Oracle Database as a Service Reviews

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.

I have mostly used Oracle Database as a Service in the banks I have worked with.

I like the solution's performance and ease of development.

Nowadays, scaling is very easy with AWS, Postgres, or MySQL solutions. Also, AWS takes care of a few things. However, we need to do everything manually in Oracle. It would be better if we could have a little bit of automation or a chance for autoscaling with Oracle Database as a Service.

I have been working with Oracle Database as a Service for almost 15 to 20 years.

Oracle Database as a Service is a very stable solution.

In my previous organizations, we had thousands of developers for Oracle Database as a Service.

The solution's technical support is good.

Positive

Other than Oracle Database as a Service, I have worked with Microsoft and SAP. Oracle Database as a Service is better than other solutions because it is easy to work with, and we can use many tools to work with it.

I would definitely recommend Oracle Database as a Service to users looking for performance or ease of tool handling and database handling.

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

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

Our clients have a variety of use cases for this solution. It can be used at gas stations and supermarkets. 

Clients come to us with huge on-prem databases. Because of the size of the databases, it can be difficult to grow to cloud. Thanks to Oracle Database as a Service, we can help these clients migrate quickly. 

Oracle solutions give our clients visibility.

No company is perfect, but Oracle does need to improve their support. They need to really focus on the customer experience, et cetera. 

I would also like to see them improve the Oracle Database Interface for distributor businesses.

I have a year of experience with Oracle Database as a Service. 

My impression of the stability of this solution is also very high.

My impression of the scalability of Oracle Database as a Service is very high.

I think that Oracle's technical support could improve. When they understand what the problem is, they are fast and solve it quickly, but it is difficult to get to that point with them. Sometimes communication is strained by the fact that we're always talking to different tech support specialists. Maybe the solution would be a sort of segmentation of their tech support team by departments. They do have some good people, but it takes some time to find them because you have to go through their call center. 

The initial setup is complex. This is not a really easy solution. It is very large, so it's hard to install, but it's not impossible.

For our clients, Microsoft is an alternative. Microsoft is cheaper, faster and has better support than Oracle.

• Resource elasticity
• Rapid provisioning
• Automated centralized management of all DBs
• Measured services, etc.

• Technically, apart from the cost reduction, it reduces the administration overheads.
• Scale-up and scale-down resources, as per the demand to ensure the major business, do not impact performance issues.

• Reduce the licensing cost further.
• Stronger security

Over one year now.

Challenges faced when migrating the on-premise database to cloud, especially VLDBs.

Mostly with the internet availability and speed. Nothing really with the stability of the DBaaS.

Not anything we have come across.

Satisfactory.

Satisfactory.

Most of the DEV/UAT/TEST were on-premises, which moved to the cloud with consolidation.

There were technical challenges configuring the connectivity, moving the data, etc.

Installation was through a vendor.

Reduced the number of traditional storage/server architecture. More productivity and quick provisioning of the database helped moving the application to production quickly.

Oracle licensing is expensive compared to other competitors, such as AWS and MS Azure.

Yes. AWS and MS Azure.

Any DEV/UAT/TEST environments are really candidates to go for cloud and ensure you fully utilize the flexibility of cloud technologies.
