Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse Reviews

I'm a research analyst and we are customers of Oracle. 

The integration feature is very good because you can automate protection security automatically, restricting the access of unauthorized people. It can also maintain security in terms of service failure, service protection, and the duration of the disruption. 

Oracle should increase visibility options because what's available now is limited. Experienced users are easily able to understand everything, but from a layman's perspective, it's confusing and can be difficult to understand the steps required. In that sense, the solution requires an upgrade. I recently worked with the machine learning model offered by Oracle and could only find the visualization, without other options. There should be additional 3D, and 4D representations as well as other options that competitors such as Azure are offering for machine learning models. Azure offers its own machine learning studio, so Oracle should do the same, not only for machine learning but for all the database services.

I've been using this solution for about four months. 

The solution is generally stable. 

The scalability is very good. 

The technical support is very good because we initially had a few challenges that we were unable to solve, and the support team was able to solve them quickly.

The configuration in our company took a few weeks and we implemented it in-house. We deployed the solution with the help of Oracle Autonomous Database. I would suggest that any company still relying on an on-premises environment should migrate towards a cloud service provider, whether it's Microsoft, Oracle, or Azure. We have around eight to 10 users. 

Licensing costs are paid on an annual basis and are reasonable although I'd like to see technical support included in the license fee. 

I rate this solution eight out of 10. 

Our primary use case of this solution is as a data management system for analytics.

I really like the auto-tuning, auto-scaling, automatic load balancing, and query tuning in the system.

The solution is very stable.

The technical support is quick to answer but sometimes it takes too long to get a competent person on the line.

If you are familiar with Oracle products, the initial setup is easy and straightforward. The deployment took only a few hours because it is on the cloud.

Other options out there are Microsoft Azure Data Warehouse and AWS Redshift. Anyone who has to deal with analytics, to get the processes, marketing processes, and financial processes working, should consider a data warehouse solution because a data warehouse solution is always the underlying infrastructure for good analytics.

I would like to see an on-premise solution in the future. There are other very good solutions in the market, so if I would rate it a ten, it would be the best in the market. I, therefore, rate this solution an eight out of ten.
