Oracle Database as a Service Reviews

Our organization works in the gambling domain and we have gambling software. We use Oracle Database as a Service for our customers. The solution incorporates the user transaction database of our business.

I would like the tool to improve the setup because it is complex.

We have been working with the solution for more than ten years.

The performance stability of the solution works fine. The solution is stable.

The tool is scalable. We have more than 100,000 customers using the solution.

The support is good but I would like to improve their time period.

The setup of the solution is complex. However, we get support in case of any problems.

We needed help to deploy the solution.

I have found that the solution serves the money.

I will rate this solution a nine out of ten. We have been using this solution for the past ten years. We will continue the partnership. I do not expect to see any further integration of the tool with our software. I will recommend this tool to those with a large database.

I use the solution to store data.

Oracle is the best database in the world. Everything about it is great.

The product is very expensive.

I have been using the solution for 27 years.

The solution is very stable.

The solution is very scalable. We have three distributed systems. At each site, more than 100 people use the solution.

We contact support for partitioning and indexing.

Installing DB as a service is very straightforward. If we have to install it on-premise, we need a DPA.

It doesn't take long to deploy the solution. The time taken for deployment depends upon the location of deployment. If it is a remote area, it can take a few hours. On a local site, it can be done very quickly.

We deployed the solution in-house. The deployment process starts with installation and choosing your language and other settings. If we are working on development, we can create the tables. However, if we deploy for live testing, we export and import without the data.

We have seen an ROI on the solution.

The pricing depends on the operating systems and VMs we use.

I am using the latest version of the solution. I will recommend the solution to others. We have deployed the solution in Louisiana, Syria, and all over Africa. Overall, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.

Oracle's Database as a Service has the potential to support both artificial intelligence and machine learning, but it seems that its capabilities in these areas have yet to be fully developed.

Security is a critical aspect for us, as well as the process of patching and updating the system. 

The availability of the system is ensured by running it on two on-premise servers, which are identical and located separately.

The most valuable aspect of the solution is its security, performance, and availability.

There is room for improvement in the speed of the data migration process.

I have been working with Oracle Database as a Service for a few years.

I would rate the stability a nine out of ten.

Oracle Database as a Service is highly scalable.

We have eight users who use the solution for project management, which we deploy for our clients. However, this is not the primary function of our own work. As an example, one of our clients has 50 users running a similar deployment.

In addition to our own usage, the solution is also used by the company we have contracted for core banking. 

We purchase the solution from them and they take care of its deployment and management. Therefore, we are not directly involved in the deployment process. 

While we initially went with Oracle, our clients are now the ones who are involved in the deployment process for the core banking solution.

I have only contacted technical support through proxy.

Previously, we were working with MySQL.

The initial setup is generally considered straightforward, although there may be some challenges, particularly when new team members are introduced. However, once the team becomes familiar with the solution, the setup process becomes easier and more streamlined, even when working remotely.

Deploying the solution is generally considered to be easy, with the only major challenge being the migration of data from another database to this one. 

The data migration process can be complex and time-consuming.

To deploy the solution, it is important to have the correct hardware specifications in place. Once these specifications have been met, and the necessary hardware is available, the deployment process can begin.

Once the database has been installed and configured, the system should be up and running.

What has been done is that an annual subscription model has been launched, which includes the payment of both the AML (Annual Maintenance Fee) and the subscription fee, paid on a yearly basis.

I have evaluated both SQL and MySQL, and I have found that MySQL lacks the interactivity and capacity compared to SQL.

Oracle is typically chosen when a highly robust and reliable system is required.

I would recommend this solution to other users.

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

I don't have a lot of experience just yet. I'm still learning the product. It's an ERP solution that we are providing. It's a very powerful database. 

The solution is very stable. It's very powerful. 

The solution can scale. You can use it with just a few or hundreds of users.

We have found the product to be very adaptable. 

It isn't too hard to set up. 

I'm a rookie at the moment. I still need to learn the solution. It's hard to discuss what is needed when you are still learning. 

For many companies, the standard version is not enough. They need to move to the enterprise version. However, there is a large price jump between the two. 

A company needs to have skilled people on its team in order to really take advantage of the solution. 

