Oracle Database as a Service Reviews

Oracle Database as a Service serves as an operational and mission critical system. Oracle Database as a Service works very well for our company and can be termed one of the world's best databases.

The most valuable features of the solution are processing, indexing, monitoring, scalability, network, performance of the clustering, clusters, and availability.

Oracle Database as a Service is a tool that serves as a benchmark when compared to other databases in the market, so I can't find any shortcomings where improvements are required.

The price of the solution is an area of concern. From an improvement perspective, the price of the solution should be lowered.

I have been using Oracle Database as a Service for thirteen or fourteen years. I use the solution's latest version, which is Oracle Database 19c.

Oracle Database as a Service serves as a benchmark for other solutions in the market when it comes to the stability part. It is one of the best solutions in all aspects, like compatibility, performance, scalability, capabilities, and as a backup solution.

There are many users of Oracle Database.

My company can plan to increase the number of users since it is a scalable product. You just need to increase from a single or one node cluster to support more users.

I have experience with SQL Server. My company switched from SQL Server to Oracle Database as a Service since we found the latter to be one of the best products in the market.

Oracle Database as a Service's initial setup phase has become easier compared to its complex nature ten years ago. Oracle Database as a Service has become easy to operate even when it comes to the advanced installation part.

Considering that all the prerequisite requirements are met, Oracle Database as a Service's deployment phase can be completed in a day.

For the deployment phase, you need to get involved in some hardware provisioning, after which you need to see to it that all the prerequisites for the deployment process are met before choosing to install Oracle Database as a Service, and you can create your database.

My company did not see any help from any consultants for the deployment phase of Oracle Database as a Service.

Oracle Database as a Service is an expensive product.

Oracle Database as a Service is a well-integrated tool with other products.

If you want an operational database and support for a mission critical system, then Oracle Database as a Service is your best product. I won't recommend small or mid-sized companies to go with Oracle Database as a Service. For a smaller database, I suggest SQL Server.

I rate the overall tool a ten out of ten.

Regarding the most effective part of the tool for data security, I would say that our database is on Azure. We mostly look at Azure's security tools, such as a network security group.

I think the tool's support team generally just addresses issues, and they probably don't look at they probably don't look at the popularity of any issue. The support provides help based on the same size fits all kinds of approaches, making it an area where improvements are needed.

If you don't give us the best stuff probably we have many other options. Maybe the tool can reduce its cost or provide some other solutions.

If you are in IT, then you will need to use coding, and it is an area that can be made simpler.

I have been using Oracle Database as a Service for four years. I use the solution in my company. I am a customer of the tool.

I don't really feel it is a scalable solution. If you want to expand the tool's capacity, you have to be ready to pay money.

We contact the solution's technical support if we have any issues. I rate the technical support a seven out of ten.

I have worked with MySQL. When I started my role in my company, I saw that we, as a business, prefer Oracle. For now, we use Oracle, but we are open to using other tools.

The product's implementation was pretty straightforward.

With SQL, if you add everything up, you get ROI. Independently, if you use it as a database code platform, I think it offers ROI.

The pricing of the tool depends on the organization. If your organization is not making that much money, then I don't think you should use the enterprise or any other expensive versions of the solution. I recommend the tool for bigger companies.

I am satisfied with the tool.

In terms of cost savings or operational efficiency, the tool serves as a database code tool while also being a database.

Oracle Database as a Service enhances our data analytics with AI capabilities, as we actually plug APIs to be able to generate responses for AI platforms that we have. So far, we have no complaints.

In terms of AI-driven data management improvements or specific analytics tasks, we do a little bit of chatbot, but it is probably not done at a full scale. However, we do have AI-driven platforms.

The product is promoted and well-known in our region.

I think it is easy for people to figure out how to use the tool.

I rate the tool an eight out of ten.

We use the platform as a relational database management system.

Improvement in Oracle DBaaS could focus on enhancing performance monitoring and reporting tools. A more streamlined utility tool would be beneficial, reducing the need for manual intervention in addressing potential slow activities on the database. It could be able to notify the management team quickly.

We have been using Oracle Database as a Service for nine years.

I rate the platform’s stability a nine out of ten.

We use the platform daily. I rate the scalability an eight out of ten.

The technical support team could work faster.

