Oracle Database Reviews

We use this solution as the core database in the banking and insurance systems.

Oracle Database is easy to use.

I would like to see more security included.

I would also like to see more features added and the stability needs improvement.

I have been using Oracle Database for five years.

We are using the latest version.

The stability of the Oracle Database needs to be improved.

Oracle Database is a very scalable product.

Technical support is great, but it can be faster.

Our users have used Windows 10.

I have used Oracle Linux for six years.

For someone who has used Oracle, before it's easy.

We have a DBA and our technical team of six who maintain this solution.

The license fee is paid annually.

The fees are another area that can be improved. The pricing should be cheaper.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I would rate Oracle Database a nine out of ten. Because we work in banking and insurance systems, many people use this solution.

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.

We are third-party administrators and we use Oracle Database as our main Database.

What I like most is the real application security. I have been working with it recently.

The initial setup can be simplified.

I have been working with this solution since the beginning, for more than 20 years.

Stability is not a problem. It's more stable than other solutions.

It's a scalable solution. We haven't encountered any problems. We use partitioning and sharding.

Technical support is not a problem. We receive all of the technical support that we need.

The initial setup is complex. 

The installation of Oracle products is not usually as straightforward as dealing with Microsoft products for example.

It's expensive. I would say that it is more expensive than other competing products.

I recommend this solution to others who are interested in using it.

I would rate Oracle Database a seven out of ten.

The main features that I take into account when I talk about databases of any kind are high availability, reliability and manageability. Oracle RDBMS has all that.

The high availability and reliability with Oracle RAC, Oracle Dataguard and Oracle Flashback, the manageability with several views and packages like Advanced Workload Repository(AWR), Active Session History(ASR), SQL Tuning Advisor, SQL Plan Control, and many others to monitoring and troubleshooting issues and bottlenecks, are valuable features.

With Oracle RAC, we can reach near to the dreamed 99.999% of availability in a year. Oracle Enterprise manager allows us to see the "big picture" and take proactive actions to maintaining the environment.

Oracle RDBMS has great features, but I believe that Oracle could be more flexible with the offering of some extra options, and include them in the main license. Today, a High Availability or MAA environment with an Oracle database is already expensive, plus with those extra options, it could increase the cost much more.

Oracle RDBMS has a lot of features and is extremely stable, but all this come with a price, and in this case a big one. So, I would advise you to use Oracle RDBMS mainly for medium and large enterprises. For small enterprises, I advise using other RDBMs, like SQLServer or PostgreSQL.

The most valuable features of Oracle Database are that it's very powerful, very reliable, and very fast. Those really are the main attributes that any organization should be looking for from a database solution. Can it take the data you throw at it, can you count on it to be available, and will it provide you enough speed so you can work efficiently?

It's a very secure database so that we don't have any worries about security on the database side. We host a lot of data for our customer. It's very important to have a database that's secure and reliable.

It's a very expensive solution. There are other, less expensive products out there, but you wouldn't be getting such a premium product.

We have no issues with deployment.

We have absolutely no issues with the stability. That's one of the primary advantages of Oracle Database.

We've been able to scale it just fine for our needs.

The initial setup was very easy and very straightforward. It's not a difficult product to stand up, and combined with our technical knowledge, the setup was very easy.

We implemented it ourselves with our in-house team.

It's very expensive. You pay a premium price for a premium product.

We didn't really consider other database solutions despite the price because we use other Oracle products already.

Just make sure you read up on it and plan ahead.

My primary use of this solution is to generate electronic documents.

The most valuable feature of Oracle Database is its stability - one can trust that the database is always working.

I've been working with Oracle for over twenty years.

The initial setup was very complex - best case, it takes between four and six hours to set up.

Before implementing this product, make sure to research the environment and the necessary details to do the initial setup. I would rate this solution as nine out of ten.

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 have numerous clients using Oracle Database, and they can choose the size of the solution they require. We have around 500 technical staff in our office to assist our clients when they need assistance. We support our customers for both hardware and software. We provide support for any particular Oracle resource they're using.

Oracle offers good security and supports customization. 

Oracle is a costly product, and it requires a lot of resources.

We have been using Oracle Database for about eight years.

Oracle is a stable product.

Oracle technical support is useful, and we rely on them often.

Oracle is a large implementation, especially in Oracle Enterprise Edition. Oracle provide good support for implementations, however.

Oracle is an expensive product.

Some of our customers ask us to provide a list of features for different products, which we provide, along with a cost analysis, if they wish to look at alternatives, but these can vary. Customers make their own decisions based on the information we provide.

I would rate Oracle 8 out of 10.