I'm not sure about the ADF lifecycle. 

I've used the solution for three months. 

The solution is stable. It is in production and is working well. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. 

It's a scalable solution. It is easy to expand. 

We're using the solution with more than 50 customers. 

At the moment, I've had no direct contact with Oracle. I'm not fully operating in the product just yet. 

If a customer requires a solution, we go with that solution. therefore, we use a variety of products. 

For example, we've also used WebLogic, which is a bit simpler and easier to handle.

The initial setup is pretty straightforward. You just download the installation and go.

Since we work with a variety of clients, we use different clouds. 

I'm not sure how long ht redeployment took. I did not directly handle deployment tasks. 

The enterprise version can get quite expensive.

The bigger the customer, the more resources the customer requires, which can add to the cost. 

We've had a customer that has spent around 40,000 Euros for a database. 

Oracle is a very powerful product. It's not a toy. Therefore, if a company wants to use it, it must have qualified people on board to manage it. It also requires some amount of memory or CPU. You need to have the space for it and a backup, et cetera. However, it's very useful, and it's a very professional database.

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.  For our customers, it's the best solution we can provide. 

What I found most valuable about Oracle Database as a Service is its fast transactions and materialized views.

Oracle Database as a Service is a good product but costly. The licensing costs for it should be reduced because it's expensive. The license fee for Oracle Database is more costly than my product license.

We have used Oracle Database as a Service for more than twenty years.

Oracle Database as a Service takes work to scale.

Oracle support could be better, so I'm giving it six out of ten. There was a new release, and my team requested the patch, but it took the Oracle team a long time to address the request.

Neutral

Setting up Oracle Database as a Service requires a lot of manual work, so setup-wise, it's a six out of ten.

Deploying the product takes twenty-four hours.

Pricing for Oracle Database as a Service is expensive.

My company has more than five thousand clients on Oracle Database as a Service, but it could now be less than that because of the price issue.

Thirty people maintain, monitor, and do ad hoc testing and recovery backup for Oracle Database as a Service.

If a client currently uses Oracle Database as a Service, I suggest keeping it. However, scaling it is challenging, and its pricing is costly.

In the past, Oracle Database as a Service was a nine out of ten. Nowadays, it's a five out of ten.

My company is an Oracle customer.

The primary use case of this solution is to manage enterprise customer data.

The most valuable features are the free tools provided to make the solution more secure.

The solution can be improved by reducing the pricing, making the deployment less complex, and increasing security.

I have been using the solution for three years.

The solution is stable.

The solution is scalable.

The tech support is responsive and helps get the issues resolved swiftly. 

Positive

Previously to using this solution I used Microsoft SQS and switched over based on suggestions from the employees.

The initial setup is moderate to complex.

The implementation was completed through a vendor.

The solution is based on an annual fee.

I give the solution a nine out of ten.

We have around seven people using the solution in our organization.

The solution is expensive but I do recommend it to others.

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.

I've been using the solution for five years. 

The stability has been great. We don't have bugs or glitches. It is reliable. It doesn't crash or freeze.

Of course, we could always use better performance. 

So far, we have found the solution to be scalable.

We have 1,000 people directly and 50,000 people indirectly using the solution. 

Technical so far has been pretty good. 

The solution has a straightforward setup. It is not complex or difficult. 

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. 

Our primary use case for this Oracle solution is as the repository for applications developed in-house. I'm a software and integration architect and we are customers of Oracle. 

I like that the solution is easy to onboard. There's no database on-premise that requires installation from scratch. Without the serverless option, installation is a very complicated process. It requires hardware as well as DBAs, operating system, and network administrators. With Database as a Service, you can be up and running the same day.

Although we do not need to set up our own indexes, because the solution internally improves the queries, when we migrate to a different instance, the internal machine learning is lost. The solution doesn't provide an option for migrating the index optimization to another instance.

I've been using this service for nearly three years.

The solution is stable. 

I believe it is scalable although we haven't had the opportunity to do that yet. 

We have the Oracle Support Subscription and they have been helpful. We also have Advanced Customer Services from Oracle.

We have set up the solution numerous times and it has been very easy.

I recommend this solution and rate it nine out of 10.
