Oracle Database Reviews

We use Oracle Database in our company for finding data.

Oracle Database required some time to learn the basics and how it works. However, this is typical for database solutions.

I have been using Oracle Database for approximately three years.

Oracle Database is stable.

Oracle Database is scalable to a limit. It depends on the use case and other factors.

The technical support is good, we have responses to our problems.

I have used SQL Server.

The deployment of the database takes approximately two hours.

We have used an integrator for more difficult implementations. However, we have implemented Oracle Database.

The price of Oracle Database is high and could be reduced.

We know that Oracle is a little bit expensive and there are other solutions that we can use to reduce costs. For example, there are some features in Oracle Database that we don't use and we probably do not need.

I rate Oracle Database a nine out of ten.

Oracle Database is a management system, it has many applications. Most of my customers are financial, telecom, and utility organizations.

The most valuable features of Oracle Database are the Data Guard because it does replication and the integration layer, such as GoldenGate.

There is a lot that can improve in Oracle Database. For example, it could be more user-friendly and should be easier to integrate into the cloud.

I have been using Oracle Database for approximately 20 years.

Oracle Database is highly scalable. It supports the cluster configuration with the hundreds of nodes, the performance is good. The data volume Oracle Database consumes is quite scalable.

I haven't seen huge installations with petabytes of data but I know the solution has good capabilities. If the solution did not have good capabilities the major institutions would not use it.

For my region, all the Oracle support technical support is from India. I have some experience with interacting with them. There have been very few times I have created service requests. Most of the information I am able to find from their knowledge base is available on their website and other resources.

I have previously used Postgres, MariaDB, and Informix.

Oracle corporation invests a lot into its core technology. For example, if you compare it with Postgres, it is capable to handle heavy workloads. Additionally, with Oracle Database you can make very complex database architecture. In freeware solutions, you have to employ 10 times more database administrators than for those who use Oracle. It requires a lot of people for freeware databases.

The initial setup is simple. However, in order to install it correctly, you have to have some experience. You must know where the data must be put. It is better to have assistance when installing the solution. 

The length of time of the installation depends on the installation environment.

Oracle Database requires a lot of maintenance and the amount depends on the scale and the initial requirements. Each project can be very different.

The price of Oracle Database is quite high compared to other solutions. It has a lot of options, such as security for partitioning and real application clusters. These options are not for free. Once you want to use it, you have to pay extra.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Oracle Database an eight out of ten.

The most valuable feature is the Oracle RAC.

I have used Oracle Database within the last 12 months.

I have not had any bugs or glitches, the solution is stable.

Oracle Database is easy to scale.

We have approximately 200 people using this solution in my organization.

The technical support from Oracle is good and responsive. I used them for security updates and patches.

The setup is fine, but it depends on many factors.

The price of Oracle Database is too expensive and especially for individual environments. The pricing model is not clear, if I want to run it on a virtual environment, I still need to license the whole physical box.

I have evaluated MySQL.

My advice is to others wanting to implement Oracle Database is to first look at the open-source products, such as MySQL, because sometimes they can do as good of a job as Oracle Database.

I rate Oracle Database an eight out of ten.

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.

I use this solution for database management.

I have found the most valuable feature to be the performance. We have a large database in my company and there is not likely a solution that has the performance we need.

Oracle Database could improve by providing access and integration with containers.

I have been using this solution for approximately 20 years.

The stability of this solution is good.

Oracle does not support standard containers and this is a limitation when it comes to scalability. You can not make a partition in the database. However, there might be a separate product to enable this feature.

We have approximately 10,000 users using this solution and this does not include the internet users that use our database every day.

The technical support has been good.

The price of the solution could improve.

Oracle is the best database solution in the world. I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Oracle Database a nine out of ten.

We are primarily using the solution for Oracle RAC - Real Application Clusters.

The solution is very stable with the performance being very reliable. 

We've found that it is very easy to scale the solution.

The installation is very simple and straightforward. The deployment process happens very quickly.

Technical support has always been helpful and knowledgeable. 

The security of the solution could be improved. It's an area that isn't as good as it could be.

I've been using the solution for about ten years or so. It has been approximately a decade. I've used the solution for a long time.

The solution is stable. The performance is very good. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's very good.

The solution can scale quite well. A company that needs to expand it, it can do so with relative ease. We haven't found any issues or shortcomings in that respect.

We have about 50 or so people in our organization that are using it at this time.

Although it hasn't been fully decided, we may increase usage in the future.

We have dealt with technical support in the past. They have been helpful and responsive. We're quite satisfied with the level of service we receive. I have no complaints.

The initial setup is very straightforward. It's not overly complex. It's very easy. A company shouldn't have any issues with the initial setup.

The deployment is very fast. It takes about an hour or so. 

We have 10 engineers that are capable of implementing the solution.

I handled the implementation myself. I did not need the assistance of an integrator or consultant. 

We do not have to pay for a license in order to be able to use the product.

We are a customer and an end-user. We don't have a professional business relationship with Oracle. 

I would rate this solution, on a scale from one to ten, at a ten. We are extremely satisfied with its capabilities. 

I would recommend the solution to other organizations and users. 

The performance of the solution is impeccable.

The simplicity and ease of use is fantastic. Compared to other databases, it's not a complex tool to manage.

While working with 20-30 terabytes is okay using this solution, if you have Big Data, data that's much bigger than that, you will run into issues. It's a problem I have right now. They should support much more data.

Aside from that, the solution isn't lacking any features that I can think of. It's an almost perfect solution, aside from the data issues we face.

I've been using the solution for many years. It's been a long time.

The solution is extremely stable. There are no problems with it there. There aren't bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or fail. It's completely reliable.

Scalability is a problem for us. We need something that can handle Big Data. By Big Data, I mean more than 30 terabytes of data. Anything under that, and the solution might scale okay, however, for us, scalability is a problem because of the vast amounts of data we need to work with.

Technical support is excellent. They're really great. I have no complaints in regards to the level of support they provide to us. We've been satisfied with their service.

I've looked at Axway Data, and it is a very good solution as well, however, it is a bit expensive and offers little support for very Big Data.

We work closely with many integrator companies, however, we don't have a business relationship with Oracle. I'm a technical architect, so I just make some recommendations, and that's all.

I'd recommend the solution, so long as you aren't working with very very Big Data like we are. I could also recommend Axway, which I believe is also good.

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

Some of the valuable features are flash back, RMAN, and Oracle secure backup.

It has reduced our backup time.

I would like to see Oracle support fix issues faster after we log a complaint.

I did not encounter any issues with deployment.

I did not encounter any issues with stability.

I did not encounter any issues with scalability.

Customer service is very good

Technical support is not very good.

We did not evaluate another solution.

The setup was easy.

We implemented in-house.

The ROI is unknown.

We did not evaluate other solutions.
