Oracle Database Reviews

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.

It is very easy to use the product.

I have been using the product for many years.

We currently have 18 people in our organization using this product. I find it to be a stable product.

Customer support could be faster, you currently have to write your issue to them and then they will get back to you after 24-hours.

Depending on the product used, the installation time can vary. The installation was easy and straightforward. The supplied instructional documentation for install is clear to follow.

I rate Oracle Database a nine out of ten.

We use this solution as a customer database for our client so all customer information is available through this product. I'm a senior professional security compliance officer and we are partners with Oracle. 

I like that the solution has an endless capacity, there are no limitations and it's a stable platform. 

The licensing formulation could be improved; it's too complicated and very rigid. 

I've been using this solution for a very long time. 

It's a stable solution but there are bugs which I think is related to standards compliance. There are limitations in monitoring. 

Technical support is somewhat limited. 

The initial setup was complex. Compared to the implementation of Microsoft SQL, we needed skilled people to manage Oracle. Implementation took some weeks. 

I think this is a good solution because it's easy to administer and manage but it requires the right skilled people. It's not ideal for our requirements but it's improving, whether it's encryption or security, I know they'll get there eventually. 

I would rate this solution a seven out of 10. 

We mainly use the Oracle Enterprise Edition, and in the first days of 2021, we will be installing Oracle Exadata cloud for our customers.

The most valuable features are stability, its backup and recovery, and its performance.

I am not very satisfied with the support at times. You don't always get the support at the time you want and need it.

The price could be better. 

My experience has been perfect, but there is always room for improvement for everything.

I have been working with this solution for more than 20 years.

When I first started I was a developer, now I work as a database administrator, consultant, and integrator.

This solution is very stable,

Stability is one of its main advantages. 

I would rate the stability of this solution an eight out of ten.

In terms of scalability, it's a very powerful tool.

If you are using real application clusters, now after many years, it's very easy to expand your environment.

When you compare it to scaling 10 years ago, it's much easier now to expand the environment.

I would rate the scalability an eight out of ten.

Now after many years it's straightforward.

With the many different environments, it can get complicated at times.

When there are too many operations systems with too many hardware platforms, such as HP-UX, Solaris, UNIX, and Windows.

It's common at times to have some issues, but it's not something that can't be resolved.

It's not cheap, but sometimes, you get what you pay for. 

It's expensive.

Depending on the budget and the device, I would recommend this solution to others who are interested in using it. 

If you have the money, then you should invest in this product, because you can't compare it with anything else on the market as far as a database is concerned.

I would rate Oracle Database a nine out of ten.

We use the relational databases for government contracts.

It is a very solid and stable product.

It is scalable. This is probably why it is so expensive!

It is expensive.

Oracle Database is cloud ready, not only for the software standardization, but also for the scripting. You can install Oracle Database software, patching, and create/configure Oracle databases in silent using scripts. Therefore, you can easily automate everything in cloud.

Performance is the best key value. Oracle Database is suitable for OLTP applications or data warehouse. You can run Oracle Database software on-premise or in the cloud. Also, Oracle provides Exadata, the engineered system designed for Oracle Database, where you can achieve maximum performance.

Upgrade is the most critical phase for the lifecycle of a database. In order to be sure that the migration succeeds, you need to be up-to-date. Therefore, regularly install the patchset and security updates.

No. The most critical error was due to a bug on database policies, so selecting it got the wrong results.

No issues.

I would give technical support a seven out of 10 rating.

As of now, I use different database solutions depending on the use case (for example, MySQL or Microsoft SQL Server).

It is not complex, but you need to be aware of the best practices provided by Oracle. Therefore, I recommend to read the official documentation before starting a new Oracle installation. Also, be informed of the known issues using My Oracle Support.

If it is the first time implementing, contact a partner or an expert in order to install/configure your Oracle Database. This is the best way or think about Oracle PaaS in the Cloud.

Not in my scope.
