Supports a large volume of transactions compared to other databases
We use the solution for data warehousing.  The tool supports a large volume of transactions compared to other databases we've used. One feature that had a significant impact is Oracle Data Integrator. It allows us to transfer data from the enterprise database to the data warehouse. This is useful…

Able to process all the reporting and processing in the database itself
We have been upgrading and moving to new environments. I was involved in the solution's initial setup. Some things in the setup are very smooth sailing. However, some setups become complicated because what they set up doesn't meet your needs. So, some tweaking is necessary in certain instances. Having a good understanding of the tool really helps. Oracle Java DB is easy to deploy if it's a new setup. Migrating from an old environment to a new environment takes time because you need the old functionality. A first-time deployment of the application is easy. We just did a default setup and started using it. When we have to migrate, there is too much baggage behind that application, especially from the security point of view.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Oracle Database is very flexible."
"Partitioning is the most valuable feature."
"Oracle Database is very stable. In terms of stability and performance, Oracle is super. On the database side, Oracle is number one in our tests."
"The dashboard may be the best solution for intelligent data management, as well as business intelligence."
"The features that I have found most valuable are things like cluster setup and RAC One. We are using the main CQN and third party plugin support right now. We are relying on different languages support that we are getting from the Oracle side. It is one of the major areas in which Oracle excels compared to other databases."
"The solution has every security aspect that needs to be there in enterprise software."
"The thing that probably stands out the most about Oracle Database is reliability. I have been working with Oracle Databases for over 25 years, and I have never lost any data due to a machine going down or any events that were not stupid human tricks. I've never lost anybody's data using Oracle. It gets the job done and doesn't fail."
"It is reliable. It's very stable."
"The additional value of having Java inside the Oracle database is all the security that is applied to an Oracle database will be enforced on Java's stored procedures as well."
"It's very clever."
"It has a programming language so anything that we require for Selenium is all available there."
"Able to write queries more efficiently and the management of data has become better and easier."
"The most valuable feature is automation."
"The database is quite robust in terms of performance from the SQL side."
"The solution is stable."
"There have been no issues in relation to stability. We've never really had do to any recoveries. It is very stable."
 

Cons

"The features should be communicated to end users in the proper way."
"In general, the support is not good since most of the time the person whom you are given to is not so professional."
"The setup process can be a bit complex."
"Their migration strategies could be better because most of these companies keep the same version for six or seven years and then update it to the latest version."
"The pricing could be improved."
"Oracle support is helpful, and they resolve all our issues, but sometimes the response to our clients isn't as prompt as we'd like."
"The price of the Oracle Database should be cheaper."
"They could provide ease of migration and competitive pricing for the database."
"The biggest lesson that I have learned from using Oracle products is vendor lock-in."
"In terms of improvement, I'd like an automation tool that is lower priced. The core prices are very high."
"It'll be better if Oracle Java supports open source technologies, like Node.js."
"The solution should continue to keep updating and improving the Java language."
"The solution could be more user-friendly."
"Needs improvement in consistency issues with respect to timeframes."
"The tool might be integrated, but we see performance issues because of overhead."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license is yearly."
"The tool's pricing is high and yearly."
"The licensing is on a monthly basis. Improvement in pricing would be nice."
"The price of Oracle Database is too expensive and especially for individual environments. The pricing model is not clear, if I want to run it on a virtual environment, I still need to license the whole physical box."
"The pricing model could be better."
"The price of Oracle Database could improve, it is expensive and they are paid annually. We are looking for lower pricing and flexible pricing plans, they are very rigid in the price."
"The price of the solution could be reduced."
"Generally, when you buy Oracle Database, and if you're buying it for your own data center on the on-prem side, you have to go by the processor cores and the list price is around $47,500 for the enterprise edition per core."
"Oracle Java DB is a pricey solution."
"The product's pricing is very friendly, with no extra costs after the licensing fees."
