Prior to using Oracle Database as a Service, we were using MySequence. We chose to switch solutions due to the cost.

The solution is very stable. 

I haven't had many opportunities to work with the scalability features. I don't have much experience in this area.

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 this solution for multiple databases.

I have written Oracle scripts for operational databases and uploading databases.

Our environment includes a Red Hat server with two storage devices for high availability. 

I have been able to assist people with technical support remotely.

This solution is very stable, easy to use, and scales quickly. When we want more information on something that we are using, it is easy to find related topics on the internet.

We use the automated system for creating tables.

The security system is very good.

When we troubleshoot, there are many tools that we need to use. One example is having to look at the system logs. The troubleshooting process should be improved so that we can resolve errors faster. 

Oracle demands a lot of memory and you need to have a strong machine.

In the next release, I would like to see a framework for memory management.

Oracle databases are stable. It is a very dependable application.

Oracle has many strong features and tools. There are many options and possibilities.

Technical support for this solution is good.

I have used MySQL and Microsoft SQL Server, and there is no comparison to Oracle. 

I simply followed the instructions on the Oracle website.

The deployment took several months because we have a complex architecture with six thousand servers.

I don't use the management features because I don't work with the GUI. I prefer to use the command line.

Oracle is a very good solution that I would recommend. It is strong software with good support and documentation available.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

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.

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.
