling jobs that have huge datasets.  

I'm not a regular user of the solution.

It's a great product overall.

The initial setup isn't too difficult.

The product does have a lot of features. However, I've barely explored them.

The main issue with Oracle is the maintenance required. They should work to make it less maintenance-heavy. This is especially true if you are using it on Linux. You need more experience and skills in order to maintain it on Linux in general.

We've had corruption occur if the power gets cut off. We had a bad experience with some cases. However, this might have been due to our own infrastructure issues that have since been dealt with.

We've used the solution for three or four years.

The solution isn't widely used by our company. I'm the only one testing it. The people in our company don't use Oracle at all.

I've never directly dealt with technical support. I cannot speak to how helpful or responsive they would be. Whenever I have a problem or issue, I google it and search for answers online. 

While I don't have much personal experience, my understanding is that the initial setup isn't too difficult. It's pretty simple and straightforward.

In our organization, we don't use Oracle, aside from in labs. We use Oracle in our labs just for testing and connectivity. We have versions of Oracle in our labs and other SQL devices.

We don't really use the solution too much in the company and therefore don't have a license. We test it for customers. I can't speak to the licensing process or costs. 

I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten. It's mostly been a positive experience, working with the product.

Between Oracle and SQL, I would recommend SQL to other users and companies. 

Once we get the installation done, we migrate items to our new DB and we maintain the service with tasks such as clearing the caches and taking the backups, and checking the logs. We look at what it's doing - if something's wrong or if there are any kinds of issues. Occasionally, we do some performance tuning.

The latest version is a lot more organized than the previous version. We can check out the regular files and our dictionaries and our created files, which are a little better organized right now.

The initial setup was pretty simple.

The solution is pretty stable.

The previous version was a little clunky. 

I'm not exactly experienced in troubleshooting. There are issues that I can't really fix. Sometimes I'm helpless with Google also. Trying to learn to identify the exact issue I was getting a Boolean error. I need to improve my knowledge. I'd like to have more documentation or assistance in this area.

The solution could be more user-friendly,

I've been using the solution for five or six years. It's been a while.

It's a wonderful product. Those that have a lot of experience working with the product, those with ten or 15 years of experience, will be able to understand its core processes. Those with only a few year's experience will feel there's a certain lack of transparency.  That said, I haven't had any issues with bugs or glitches, and when it is set up correctly, it doesn't crash or freeze.

The initial setup is not complex or difficult. It's straightforward and pretty easy to set up.

If you are experienced it is an easy task for you, however, it is a process. We have to check every step. If we've done something wrong in any step, then the whole installation process will be for nothing. New errors will come up. We have to document everything and we have to have the requirements clearly laid out. I've learned the hard way that you cannot take shortcuts.

We're just a customer and an end-user. We don't have a business relationship with Oracle.

We have our primary DB on Oracle 19C.

We have to manage everything, including the frontend and backend.

I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten. If it was more user-friendly, I would rate it higher.

I would recommend Oracle Database to others. We have some colleagues who are doing some small-scale businesses. For them, it might not be suitable. Not everyone should get into Oracle. It is a standard product, however, you need to understand your exact requirements. 

We are a hotel and the use the database for many things. It's connected to an API, and we use that to connect directly to the database. 

This is a powerful solution. It offers us a lot of backup security and we can make an image and a backup of the database every day. It's also very responsive so that when information is updated, it takes less than five seconds to update everything.

I think this solution could be a little more user friendly and they could include a graphic interface for the monitoring of the system. The current monitoring system is not very user friendly. 

I've been using this solution for five years. 

Stability is solid and powerful. 

The scalability is fine, we have about 50 people who have access to the interface - we have a front office team, managers, housekeeping team, finance, sales and others. There are lot of users eligible to connect and update information.

The technical support is very good, they are very responsive.

The initial setup is fine, it took about a day for deployment and some extra time for configuration. We use it for the hotel and that requires creating rooms, codes, things like that. It depends what you need to do. We were able to deploy the solution ourselves but for specific tasks you need support.  

We pay an annual license fee to Oracle. 

I would recommend this product. 

I rate this solution a 10 out of 10. 

We are a system integrator and Oracle Database is one of the products that we implement for our clients. We have good knowledge when it comes to Oracle integrations.

There are many use cases but it is most often used for specific software development projects, such as portals. We have some enterprise portals, for example, and it is also useful for self-service applications such as payments or other requests.

It is often used for information systems.

The most valuable feature is that it is a complete product with all of the functionality that you need, and there is no need for any special features.

We have been working with Oracle Database for a couple of years.

We have approximately 10 customers who are using Oracele.

Technical support is perfect.

The installation is quite straightforward. As long as you follow the proper process, there is no problem with it. Typically, it takes three or four hours to deploy.

For security aspects, our customers prefer an on-premises deployment over a cloud-based one.

We have two database administrators who are responsible for maintenance. One is a senior-level engineer and the other is a junior.

Our customers sometimes complain about the price of the license, as it is very high for them.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

We are using the solution for enterprise business databases.

