Oracle Database as a Service Reviews

Not only does it provide a mature, reliable solution for DR. It also helps if application owners need to look into data which is a couple of hours old, using Flashback Database on the standby database.

Data Guard, because it’s the best solution for Disaster Recovery.

The licensing is a nightmare. Tons of options which need to be licensed individually, and no real offering for VMware or other Hypervisors.

And my favorite option – Multitenant – should be available for some pluggable databases in all editions without any fee.

No stability issues at all.

RAC is not a real scalability solution, so instead of scaling out I prefer to scale up.

Very poor.

I have always used Oracle Database.

Back in the early 90s, set up was difficult. But now, it’s straightforward using the graphical interfaces. But there is indeed room for improvement. An 8GB download for software is far too big. Nowadays it should be possible to simply use RPM packages on Linux/Unix.

There should be a standard way to license the database in a virtual environment (e.g. VMware) and there should be a low-end version (like Standard Edition One) again.

Before starting to look for the high-end solution (Enterprise Edition) you should consider using Standard Edition Two. There is a great chance that it will be sufficient, and gaps can be filled with third-party products like Dbvisit Standby for Distaster Recovery.

Our customers use the solution as a new business tool.

They should add more integration to the solution.

I have been using the solution for 20 years.

I rate the solution's stability as a nine.

It is a scalable solution. I have 100 customers using this solution.

The solution's deployment and maintenance processes require two or three executives.

The solution's price is reasonable, but it depends upon the negotiation.

It is a good solution and has a large community. I recommend it to others and rate it as a nine.

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.

We value the single data run that the solution provides.

The stability of the product can be improved.

We have been using the solution for approximately fifteen years.

The solution is not very stable.

The solution is scalable. Approximately 100 people utilize it in our organization. 

We do not have experience with customer service and support.

The initial setup is straightforward. It's included in our server, and we have a data center with several devices.

I rate the solution a ten out of ten.

We use Oracle Database for web portals and applications.

The most valuable features of Oracle Database as a Service are the power, security, and performance.

Oracle Database as a Service could improve by reducing the price.

We have approximately 1,000 to 2,000 using its solution in my company.

I have not used the support from Oracle Database as a Service because that is a role of my business security.

The initial setup of Oracle Database as a Service is easy and user-friendly. The full deployment took approximately two to three hours.

The price of Oracle Database as a Service is expensive compared to other similar solutions.

We do not need a lot of staff for the maintenance of the solution because we have an expert engineer.

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

Oracle Database as a Service is used for business and financial systems. It's an enterprise business solution.

I have had some incidences in the past months using Oracle Database as a Service and I used the support. The support escalation was in a timely fashion.

Oracle Database as a Service is difficult to set up. They should make it easier.

I recommend Database as a Service to others over other similar solutions, such as Microsoft Dynamics or SAP.

I recommend this solution to others.

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

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. Oracle has built expertise in database solutions for the last 35 years, and now they are offering this in a cloud service

We use the solution to manage applications like Office. 

The solution is fast and easy. 

The tool needs to improve its pricing and stability. 

I have been using the product for two years. 

I would rate the product's stability a seven out of ten. We had faced an issue with the Oracle system. 

The solution is scalable. My company has twenty users for the product. 

The tool's setup is easy. 

Our local partner helped us to configure the database. 

The solution is worth its money. 

The tool's licensing is on an yearly basis. 

I would rate the solution a seven out of ten.
