We use the product for data warehousing or business analytics for software applications, including Enterprise Transactional Systems (ETT). It has significantly enhanced our application development process by introducing substantial time savings and streamlining routine tasks. When considering an upgrade, the process is simplified, eliminating the need for meticulous checks of backups. Instead, developers can efficiently review the latest updates, choose a suitable upgrade window for their business, and with a few clicks during a designated maintenance window, initiate the process. For data security, the most beneficial features are validation and verification processes conducted by the service provider before the release of any patches on the official page. The stringent process instills confidence in the reliability of the service, especially in preventing potential security breaches or risks. Oracle service's technical team keeps the clients informed regarding any identified threats and actions to protect the data. It reduces the manual workload for database administrators, allowing them to focus on efficiently implementing patches during designated management windows. The scalability has made the operations easier than traditional methods. When expanding our product or adjusting resources, we no longer need to perform intricate operations at the operating system or hardware level. Instead, it automatically spins or reallocates storage within the service. The process takes about an hour and a half, ensuring optimized storage to meet the growing needs of our expanding datasets. The feature of automatic incremental backup has been beneficial to business continuity planning. It ensures that all backup activities are seamlessly managed without requiring any major involvement from the database administrators. It eliminates the need for manual scripting or the setup of intricate backup scenarios. As a result, the maintenance time gets reduced as well. The integration with other systems has medium complexity. I rate the product an eight out of ten.

It is an excellent product and service to launch your career with. If you become proficient in it, it can set you up for a twenty-year-long career. I would rate it eight out of ten.
20 people are required for the solution’s maintenance. I can recommend Oracle Database to many companies, especially those using Oracle Cloud services. The price is not very expensive, and Oracle Cloud offers a variety of features and benefits. Overall, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.
When it comes to other people looking into this solution, I would advise double-checking the pricing as it's quite high for Oracle. Other than that, go for it. Overall, I would rate this solution a 10, on a scale from one to 10, with one being the worst and 10 being the best.
I would rate the solution a ten on ten. Anyone looking to implement the solution should be mindful of the sizing since it affects the licensing and AMC support. I would suggest customers to try the subscription-based pricing model rather than the optimized licensing one.

Oracle is a very powerful product. It's not a toy. Therefore, if a company wants to use it, it must have qualified people on board to manage it. It also requires some amount of memory or CPU. You need to have the space for it and a backup, et cetera. However, it's very useful, and it's a very professional database. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten. For our customers, it's the best solution we can provide.
I will rate this solution a nine out of ten. We have been using this solution for the past ten years. We will continue the partnership. I do not expect to see any further integration of the tool with our software. I will recommend this tool to those with a large database.
I would rate Oracle a nine out of ten. I have used different versions in different companies. For example, at the moment, in this company, we have an Oracle record 11g. In my former company, we used 12c and 19c. It's not good to lag too much time because then you will fight with the problems to update the newer versions. We are planning to upgrade it from 11g to 2019.

My company has more than five thousand clients on Oracle Database as a Service, but it could now be less than that because of the price issue. Thirty people maintain, monitor, and do ad hoc testing and recovery backup for Oracle Database as a Service. If a client currently uses Oracle Database as a Service, I suggest keeping it. However, scaling it is challenging, and its pricing is costly. In the past, Oracle Database as a Service was a nine out of ten. Nowadays, it's a five out of ten. My company is an Oracle customer.
I use this solution because it is a powerful database and is faster than others. It has so many features. When I compare it with other database, I prefer the Oracle Database. I would rate this solution an eight of ten.
I would rate this solution as an eight out of ten because the stability and performance are good and the solution does not need to be maintained a lot.
I give the solution a nine out of ten. We have around seven people using the solution in our organization. The solution is expensive but I do recommend it to others.
If you are a developer or you have developers to develop items in Oracle, then you should go with Oracle. If not, then definitely go for something else. Oracle is very vast and the performance is good, however, you need some knowledge. Potential new users should take some time to compare other databases together. I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.
I rate Oracle Database as a Service nine out of 10. It's easy to implement and use. Disaster recovery is easy. Oracle has availability domains in different regions, so you will never lose your data. Oracle has built expertise in database solutions for the last 35 years, and now they are offering this in a cloud service
We use the on-premises deployment model. We're currently experimenting with Oracle at the moment. Currently, customers are looking for and experimenting with various databases. The clients that I've talked to have asked about MySQL or Amazon Aurora Database as well Microsoft Secret Server. In terms of Oracle, what I've heard from some clients was that the cloud database was a disappointment for them compared to the on-premise database. Some of them were regretful about doing that sort of migration. They told me they were over-promised, and the cloud database didn't deliver. The on-premise databases are quite solid, however. They are very good. I'd rate the solution seven out of ten. I'm personally not happy with Oracle, but from a technical standpoint, they have a very solid product.

We use the on-premises solution because the customer has to have their own environment. In our case, for our clients, that's one of the big advantages. A potential issue might be getting used to the Oracle interface. Personally, I didn't use the interface provided by Oracle. In that way, the interface was not a problem for me because I used to use a third-party application like Toad that maybe more people are already familiar with and I think is easy for me to use already. We are using the same server software application. I don't know if Oracle provided database software and SQL developer or not. But for myself, I needed an application to develop the features and functions on the Oracle Database. While I prefer and recommend Oracle, many other factors are involved in making decisions. If all the factors are the same and there are no limitations for the cost or other issues for adopting Oracle compared with other products, I think Oracle would always be a better choice. A lesson I learned is that you have to always verify the virtual data when you are acting as a software as a service house for the customer. Oracle is part of our winning team. It may not be the only product that we use to achieve the result. On a scale from one to ten, where one is the worst and ten is the best, I would rate this product as a seven to eight depending a little on how you use it. For us, it is an eight because it is very good at what it does and we use other tools to make it do what we want it to do. We don't fight with the one product to try and make it do everything.

Be aware that migration actually takes some time. Also, keep in mind what your data size is. If you are going to have a huge database size, just migrate to Database as a Service. I would rate this as nine out of ten.
I don't use the management features because I don't work with the GUI. I prefer to use the command line. Oracle is a very good solution that I would recommend. It is strong software with good support and documentation available. I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

Read my 12cR2 book on Amazon: www.amazon.com How would Oracle rate on a scale of 1 to 10 with cloud solution? I think it depends absolutely on which Oracle cloud solution it is. Some are 10 and some are lower. It depends which architecture you evaluate. Many people are looking at it now. The main key is get educated. Understand what's out there. I did three sessions at Oracle OpenWorld and Java World in 2017, all of them have cloud. I will do many at Collaborate earlier this year (April 2018) and all of them will have cloud. Why? Because I know it's important and where many things are going to some degree. Whether people are using the 12c database, 18c database, that's one of my talks, I know it's important to be ready for the cloud (the 11g database is also available on the cloud). How you would migrate each database and what multi-tenant does to assist you in that process is an important feature of Oracle. I also have regular sessions on the Internet of Things (IOT) which talks about all these devices that are going to be integrated with your database and big data and obviously cloud plays perfectly to that one.
