Good multi-platform SQL compatibility, as well as performance and data integrity

Whilst our server up-time is in the > 99%, we still have to reboot the DBMS periodically to allow us to archive the log file. The ability to reset the log file without stopping the DBMS would be helpful for us. We have created our own error management/reporting process within our database procedures. Unfortunately, if there is a database error, such as a duplicate key, the default action is to abort. This means that our information is generally lost. An option to not abort on failure would be great. Of course, this only really occurs in testing.

Offers built-in utilities and tools that simplify management

Oracle often releases updated versions of Database Appliance with improvements. However, I think Oracle should focus on further automating database management and IT-related tasks, such as backups. They've made progress with daily database stat automation, which is a good feature. Moreover, every product benefits from new functionality over time. I would like to see a centralized terminal where we can easily manage the database and its components with drag-and-drop functionality instead of relying solely on commands. So, I would like to see a centralized dashboard. Other areas of improvement include customer service and support, and scalability.

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"Oracle Database Application's support and maintenance are included in the contract."

"The price should be lower."

"In regards to licensing, it is cheaper to maintain for Oracle applications, and it's an all-in-one solution."

"Oracle Database Appliance is a very expensive solution. If you have opted for the on-premises licenses from Oracle, then you have to pay yearly. If you have opted for the cloud subscriptions offered by Oracle, then you can pay either monthly or yearly."

"You must pay for the license."

"The product is costly."

"The solution may be expensive, but when we consider the problems it solves, the stability it provides, and the fact that we don't have to buy separate parts and assemble them into a system, it becomes more affordable."

"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing seven and a half or eight out of ten."
