Oracle Database as a Service Reviews

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.

Neutral

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.

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.

I work in the data cloud, mostly with big data machines.

The stability is quite good.

It's a scalable product.

We found the setup for the cloud to be quite straightforward.

Technical support is great.

It's one of the best databases. It has a lot of features, which makes it easy to manage, easy to run, and offers the best performance. Everything is there. It's good to use.

In such a heavy product, there's always some level of improvement needed. 

On the cloud services, they need to improve some console-level items, including the logging of the databases on the console level.

I've been using the solution for 12 years. 

The solution is stable. The performance is good. It's reliable. There are no bugs or glitches, and it doesn't crash or freeze. 

It scales quite nicely as necessary.

We have multiple customers using the solution. We have 20 people on our end handling admin duties. We have thousands of people using it as customers.

Positive

The solution is easy to set up if you're talking about the cloud. It's always very straightforward. It's not complex or difficult. 

I'd rate the ease of implementation 4.5 out of five. 

The cost of the solution varies. It depends on which features you plan to use, for example, or which specific solution.

I'd rate the price a three out of five in terms of affordability.

If you are a developer or you have developers to develop items in Oracle, then you should go with Oracle. If not, then definitely go for something else. Oracle is very vast and the performance is good, however, you need some knowledge. 

Potential new users should take some time to compare other databases together. 

I'd rate the solution nine 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 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.

The most valuable feature of Oracle Database as a Service is the object types. The object types are not available in other databases, such as SQL and Postgres. Additionally, the security is very good.

The price of Oracle Database as a Service could be better.

I have been using Oracle Database as a Service for approximately 15 years.

Oracle Database as a Service is stable.

The scalability of Oracle Database as a Service is good.

We have more than 50 people in my company using this solution.

We have rarely used the support. However, whenever we have any issue, we can search it through the Oracle site and find a solution.

I'm working on Postgres and Advanced Postgres and we have some products on it, but I found that the performance is not the same as Oracle Database as a Service.

The initial setup of Oracle Database as a Service is straightforward.

We did the implementation of Oracle Database as a Service with our in-house team of four people. One for the application, one for the database, and two for DevOps.

I do not know firsthand about the price of Oracle Database as a Service, but it is known that Oracle solutions tend to be priced higher than competitors.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Oracle Database as a Service a nine out of ten.

We use Oracle Database as a Service for data warehouse and OLTP systems.

Oracle Database as a Service is one of the best databases. As a database administrator, it has a lot of features to help you manage the database and the backup. It's a very good product.

The solution’s pricing could be improved.

I have been using Oracle Database as a Service for 10 years.

I rate Oracle Database as a Service ten out of ten for stability.

The solution's on-premises scalability should be improved. Around 100 users, including analysts, database administrators, and developers, use the solution in our organization.

I rate Oracle Database as a Service an eight out of ten for scalability.

Oracle Database as a Service has a good and fast technical support team.

The initial setup of Oracle Database as a Service is easy.

Oracle Database as a Service is easy to deploy, and we deployed it through an in-house team.

Although Oracle Database as a Service is expensive, it is worth its cost, and we have seen a return on investment.

Oracle Database as a Service has a yearly licensing fee, which is expensive.

One or two people are enough to manage the solution. The development depends on how many applications you need to build.

Overall, I rate Oracle Database as a Service a nine out of ten.

We primarily use the on-premises version as our country does not allow the use of the cloud. We primarily use the solution as a database. 

We like the fact that it is very reliable. It's also very available. It's easy to find Oracle resources in our part of the world, and it's easy to replicate over other data centers. 

The functionality is good. It's flexible and easy to adjust. 

It is very reliable. 

The partitioning has been very useful. We like that we can do replication and indexing. 

The solution is stable.

It can scale, however, the cloud deployment would scale more easily. 

The solution is very expensive. 

We'd like to see better support for non-structured data and in-memory load. That would help with applications we need to cache. 

I've been using the solution for over ten years now. I've used it since about 2006 or 2008.

The solution is stable. I'd rate it nine out of ten. It is reliable, and the performance is good. It doesn't crash or freeze. 

The solution is scalable. I'd rate it six out of ten. On-premises is less scalable than the cloud. 

Technical support could be better. They should have more publicly available assistance instead of having a subscription. 

Neutral

We do use a bit of PostgreSQL. 

The initial setup was complex. I'd rate the ease of setup three out of ten. You need to understand the file system, and you need to understand Oracle very well before setup. It's not like Microsoft, where there is a setup Wizard to guide you. You need very specific knowledge. 

The setup might take a day or two in terms of deployment. However, you need to put in the tables and build the applications on top of that, and that part can take several months. 

We handled the setup in-house. 

I'd rate the pricing one out of ten. It is way too expensive. We do need to pay extra for other modules, for example, for partitioning and compression. You can also pay extra for assistance. It's already too much, and then they make you pay even more. 

We did look at SQL and MongoDB since starting with the solutions. However, we did not look at anything before choosing Oracle. 

We're customers and end-users. 

We have been using Oracle ERP for some time and are moving from on-premises to the cloud. 

I'd advise users to pay attention to licensing as it can get very, very expensive. Definitely look into other databases. 

I would rate the solution seven out of ten as it is the market leader and is very stable.
