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.

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.

It can be used for OTP, ERP systems, server systems, and data warehousing.

I like the design of the database because it works well. I also like the stability of the solution.

The licensing cost could be better.

I've been using Oracle Database for the last 16 years.

It's a cloud-based solution.

It is a stable solution.

We have a yearly license, and it could be cheaper.

I would recommend Oracle Database and rate it at eight on a scale from one to ten.

This is our database for ERP and all other things.

I am not an IT person. I am an end-user of this solution, and based on my experience, it is comfortable to work with. Everything is okay, and the data is timely available. It can also be easily integrated.

Their local support can be better. Local support is a challenge in Africa for all IT companies.

I have been using this solution for a couple of years.

We have approximately a hundred users in our organization. We plan to keep using this solution.

Their technical support is good, but there is no local support. Local support is a challenge in Africa for all IT companies.

For deployment, we have three full-time employees and a few consultants.

We have bought a license, and it was a one-time cost.

I would rate Oracle Database a nine out of ten. My experience as an end-user has been good with this solution. I have not used any other product or have knowledge of any other product.

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.

Our users access the database via a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system. It provides the basis of all the information in the company including information about suppliers, customers, and end-users. We have about 300 users.

The backup system is good. We back up all our key marketing data. The integration is a good aspect of Oracle.

CRM could be improved. What I mean by that is the CRM is composed of NetSuite and the Oracle database to perform the functions of a CRM. Both of these need to be improved. It is not very user friendly and there is not enough customization.

I joined the company two years ago. The Oracle database is the only one we use that I know of. The database is deployed on a private cloud.

Stability is good. It is a very stable product.

Scalability is good. 

The setup is difficult.

I would rate Oracle database 7 out of 10. To get this up to 10 they would need to improve the interface.

I used it on-premises to implement core solutions for sandbags. Most of the time, I use the 11g version, but of late, I'm using version 12.

The database is very secure, robust, and scalable. It has all the features that you need, such as disaster recovery, replication, backup, etc. It comes with all the features.

When it comes to Oracle, the only complaint that I have is their support. For business-critical cases, finding support is a little bit difficult because of the timezone difference. They should provide faster support to resolve issues on time.

I have been using Oracle Database for nine to ten years.

It is scalable. The number of users using this solution depends upon the business. For example, a bank might have 4,000 or 5,000 community users.

They should provide faster support to resolve issues on time.

The initial setup is very straightforward. It takes a maximum of two hours, but it depends on your experience. If you know what you are doing, you can automate the entire process, and leave it to be done. From my experience, it usually takes 45 minutes to an hour.

I implement it on my own.

It is expensive. 

We are definitely going to keep using it. There is no better product than this. I would 100% recommend this solution to others as long as they can bear the cost. It is the best product, and it covers most of our needs.

I would rate Oracle Database a ten out of ten.

We store our data in a database. We have a lot of data. We load it in our database everyday, then use it for reports.

This is the main database that we have.

Stores a lot of data in a short time.

• Integration with big data would be helpful since we are planning to load a lot of big data.
• A lot of features have bugs or choose the wrong way to process data. Sometimes, we struggle with that.

It is very stable.

For our needs, scalability is okay.

We have a DBA who does our support.

I would recommend the product.

Most important criteria when selecting a vendor:

• The product should be good.
• Features
• Its stability.