Previously, we utilized Oracle on-premises solutions for our database needs. We switched to SQL Server for specific business requirements. However, more recently, we transitioned to Oracle Database as a Service (DBaaS), a shift influenced by a reassessment of our evolving business needs.

The initial setup takes a few hours to complete. It requires two executives to work on deployment and one executive to maintain the product. I rate the process an eight out of ten.

We implemented the service with the help of our in-house team.

It is an expensive product. I rate the pricing an eight out of ten.

We use the product for data warehousing or business analytics for software applications, including Enterprise Transactional Systems (ETT).

It has significantly enhanced our application development process by introducing substantial time savings and streamlining routine tasks. When considering an upgrade, the process is simplified, eliminating the need for meticulous checks of backups. Instead, developers can efficiently review the latest updates, choose a suitable upgrade window for their business, and with a few clicks during a designated maintenance window, initiate the process.

For data security, the most beneficial features are validation and verification processes conducted by the service provider before the release of any patches on the official page. The stringent process instills confidence in the reliability of the service, especially in preventing potential security breaches or risks. Oracle service's technical team keeps the clients informed regarding any identified threats and actions to protect the data. It reduces the manual workload for database administrators, allowing them to focus on efficiently implementing patches during designated management windows.

The scalability has made the operations easier than traditional methods. When expanding our product or adjusting resources, we no longer need to perform intricate operations at the operating system or hardware level. Instead, it automatically spins or reallocates storage within the service. The process takes about an hour and a half, ensuring optimized storage to meet the growing needs of our expanding datasets.

The feature of automatic incremental backup has been beneficial to business continuity planning. It ensures that all backup activities are seamlessly managed without requiring any major involvement from the database administrators. It eliminates the need for manual scripting or the setup of intricate backup scenarios. As a result, the maintenance time gets reduced as well. The integration with other systems has medium complexity.

I rate the product an eight out of ten.

We use the tool to store data.

All our payment engines run on databases which are the heart of our entire ecosystem.

I like the tool’s database services. I like the system’s performance, replication, active data, etc. which are all good.

The solution provides the same type of RDBMS engine for all use cases. They need to provide different products that will be suitable for all use cases. The solution does not support the documentation of databases.

I have been using the solution for the past 15 years. We plan to migrate to licensing. We are now at 11g and plan to migrate to 19c.

I would rate the solution a ten out of ten. It is a wonderful database engine.

In general, it's for our billing systems and for customers and customer service.

We have the ability to build several solutions to according to the requirements of our users.

It is easy to set up.

The solution scales well.

It is stable and reliable. 

Performance always is an important issue. The product must improve its performance.

We have a corporate license. I'm just using it. I don't have the details in terms of exact cost.

I'm just a customer. 

I use the on-premises and the as-a-service versions. 

I'd advise those considering the solution to first be careful to design it before beginning. 

I'd rate the product ten out of ten overall. 

As a service provider I implemented the on-premises solution with logic and KBM for thirty customers in Columbia. 

I am now migrating customers from on-premises to the solution's PaaS cloud. We use data for a TMR that is like a SaaP and connects with the cloud. 

Our certifications in Oracle Database are good because we don't have many certified resources in Columbia. Oracle helps with credits for savings on customer implementations and has a nice partner ecosystem. 

The solution's scalability and flexibility are very good and implementation is easy. 

The solution needs more certifications for other products and applications because migration to the cloud is difficult without them.

The solution currently uses GoldenGate for disaster recovery plans and I'd like the option for a different database such as SQL Server, MySQL, or MariaDB. 

I have been using the solution for four years. 

The solution is very stable. 

The solution is scalable. 

It is sometimes hard to communicate with support due to language barriers and I would appreciate multilingual technical support. I rate support a nine out of ten.

The setup is easy for our engineers.

Our company has three engineers and fifty users who handle implementations. 

For on-premises, a perpetual license is a standard $17,500 plus 22% for one year of support. 

The solution is the most secure database in the world. I rate the solution a nine out of ten. 

We are using Oracle Database as a Service for a banking system we are making that requires a good database with high performance and very high capacity. This solution is providing all of these features for us. Additionally, we are using another Oracle tool for development, called Oracle ADS, which is very compatible with the Oracle Database as a Service.
