Ajeet-Sachan - PeerSpot reviewer
Self-maintenance features reduce downtime and improve efficiency but enterprise edition limits can be restrictive
The availability of different editions within Oracle Database Cloud Service could be improved. The model divides their standard edition versus enterprise editions into two categories and limits the standard edition on a particular configuration set. This limitation, such as the thirty-two vCPU limit, should be removed. Another area for improvement is the affordability of the enterprise version.
François Dernoncourt - PeerSpot reviewer
Databases are automatically upgraded and cloning of pluggable databases requires just one command
Multitenant has a container database with many pluggable databases. A great feature is that you can upgrade the container to a more recent version and all the pluggable databases are automatically upgraded to that version. Previously it would have required an upgrade for each database. The second great feature is the clone which enables you to get the clone of pluggable databases with one command, as opposed to copying data from one place to another.

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Every year we are increasing the price of the solution. There is hardware licensing available. We pay approximately $20,000 monthly to use the solution."
"I think the program is rather expensive, so I would like to see it becoming more affordable."
"The tool is not cheap."
"The product has reasonable pricing. I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."
"Price is always higher for all Oracle products."
"Pricing for Oracle Database Cloud Service could be more competitive. Lately, pricing for it has been increasing, so my company may have to review different options to find a solution with competitive pricing. From what I know, there's no additional cost apart from the standard licensing fees for Oracle Database Cloud Service."
"For me, I will go with it if I have the budget. Some features are nicer than before, but at the end of the day, you always have a limited budget. I prefer to upgrade and get a specific hardware when possible. At the end, you will have to make a compromise. You will not get everything you would have liked to have."
"The price is worth the quality."
"This solution is a little bit pricey."