I have been using this solution for approximately 10 years.

The solution in my experience has been stable.

The solution could be more scalable. We have approximately 100 users using the solution in my company and we plan on increasing the usage.

I was satisfied with the technical support.

There is a license required for this solution and it is a little expensive.

We plan to continue using the solution in the future.

I rate Oracle Database an eight out of ten.

The solution is used for multiple applications. The solution can hold a lot of applications.

It's been one of the best databases for us. We really enjoy its capabilities.

The product is very easy to use. Users have no problem navigating it and using it.

The solution is extremely stable. It's pretty much issue-free so far.

You can expand it easily. It's scalable.

The initial setup is very straightforward. The deployment is easy.

It's a good default database. Many Windows applications also work on Oracle.

Technical support is very helpful and responsive.

The pricing of the product could be better. It's too expensive right now. They need to bring down the cost.

It would be ideal with the product could introduce more security features. It would make the solution that much better.

We've been using the solution for a few years now. We have a good amount of experience at this point.

The solution offers excellent stability. Its performance is very reliable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's very good. It's basically been issue-free.

The solution is very scalable. If a company needs to expand it, it can do so with relative ease.

We have about ten users on the solution currently.

We've reached out to technical support in the past. They've been very helpful and knowledgeable. We've contacted them very rarely, however, when we have reached out they have been responsive. We're very satisfied with their level of service. They are quite good.

The initial setup is not complex or difficult. It's very straightforward and easy to implement. A company shouldn't have too many issues with the process. 

We have a team of two that are able to handle the deployment and maintenance aspects. You don't need a lot of people to watch over it. 

If the solution was less expensive, they would get man more clients. The pricing can be an issue for many.

We always use the on-premises deployment model. We never use cloud-based deployment models. 

I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten overall. We are quite happy with the capabilities. It's a very, very good database.

I primarily use the solution for high transaction services.

I primarily use the Oracle Clock feature. For me, it's the most valuable aspect of the product.

The user interface is quite good.

We haven't had any problems with support.

We've found the integration with other solutions to be acceptable.

The stability is great.

We've found the solution to be scalable.

There's a good online community that can help users troubleshoot issues.

The solution could be better and more constant at higher-speed transactions. The solution could be more stable and offer more data. In SQL, I find more consistency.

The licenses could be improved. They should examine their structure. The pricing could be better.

The initial setup is complex.

It would be nice to have cloud and on-premises options available. It would be ideal if there could be integration with cloud services.

I've used the solution for a while. 

The stability has been pretty good. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable.

The scalability is good. If you need to scale it up as a company, you can do so. I have not heard of anyone having any problems in that regard.

We have 2,000 to 3,000 users not eh solution typically.

We mostly deal with large businesses. 

We haven't had any issues with technical support. However, I haven't really had a chance to interact with them, and therefore can't really speak from personal experience. 

There are lots of communities that deal with Oracle. Typically, if you have a question or a problem, you can find an answer online and you don't necessarily need to turn directly to Oracle support.

The initial setup is not very straightforward. The Oracle manual is complex and the steps involved are not so easy to explain. The initial process and configuration can be tricky.

The deployment itself took about half a day or so.

The maintenance is pretty easy. It doesn't take up a lot of time. 

Oracle needs to offer better pricing.

Our first option was Oracle, however, we also looked at Postgres SQL. 

There are a few key differences, including the license. They also differ in terms of the reliability of services and the specifications. It is a more complicated process. It is a very very complicated process to customize things, for example.

My company is an Oracle partner and reseller for end controls. My company is a management and service provider.

I'm using three versions of the product - Versions 3, 11, and 12.2.

I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten. We've been mostly happy with the product.

We are primarily using the solution for Oracle RAC - Real Application Clusters.

The solution is very stable with the performance being very reliable. 

We've found that it is very easy to scale the solution.

The installation is very simple and straightforward. The deployment process happens very quickly.

Technical support has always been helpful and knowledgeable. 

The security of the solution could be improved. It's an area that isn't as good as it could be.

I've been using the solution for about ten years or so. It has been approximately a decade. I've used the solution for a long time.

The solution is stable. The performance is very good. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's very good.

The solution can scale quite well. A company that needs to expand it, it can do so with relative ease. We haven't found any issues or shortcomings in that respect.

We have about 50 or so people in our organization that are using it at this time.

Although it hasn't been fully decided, we may increase usage in the future.

We have dealt with technical support in the past. They have been helpful and responsive. We're quite satisfied with the level of service we receive. I have no complaints.

The initial setup is very straightforward. It's not overly complex. It's very easy. A company shouldn't have any issues with the initial setup.

The deployment is very fast. It takes about an hour or so. 

We have 10 engineers that are capable of implementing the solution.

I handled the implementation myself. I did not need the assistance of an integrator or consultant. 

We do not have to pay for a license in order to be able to use the product.

We are a customer and an end-user. We don't have a professional business relationship with Oracle. 

I would rate this solution, on a scale from one to ten, at a ten. We are extremely satisfied with its capabilities. 

I would recommend the solution to other organizations and users.
