Find out in this report how the two Relational Databases Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It's the best solution in terms of security, performance, and availability because the system is available 24/7."
"The scalability and availability of this solution are the most valuable features."
"Its functionality and availability are valuable. Its availability is great. It is available 99.99% of the time."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its compatibility with IBM Power Systems."
"The most valuable feature of the IBM Db2 Database is security."
"The solution has many beneficial features, such as security, support, and stability."
"I believe that because the support is good, they jump in and assist us in determining the root cause."
"It's easy to search and extract data from the warehouse using queries."
"Maintaining databases is a valuable feature for us."
"Multitenant has a container database with many pluggable databases."
"The database becomes pluggable. Inside this container is called a pluggable database and each application contains this pluggable database inside Multitenant. We can then share resources like control files, memory, etc. This lets you stop and start each application without impacting the others. This resource sharing is the most valuable feature"
"It's easy to use and works great."
"The best thing about Oracle Multitenant is its ability to consolidate multiple databases into one engine."
"The most valuable features are the speed and ease of use."
"The feature that I like on Multitenant is the ease - it is very easy for my team to run the database."
"You can scale the solution as needed."
"The technical support can be faster."
"It would be helpful to have a hybrid data storage facility that includes NoSQL technologies."
"When I look at Microsoft SQL Server, SQL Server provides me with better tools for database management."
"The GUI interface is not particularly friendly for those who do not have experience with the product."
"The vendor should offer a free version"
"The licensing fees can be reduced."
"The only drawback that we see in Db2 Database is the crash recovery. When there is a crash and somebody has to do the recovery, Db2 Database first stops, and then it does any crash recovery. In Oracle Database, crash recovery happens within the database. The database is not shut down."
"Do not use support. Freely available documentation is a bit weak."
"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."
"While the product is overall excellent, it is quite expensive."
"This solution is a bit complicated when collecting from containers - that feature should be a bit better."
"It can be complicated to scale up the solution, but it's scalable."
"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."
"Technical support could be faster."
"The solution lacks a GUI for commands."
