There are no improvements needed in Oracle Multitenant, but improvements could be made in the AI part. We feel that the server, OAS, the analytics server, is missing an AI component which exists in the cloud, in OAC.

Currently, I have a very good experience with Oracle Multitenant. The pluggable database is easy to handle and manage, sharing resources efficiently. However, Oracle license pricing is an issue due to its high cost. Our organization is compelled to reduce CPU usage by seventy CPUs because the Oracle license cost depends on it.
There are many functions where changes are not easy to implement, and we try to avoid modifying these areas due to security issues and the complexity of maintaining them. Also, support can be improved as it sometimes takes a long time to resolve complex issues.
I have not encountered challenges that require feedback for changes. Oracle Multitenant is quite stable and reliable. The only issue is that shared files for the main container affect all container databases if something happens to them.
Everything is going well with the tool. From the scope of improvement, I would say that people are adopting new query options. Certain databases like MongoDB adopt new query options so that they can just pull the data. Using new query options, we can generate the data, which will be pretty helpful for those users who don't have any knowledge about databases. They also can face the data without learning to do some queries.
Technical support could be faster. It's a nice product. It rarely disappoints anyone, but when it disappoints, support takes a lot, a bit of time before they sort you out. If they could improve that, then it'll be a very good experience using it.

In terms of what can be improved, the interface is ok. I don't know what can be better. I don't see any problem. I would say that the portable database should not be open as the default. That causes you to lose time. I would also like to see an easier way to give answers when I'm working, but I think that is more about my understanding of how to work the container database. This solution is a bit complicated when collecting from containers - that feature should be a bit better.

I'm not using it in production yet. It's easy to test a product. You can test it, play with it, and use the trial, but to put it into production is another story. That said, Oracle, in general, doesn't invest in their UI for any of their applications. If we're talking about the dashboard or other user experience, there is room for improvement. I'm talking about on-premises. The cloud version has started to improve.

There is room for improvement in customer service and support.
While the product is overall excellent, it is quite expensive.

I think a GUI for commands would improve the solution because it's currently managed with commands in the CLI.

It would be beneficial to include this solution with Oracle Enterprise, but Oracle charges additional fees for it.

The user interface for this solution can be made better. This solution is a little bit pricey. It costs a lot of money.
