Oracle Database Reviews

We are running Oracle databases in Oracle Exadata.

Oracle Database is very stable. In terms of stability and performance, Oracle is super. On the database side, Oracle is number one in our tests.

The price could be better. Oracle Database could also be easier to scale. 

We have been using Oracle Database for quite a long time, and probably since 2002. 

Oracle Database is very stable. 

Oracle Database could be easier to scale. As Exadata is not easily scalable, Oracle Database is also not easy to scale. We have over 10,000 applications running on Oracle Database.

We use a local Oracle company for support, and they help us whenever someone has an issue.

We have done a lot of Oracle Database installations, and we are pretty familiar with it. So, it's easy for us.

The Oracle license is quite expensive, and we pay on a yearly basis.

I would recommend Oracle Database to new users if they can afford the price.

On a scale from one to ten, I would give Oracle Database a ten.

Our primary use case is for managing our ERP solutions. We use SAP as well. Oracle Database is deployed on-prem. 

One of the most valuable features is the stability. 

Oracle Database could be improved by adding more automation. 

I have been using Oracle Database for around 15 years. 

This solution is very, very, very stable. 

We didn't use another solution before Oracle. At that time, I think most of the applications that we were using weren't running on a database.

The installation is very straightforward. I have no complaints. We did it ourselves and it didn't take much time. I think we've done it three times and you can install it in a day or two. We've also done upgrades along the way. 

We implemented through an in-house team. 

We pay for a yearly licensing subscription. Funds permitting, we have plans to increase usage for Oracle Database in the new year. 

I rate Oracle Database a 10 out of 10. I would definitely recommend this solution to others. 

We use the product as a hotel solution, a hotel PMS program.

Support is not available when one encounters problems. The database has performance parameters.

It would be nice to be able to switch cluster features for creating multiple databases towards business continuity.

Installation of SQL Server is comparatively much easier than that of Oracle Database. 

I have been using Oracle Database in excess of ten or fifteen years. 

Support is not easily obtainable when one encounters issues. 

There is no comparable difference SQL Server's usage and that of Oracle Database. They are both reliable databases. Owing to program decisions, certain products make use of Azure SQL and others Oracle. 

SQL Server has a considerably easier installation than Oracle Database. 

I give both Oracle Database and SQL Server a rating of nine out of ten. 

SQL Server's installation is considerably easier than that of Oracle Database. 

Both SQL Server and Oracle Database are deployed as private clouds. 

I rate Oracle Database as a nine out of ten. 

We use the Oracle Database for our CRM and transportation management.

The features that I have found most valuable are its cloud and API features.

Their support and price could both be improved.

In future releases I would like to see it more administrable on cloud.

I have been using Oracle Database for 14 years.

It is a stable product.

Oracle Database is scalable.

We have 200 people using it for now with plans to increase usage.

We have two people on it for maintenance.

I would rate their technical support at eight or nine out of ten.

The setup was not very easy.

It took two months.

We have a monthly license.

I do recommend Oracle Database to anyone considering it.

On a scale of one to ten, I would give it a nine.

This solution is the corporate base that supports ERP solutions and all our systems. We are customers of Oracle and I'm the CIO. 

There are two valuable features for us; the security of the solution and the availability that this database offers us. With the increased move to digital processes, availability is very important for supporting our business.

The performance could be improved and I think they should work towards providing features that will improve database performance. It would also be helpful if they could come up with something to detect performance problems more easily.

I've been using this solution for 20 years. 

The solution is very stable. Our company has over 1,000 users and we'll keep it at that for the time being. 

The technical support is very good. 

The initial setup is quite straightforward but it requires a professional Oracle database administrator who is an in-house employee.

It's important to evaluate the availability in a corporate database. It's also worth assessing how the database is protected against cyber attacks and how difficult it is to maintain and administer it.

I rate this solution nine out of 10. 

We're using Oracle Database for corporate enterprise resources planning, manufacturing systems, etc. It's deployed in a Red Hat Linux environment.

I've been using Oracle Database for about 15 years.

Oracle Database is stable. I'm quite happy with the performance.

Oracle Database is scalable. We're running it on around 250 devices.

We previously used some small-scale SQL servers running Microsoft SQL Server for access control.

Installing Oracle Database is straightforwad. 

The price should be lower. We're currently paying for it yearly.

I rate Oracle Database 10 out of 10. I would definitely recommend it.

We use Oracle Database for banking and data warehousing.

I like the enterprise features as well as the stability.

The pricing model and scalability could both be improved.

The level of global support given could be improved.

I believe that the simplicity of installation and configuration for logging in to Microsoft and PostgreSQL could be improved.

I have been working with Oracle Database for 20 years.

Oracle Database is a stable product.

When it comes to scalability, Oracle Database is not at the top, but it is better than some of its competitors.

We have hundreds of users in our organization.

The local support is fine, but the global support is terrible, and not worth the cost.

Previously, we used IBM products.

We are also using Microsoft.

We use PostgreSQL, but it is not currently in production.

The pricing model could be better.

When using this solution, there are no additional costs.

I would recommend PostgreSQL for long-term use. 

I haven't seen an alternative if they need a reliable and secure solution for a mission-critical quality control system, because Microsoft lacks enterprise features and PostgreSQL isn't well-established in banking.

I would rate Oracle Database an eight out of ten.

We use Oracle Database in cases where there is a high volume of transactions and to improve the performance for high availability. We're an IBR company, so we're working mostly with call centers.

I love the performance tuning feature of Oracle Database because it provides hints and indexing, which are very valuable. Some of its other valuable features are its rack, record key vaults, and backup compression. 

I'm familiar with various DevOps technologies and how GoogLeNet is working. With GoogLeNet, you can upgrade the application in real-time without downtime. This feature is currently not available in Oracle. If we can do everything in the database without downtime, that would be beneficial for the users.

I've been using Oracle Database for more than eight years.

If you get Oracle Database set up right the first time, it'll run many years without any errors. There are no problems with the database itself, but if it isn't configured correctly or you execute something incorrectly, that can cause a problem. If we use a database in the application and there is a problem, we can quickly fix it. 

We can quickly and easily scale Oracle Database. 

Oracle technical support is wonderful. We've had no problem with that.

The Oracle Database setup is not complex. The rack setup used to require a lot of specialized knowledge about how to set it up, but it has been simplified. For deployment, we create and execute, which takes about three to four hours. 

We were able to handle the deployment through an in-house team. And every two or three months, Oracle releases new security patches and bug fixes. So we check if it's relevant to our product and apply it. We have around six to seven database services, so we manage it when it is released. 

Oracle is very expensive. So if I suggest Oracle to a client, they'll often say it's too costly.

I rate Oracle Database 10 out of 10. I would recommend it. I've worked on many database solutions, like MySQL Server and Sybase, and Oracle is the best based on my experience. If you are considering implementing Oracle Database, I suggest thoroughly reading all the documentation first. Then, figure out a strategy for implementing it and all of the software you'll need. Before you start the setup, you should have full knowledge of the process.
