Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The deployment of our solution across a number of servers using Ingres .NET has meant that we can protect the database server behind a highly secure firewall and deploy the front end solutions on a normal web server."

More Actian Ingres Pros →

"We primarily use it for OLTP, which has improved our costs.""The product’s valuable feature is its capability to pre-configure and pre-install the settings.""The performance due to the all-flash of ODA is very nice.""The performance of the system is the solution's most valuable aspect. In combination with the database, it gives perfect results. It's a better system than using other kinds of integrated systems. In general, the ODA control is much simpler to use and offers up the best performance.""The most valuable feature of the solution is the ability to combine all the data without the need for additional devices.""We value the appliance architecture with its “everything-in-a-box” highly standardized setup.""If the database goes down on one of the servers, the load is automatically shifted to another server. You can troubleshoot the one that is down without affecting uptime.""The main feature is the management and manageability of the tool. We can create a VM on a laptop within a couple of clicks."

Cons
"The ability to reset the log file without stopping the DBMS would be helpful for us."

More Actian Ingres Cons →

"It would be beneficial to have dedicated RAM included in the Oracle Database Appliance.""I would be happy to see the Oracle Auto Service Request (ASR) pre-installed in it instead of installing it in a separate machine.""The product's pricing is too high. We plan to migrate to another database in three to four years.""If we were able to use Oracle Database to create mobile apps, that would be great. I don't know multiple languages, like Java, etc. I need to learn a separate language, right now in order to do this.""The product is quite complex to set up, initially. It would be ideal if it was simpler.""Oracle's product support is an area of concern where improvements are required.""Oracle Database Appliance patching comes out two to three months after the regular patching cycle.""I would like it if the scalability could be increased without having to change versions."
