Oracle Database as a Service Reviews

We primarily are using the solution for clients who want to migrate their applications. We have an on-premises version for testing to see how that would work.

The most valuable aspects of the solution are the general database system resilience and security.

The improvements we require are mostly regarding the documentation and compatibility with other systems or with other non-Oracle technologies. 

Documentation is difficult to find. Since we're experienced with Oracle technology, we have also found many errors in it. Not everything is 100% accurate.

The solution should add functionalities, like database system functions, to speed up the query processing type. Any sort of functions or commands that would give you a faster result would be a welcome improvement. Microsoft Azure, for example, has some building functionalities to fetch big chunks of data and in a very fast way. I haven't seen a similar feature from Oracle. 

Technical support is not very good. Oracle's attitude toward customers, with increasing prices and a general lack of recognition of other technologies, is not ideal.

The level of difficulty in the initial setup varies. Sometimes it's very straightforward, but sometimes it is not. 60% of the time it's pretty straightforward.

Sometimes, for example, we might have previously installed the database in the same environment and there were some dependencies left which damaged the next installation because it was not a fresh install. If you want to uninstall the database, the cleaning of the database and everything associated with it gets a bit tricky. There is no automated process for that.

Deployment is quite fast. You can probably manage a deployment in an hour or less.

We're an integrator. We implement the solution for our clients.

We use the on-premises deployment model. We're currently experimenting with Oracle at the moment.

Currently, customers are looking for and experimenting with various databases. The clients that I've talked to have asked about MySQL or Amazon Aurora Database as well Microsoft Secret Server.

In terms of Oracle, what I've heard from some clients was that the cloud database was a disappointment for them compared to the on-premise database. Some of them were regretful about doing that sort of migration. They told me they were over-promised, and the cloud database didn't deliver. The on-premise databases are quite solid, however. They are very good.

I'd rate the solution seven out of ten. 

I'm personally not happy with Oracle, but from a technical standpoint, they have a very solid product.

The primary use case for this solution for the clients I have been working with is building applications and storing their data in the database. My other use case is helping companies set up data guards for high availability.

Oracle has helped our organization by being a reliable solution that is stable with zero crashes. The differentiation between Oracle's database and other databases is that Oracle needs more attention. It's not a click here, click there solution, it needs more time put in, but once you do that, it's ready to go and you can forget about it.

The most valuable feature is the solution's ability to seamless transform a primary into a standby database. When setting up failover where you have an active and a standby database and production goes down, you don't know if there are any issues. So, a seamless switch over to the standby is valuable because you can work on the production that has gone down to fix the problem.

The area in this solution that could be improved is that currently, it's difficult to do the setup. You need to do all kinds of command lines to get it set up. If that setup becomes easier and easily manageable, that would be great.

In the next release, I'd like to see a simpler connection between Oracle and other databases like SQL, MySQL, or a DB tool. I'd also like to see a simpler way to pull data from those external databases. This would add value to Oracle in my opinion.

I have been using Oracle Database as a Service since 2007. That adds up to around 16 years. I started using Oracle when it was Oracle version 10.

The cost of licensing for this solution is quite high. 

When it comes to other people looking into this solution, I would advise double-checking the pricing as it's quite high for Oracle. Other than that, go for it.

Overall, I would rate this solution a 10, on a scale from one to 10, with one being the worst and 10 being the best.

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.

The scalability and high availability are the most valuable features of Oracle DaaS. 

Earlier, the interface was continuously changing. Features you used would be moved somewhere else, so it was a little challenging to navigate, but now I think it's stable. 

I've been using Oracle for six or seven years. 

Oracle DaaS is highly stable.

Oracle DaaS is scalable.

We created a curriculum from Oracle University to train our staff, so we don't need much support. 

Setting up Oracle DaaS wasn't difficult. Most of the stuff was there. You only need to enter the name of the database, and that's it. However, you need a little more information to set up an on-prem database. One person can set up Oracle DaaS.

I rate Oracle Database as a Service nine out of 10. It's easy to implement and use. Disaster recovery is easy. Oracle has availability domains in different regions, so you will never lose your data.
