Oracle Database Reviews

The most valuable feature for us is certainly the scalability of the DB as we need capabilities for multiple terabytes of data.

I don't know much about other organizations, and I've used SQL in the past at other companies, but because most of our customers are different federal government agencies, it's provided us scale to support many terabytes of data.

Recently with the 12.102 version, Oracle decreased the number of hardware you can use. I would like them to revert that back to where it was. We use the standard edition, so obviously that's going to hurt our customers as Oracle is reducing the hardware we can use.

We've been using DB since the beginning, so 33 years now. I haven't used it personally since then, but the company has.

We've had no issues with deployment.

It's definitely stable. We've had no issues with instability.

It's very scalable, which is the primary reason we use it.

Oracle's technical support is better than most, but it's not perfect. Obviously, when we open a ticket for support, it needs to get escalated a couple of times before we actually get an engineer who can really get down and help us. That's typical of the industry, so it's better than most, but not perfect.

The complexity of the initial setup depends. The patch releases have been simple: you download, you install, and it works fine. There have been no issues that we've run into there. The major upgrades, however, I think with the new 12.102, they've made some changes in it, so we're still trying to figure that one out.

It's a great product, no doubt about it. Oracle did a good job on it and that's why they have a big market share. I think if you're starting from scratch, look for other alternatives. Investigate the alternatives to see if they can meet your needs.

Technically, it's almost flawless, I would say. There are bugs in it of course, but they are bugs that doesn't impact us as a company.

Our company does not have an Oracle Database. We are in charge of maintenance and deployment. We have several managed services for several customers, and we administer and deploy Oracle databases in those customers.

We are system integrators who deploy projects with infrastructure and manage infrastructure services.

Our main customers are in the banking industry. In the banking environment, Oracle databases are used for a wide range of solutions.

For all bank transactions to communicate in the various Oracle databases, the data must be extracted from the host systems and brought to work at a data warehouse. With a special banking solution, it requires another banking program.

Oracle is used to deploy solutions. The dashboard may be the best solution for intelligent data management, as well as business intelligence.

We believe that Oracle in the cloud is more secure.

It is more scalable on-premises.

Technical support needs improvement.

We have been providing Oracle Database for the last ten years.

We have been system integrators since the company's inception. I believe it will be 20 years that we have been working as system integrators.

We work both in the cloud and on-premises. We were born on-premises, but have spent the last five years working in a hybrid cloud model.

Oracle Database is a stable solution.

Oracle Database is scalable.

We have approximately 25 to 30 customers in the banking industry who use Oracle Database.

Technical support is okay, but some areas could be better.

Our core business is in the desktop virtualization model with Citrix and Microsoft. Citrix with desktop and Citrix solutions, as well as VMware and all virtualization software-defined projects.

We put all of our solutions in the cloud. It is one of our primary focuses, but some of our clients may prefer to have some of their infrastructure in on-premises solutions.

We use all of the virtuals from all of the databases. We use both Oracle and SQL.

The initial setup is straightforward. It's an easy installation.

The way we deploy services and project infrastructures in the cloud and on-premises differs.

We are deploying Oracle for large systems. We are aware that our customers have large Oracle systems.

There is a good return on investments.

In the last two or three years, we have been active on the internet to research the deployments to bring to the customer.

During the previous administration, we collaborated with our customers, and we preferred to deploy the new Oracle systems to the cloud, perhaps we are working on the journey from Oracle system to cloud, which is based in Oracle Cloud.

In general, I recommend the product. We have customers in Spain and Latin America, including Argentina, Peru, Chile, Brazil, and Mexico.

We introduce and maintain Oracle for these customers. Alternatively, one of the major customers is Bank Santander, Bank Sabadell, or Kaiser, which are large banks with operations all over the world.

We're collaborating with Oracle's architects and consulting solutions team in one part of the project and the Q&A in projects. We collaborate with Oracle consulting teams to deploy the solution in dashboards.

I would rate Oracle Database a nine out of ten.

I use Oracle Database for the server from Microsoft.

Big companies and millions of smaller businesses need Oracle Database because it's secure. The implementation of services is good for data security in Oracle. Implementing higher availability is also good. Whenever one side goes down, the other side will be up. I like using Oracle Database in Oracle x86 Servers. It's more comfortable to use Oracle Database in this situation.

It would be better if they had a license management service.

Oracle Database is very stable.

The initial setup is easy.

I would tell potential users that they need to use Oracle Database if they need security. It's great and the best. You can also use various software in our database.

On a scale from one to ten, I would give Oracle Database a ten.

We are using a BI solution and Oracle Transaction Server for transaction data. So, transactional data is being stored in the Oracle Database.

I like the query part and the optimization of the query to get the data. I also like its speedy recovery and stability. In the security part, the loss of data is minimal for any crashes that could happen. First of all, it might not occur, but if it happens, the recovery of the data is smoother than others.

It would be better if the administrator part could be simplified. At the moment, we need specialized skills for managing or administering Oracle Database. If that is simplified, my juniors or basic database engineers could use it. Right now, we need specific administrative skills to manage the Oracle Server.

I have been dealing with Oracle Database for more than a decade.

Oracle Database is a stable solution.

Oracle Database is definitely scalable. For the project we are working on, the team size is around 500 to 600 engineers. But not everyone is working on Oracle. Even if we go with the 10% or 5% count, you still end up with 20 to 50 people who are dealing with the SQL queries, day in, day out.

I would recommend this database solution to potential users, but it depends on their specific business needs.

On a scale from one to ten, I would give Oracle Database an eight.

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.

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.

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.

The primary use case of this solution is in a financial institution to store our transactional data.

This product has a number of features. The feature that I worked with and that excited me the most is one that is not available in other databases, and it involves the use of Java Runtime.

There is also a feature that will trace the transaction and direct them to an FTP server. That was excellent. It is provisioned with very little additional cost.

The database has a lot and not everything is known to every user. The licensing is a bit complicated. 

I am trying to configure the GoldenGate and I find that you have to connect to the classic one in big data, I should use only one instead of two to stream the data to streaming platforms.

The integration with other vendor solutions needs improvement. It is difficult to connect to other hardware.

I would like to see more focus on the features that are supporting the new technology, rather than just focus on the hardware.

I have been working with Oracle Database for approximately seven years.

This solution is stable and we have not had any issues. 

It's a scalable solution.

We have subscribed to the site, where we can ticket the problem. There is a library of issues that have been recorded worldwide. You can search the library resources to find your problem and follow that research to resolve it.

The initial setup was straightforward. The challenge comes with performance tuning, where you need more experience.

I do more than 70% of work on an Oracle database, which is why I would recommend it to others.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.
