Oracle Database Reviews

Oracle database stores system data accessed by desktop users, primarily for HR and ERP systems. I plan to implement some custom functionalities for standard operations.

Oracle Database is suitable for large enterprises.

Some applications use specialized hardware to optimize query processing. I've received customization requests for call recordings and other features.

I have been using Oracle Database for three years.

The product is stable.

Many team members are using this solution.

The technical support takes longer time to respond.

The initial setup is complex.

I rate the initial setup two out of ten, where one is difficult and ten is easy.

You need an experienced Oracle administrator to maintain the solution.

Overall, I rate the solution a six out of ten.

My company is using the solution as a database warehouse. Previously, when I was a vendor, they used to work with Oracle forms. They were doing databases, and we were doing a secondary backup solution, which was backing up on the cloud.

It's quite an important part of the business. Most of the core banking servers are using Oracle Database. It's the heart of the environment. It's quite an important part of the business.

The database is a quite valuable feature.

One area where the product could improve would be to have more simplified documentation. There are things which are quite difficult to find. Also, some setup videos, like a video together with the documentation, for someone who is first implementing a solution. Watching someone else doing it would make the person more confident than just having all the notes and all the possibilities.

In addition, for the DBA, Oracle could have a series of videos. Then it would be easier for a company to buy the educational content, to become a DBA, with the videos already there, rather than looking for an online instructor than trying to get the classes. What is lacking with Oracle is the availability of education to be able to work with Oracle. Oracle is not difficult, but there is a lot that you need to know. Even if you work with only the documentation, they won't help you that much. Bringing educational content that would help the individual to be able to work in real-life situations and scenarios.

It would be better to have a compilation of videos as a pack to sell to the vendors with all the information to become DBA or to become someone who can implement an Oracle system.

I have been using the solution for three years.

It's a very stable solution, especially with the hot backup, archive logs, and everything.

In terms of scalability, the solution is pretty easy to scale up and to add things and modifications. It is pretty clear.

The technical support is very good. I've learned more with support, actually, than from the documentations.

The deployment is kind of straightforward, but there are things that are not straightforward. For example, if you are on AIX, it's a lot to do before installing.

Doing all the work manually, I believe it takes three to four people to maintain Oracle Database.

I also have Oracle Cloud Backup. It took me one week to figure out how to implement it, but that was two years ago. Now the documentation is much better.

I believe the solution is quite expensive.

My advice regarding this solution is that you need a lot of practice. It would be great if Oracle could provide a platform to practice implementations.

I would rate the solution an eight out of 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. 

All of our critical databases are running on Oracle Database.

They continue to improve and are always introducing new features.

More integration, in my opinion, would be beneficial.

I have been working with Oracle Database for 20 to 30 years.

Because we have a long-term contract with the software team, we are always up to date. It's always the most up-to-date version.

Because Oracle Database is incredibly stable, it has been used for 20 to 30 years.

Oracle Database is a scalable solution.

It is being worked on by the development team. As a result, it's reaching our entire organization's population.

I have never contacted technical support.

Previously, we were using NetVault. We also use MySQL.

The initial setup is very straightforward.

We have the necessary expertise to set up and deploy this solution in-house.

We have a subscription.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I would rate Oracle Database an eight out of ten.

We use Oracle Database in most of our prediction environments. We're working on managing most of our applications for prediction and testing and running it on Oracle. 

I like that it's stable. What's good is that Oracle manages the infrastructure. We have got better because they update the server by default or whenever it's needed. They try to fix it server by server because of their own support plans.

It could be cheaper and easier to manage. Support could also be better. Performance could be better. Sometimes testing impacts the prediction performance. We have a complex server that serves both prediction and testing. Sometimes testing applies to many other deployments that impact the service provided. It's a problem for our company.

We have been using Oracle for more than 20 years and Oracle Database for many years.

It provides stable services, and we don't worry about that.

I think it's scalable because we're now doing an integration, and we have been providing the capacity required for that. We currently have about 2,000 users and plan to increase usage.

Oracle's technical support isn't good enough. Our own professionals manage some issues.

It could be cheaper. We pay for the license on a yearly basis.

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

We are using the solution for enterprise business databases.

I have been using this solution for approximately 10 years.

The solution in my experience has been stable.

The solution could be more scalable. We have approximately 100 users using the solution in my company and we plan on increasing the usage.

I was satisfied with the technical support.

There is a license required for this solution and it is a little expensive.

We plan to continue using the solution in the future.

I rate Oracle Database an eight out of ten.

I primarily use the solution for high transaction services.

I primarily use the Oracle Clock feature. For me, it's the most valuable aspect of the product.

The user interface is quite good.

We haven't had any problems with support.

We've found the integration with other solutions to be acceptable.

The stability is great.

We've found the solution to be scalable.

There's a good online community that can help users troubleshoot issues.

The solution could be better and more constant at higher-speed transactions. The solution could be more stable and offer more data. In SQL, I find more consistency.

The licenses could be improved. They should examine their structure. The pricing could be better.

The initial setup is complex.

It would be nice to have cloud and on-premises options available. It would be ideal if there could be integration with cloud services.

I've used the solution for a while. 

The stability has been pretty good. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable.

The scalability is good. If you need to scale it up as a company, you can do so. I have not heard of anyone having any problems in that regard.

We have 2,000 to 3,000 users not eh solution typically.

We mostly deal with large businesses. 

We haven't had any issues with technical support. However, I haven't really had a chance to interact with them, and therefore can't really speak from personal experience. 

There are lots of communities that deal with Oracle. Typically, if you have a question or a problem, you can find an answer online and you don't necessarily need to turn directly to Oracle support.

The initial setup is not very straightforward. The Oracle manual is complex and the steps involved are not so easy to explain. The initial process and configuration can be tricky.

The deployment itself took about half a day or so.

The maintenance is pretty easy. It doesn't take up a lot of time. 

Oracle needs to offer better pricing.

Our first option was Oracle, however, we also looked at Postgres SQL. 

There are a few key differences, including the license. They also differ in terms of the reliability of services and the specifications. It is a more complicated process. It is a very very complicated process to customize things, for example.

My company is an Oracle partner and reseller for end controls. My company is a management and service provider.

I'm using three versions of the product - Versions 3, 11, and 12.2.

I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten. We've been mostly happy with the product.

20 people in our organisation use Oracle. We are an Oracle partner. We are using Oracle version 8 and 9. We use it for finances, human resources and payroll.

The solution is definitely very good for our consultancy on payroll and human resource.

Oracle could improve the finance system. Oracle is also very expensive.

We have been using Oracle for 18 years. It is implemented on-premise.

Oracle support takes a very long time to respond.

The deployment and setup can take up to 6 months to be operational. It takes a very long time for our needs.

It takes several consultants to enable implementation.

We recommend the solution from Oracle and I would rate the solution 8 out of 10.
