Extremely scalable, quite stable and easy to deploy
We're just a user of the product. We don't have a relationship with Google. We're currently using the latest version. We just request it on the Google environment when we need to use it. At this point, after a year of using the solution, I'd rate it eight out of ten. We still have a lot to learn about it, so it's difficult to really give it full marks or to say we aren't happy with it. Right now, because of where our company is in terms of size and needs, I would say it's better for us to have Bitware.

Easy to integrate and manage the setup phase
One of the things that I want to see in Oracle Berkeley DB is a driver for reactive programming. I think the tool's official driver for reactive programming, especially for Java, is the thing that Oracle needs to be more agile in, specifically in those areas of programming that other products are currently going into. Other tools have become more innovative in many areas. I know that Oracle has many responsibilities in maintaining the situation with the current projects and so on. I think it would be very cool if Oracle could make improvements to its projects, as it can help me with my current projects. One reason why I don't choose Oracle Berkeley DB is because we want to go for reactive programming, along with Project Reactor from Spring, but we don't have the official driver for it.
