Oracle Database Reviews

It is for my personal use. I am using it for implementing data loss prevention (DLP), for which Oracle Database had to be installed first. I didn't use it for any other product.

Its performance is good. It is also stable and scalable.

Its administration side is very difficult. To install Oracle Database, you need to have some prior knowledge. You must learn their commands. I was new to this, so I found some difficulty in it. Its installation should be easier. 

It is expensive, and it should be cheaper.

I have been using this solution for around six months.

It is stable.

It is scalable. I will continue to use it because it is required for implementing DLP.

I haven't used their technical support.

I installed SQL Server.

You need to have prior knowledge to install Oracle Database. The deployment took three to four hours.

I installed it myself.

It is very expensive. Oracle licenses are expensive.

I would recommend it if it is necessary, but you need to have the budget to purchase it.

I would rate Oracle Database a six out of ten.

I mainly work on business intelligence with Qlik and use Oracle Database for the reporting and replicating. Together, we use Oracle Database and Oracle MySQL for this PoC.

We use MySQL to feed the data to the Qlik compose.

The procedures work very well. 

It's fast compared to other databases.

The syntax options are available in Google.

The initial setup should be improved.

I have been working with Oracle Database for three years.

I have not worked on Oracle Database a lot, as I concentrate on business intelligence. However, I have not experienced any issues or limitations.

It's a scalable product.

I have not contacted technical support. It's is handled through my internet team.

During the installation, we had to install certificates, but it was not mentioned in the documentation.

Definitely, I would recommend this solution to others.

I would rate Oracle Database a nine out of ten.

I would refer to Oracle's solution like a shield, it is very stable and has many features.

They could improve on making changes to their software faster, they are a large company and sometimes changes are slow. Also, Oracle can improve themselves in the cloud for Microsoft Azure systems.

I started using the solution 12 years ago.

When we are not able to solve a problem, we immediately contacted Oracle support team to help us solve it. They normally respond in a timely manner.

The installation can be easy. It depends on what you install. If you just install a database, it's easy but if you install some other programs it can be a little bit longer and difficult to install. 

We have a team of approximately 10 technicians working on the deployment. Sometimes the deployment of the product can reach some barriers, not because of a fault of Oracle but sometimes the hardware systems being installed on are older and can cause some problems. 

It would be a benefit if there were different pricing levels to help different size businesses. The product is a bit expensive compared to other competitors. 

I would recommend Oracle Database, I love Oracle. 

I rate Oracle Database a ten 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 the solution to store all of our application's data in the database. 

The queries performance could improve compared to other products.

I have been using the solution for over 15 years, almost 20 years.

It is a stable product. In terms of recovery, if there is a failure or some kind of fault, we can recover the data. We do not lose it.

The scalability is depending on your infrastructure, if you have the hardware then you can expand it, it is all configurable. Our whole database house is running it and it has been fine.

I have used Aruba previously which was faster at processing queries.

I would recommend this product.

I rate Oracle Database a seven 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 are third-party administrators and we use Oracle Database as our main Database.

What I like most is the real application security. I have been working with it recently.

The initial setup can be simplified.

I have been working with this solution since the beginning, for more than 20 years.

Stability is not a problem. It's more stable than other solutions.

It's a scalable solution. We haven't encountered any problems. We use partitioning and sharding.

Technical support is not a problem. We receive all of the technical support that we need.

The initial setup is complex. 

The installation of Oracle products is not usually as straightforward as dealing with Microsoft products for example.

It's expensive. I would say that it is more expensive than other competing products.

I recommend this solution to others who are interested in using it.

I would rate Oracle Database a seven out of ten.
