Oracle Database Reviews

In the last project, we had a big warehouse. It was a logistics company, and we had all company data stored in this. We also had insurance use cases. We had all contracts, customer data, and all kinds of stuff.

It is one of the most reliable database systems. 

With the new version, we never came across any important limitations. There was nothing that needed improvement. However, in versions 9 and 10, we sometimes had problems, and big and complicated queries did not get through. In versions 11 and 12, I did not experience any problem.

There could be some more information about load balancing and all these things. For me, it was just a part of the infrastructure maintained by other people. So, I cannot really say what they need.

I have been using this solution for decades. I worked for a company developing insurance software in the nineties, and we used Db2 and Oracle.

It is perfectly stable.

It is scalable. The number of users differed a lot. There were not that many who used it directly. It was mainly was used by programs written by me. There might be around 100 users who used these programs.

I have not interacted with them recently. I don't know whether our database administration team contacted Oracle. I just know it was usable from our layout or view.

We have used Oracle, SQL Server, and Db2, and all of them were okay for our purposes. In the new project, we will probably use Oracle, but we might also use SQL Server. I'm pretty neutral this way, as long as it works.

I am not the one who does the database administration and installation.

I would recommend this solution. It is certainly a valid option.

I would rate Oracle Database a ten out of ten. It is one of the best solutions.

We have 5 Oracle servers having 3 RAC and 2 Stand Alone servers.All using Oracle 12c R2 SE.

1 DR standalone server is also there .

Oracle was the first choice at the time of creating our application because of our very low load.

Now when our application has become mission-critical, Even with the SE version we are able to deal with a complete load very efficiently and effectively.

The most valuable features of this solution are the performance and its inbuilt services.

In Oracle we can find out most services are inbuilt. scalability, high availability, split brain handling , Null handling  ,it working of execution plan . All these features have helped us many times . 

As of Now Oracle has gained an image of Customer binding database.

Once some one opted for Oracle database , it becomes very difficult in many ways to move on other database.

As of now oracle can be considered as Top of the list and many of the database are not enough close to oracle concepts and it's standards so it's kind of responsibility to Oracle to bring a fair competition in market. 

In return ,it will help Oracle itself. Take an Example of Football. Consider Oracle a high level Club who have it's own Practice and playing Area but only his own rules are implemented. Any player who is a beginner and cannot afford such a high clubs will start practice in small arenas which have some what similar rules .Once Player's practice gave him confidence to go for a big club ,he will feel comfortable in choosing a club whose rules are known to him , Not someone for whom he has to change his playing technique. 

So Oracle should consider working in this direction so that he can keep the control over the wind of Market. 

I have been using this solution for two years.

We are currently using Oracle 12c SE Release 2.

In terms of stability, we know that Oracles releases quarterly batches but we have still been faced with many bugs over the last year.

I cannot say that it is stable.

This is an area that needs improvement.

It's a scalable solution.

As known to everyone, One of the best.

This is one of the portion where Oracle have to be little bit loose .I have raised only around 7-8 tickets including 2 P1 , but it always looks like I am talking to a bot with pre recorded  statements when the person is not able to answer. Most of the times information is attached , but they still insist very hardly to send it in there format so that there machine can read it .

Nope , Oracle was used from Starting.

All is easy, given that you must know what are you using it for.

Depending on the services included, it seems little bit expensive. 

In starting we didn't evaluate much, but giving the condition of ending support , we do not have any choice so we are looking for other options including upgradation as well.

Oracle is good for large scale environments.

New startups MUST always think of other options before going to Oracle.

We primarily use the product to store textual data and support applications like our HR and case management systems.

The platform's security features and stability are commendable.

They could provide ease of migration and competitive pricing for the database.

We have been using Oracle Database since 2005.

I rate the product's stability a nine. We haven't encountered significant issues.

Around 500 users access Oracle Database regularly in our company. We haven't faced scalability issues; it's more than enough for our current needs. 

Once you're familiar with the product, setup becomes easier. Single-node setups are quick, but integrated configurations can take more time.

We get help from integrators to set up the database.

The platform is highly-priced. 

I rate the security features an eight or nine.

I would hesitate to recommend Oracle Database solely due to its high cost. If pricing were more competitive, I'd be more inclined to recommend it.

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

We use Oracle Database to run applications. We use it for our clients' databases and applications.

Whenever a client has problems or requires new implementations, they approach us. We provide training and coaching with application implementations. Currently, one such implementation is underway in the UK.

The product is very stable. We use it for supporting applications, including data warehousing.

The solution could be cheaper and adopt AI space.

I have been using Oracle Database for 25 years.

The product is stable.

I rate the solution’s stability a nine out of ten.

The solution’s scalability is good. It caters to small and medium enterprises with different products and ranges.

I rate the solution’s scalability a nine out of ten.

Technical support could get better.

Neutral

The initial setup is quite simple. We mostly use the installation pack and code pack. Our setup includes a script center, shell scripts, and commercial Java courses.

The product is expensive.

We use database clusters for different clients depending on the SLA. We use Oracle Clusterware and Oracle Advanced Compression. We use These specific options for various clients; however, the selection depends on the client's needs.

We have robust protection measures that are ensured using encryption technologies such as Transparent Database Encryption provided by Oracle. These features are available across all our database offerings, and we have implemented them for our clients accordingly.

We are heavily involved in AI development, and eventually, our products are tailored to fit into the AI space seamlessly.

Integrations are pretty transparent based on the type of solutions and the specific customer requirements. Customer relations between Oracle products are typically straightforward, whereas integrating with third-party products may present some challenges.

Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

I work as a software developer designing DevOps and implementing Oracle applications with Oracle Database. I design and develop core banking systems, so my role was to manage a team of developers for design, development, and testing. I do some implementation, too. Our customers use Oracle Database as an RDBMS store data.

The most important features of Oracle Database are ease of use and high reliability. I also love the dynamic PL/SQL feature, which I use to generate custom and ad hoc reports.

I've worked with Oracle Database for more than 15 years. 

Oracle Database is a stable product. Oracle has raised the standards for RDBMS solutions. Most banks and government organizations in Nepal use Oracle Database because they're highly reliable. 

Oracle Database is scalable. I've deployed the solution at a government tax agency with more than 500 users. The core banking system was implemented at a bank with 22 branches all over Nepal and 200-plus users. Our most recent public sector project had over 100 users. 

Oracle support is helpful, and they resolve all our issues, but sometimes the response to our clients isn't as prompt as we'd like. 

Deploying Oracle Database is easy for me because I have so many years of experience. The team needed for deployment depends on the project. I had a team of 10 software developers for the core banking system, but we used a six-person crew for one of the government projects, including the front-end developer and documentation experts.

We have a team of four certified Oracle Database admins providing support. What I call EMC is something that provides software upgrade solutions, security passes, and everything, but the customer also needs some local support for creating the VR side to back up the client's data and other daily maintenance. We provide this type to banking and government customers in Nepal.

My company is an Oracle Gold Partner, so we proved licenses to the customers as well. The license price is listed globally on the Oracle site. It's basically license plus EMC.

I rate Oracle Database nine out of 10. Oracle releases new versions every year. It's now on 21C, and they regularly provide security patches and bug fixes. The customer will have issues without them. I think Oracle is doing a good job. They are investing massive resources into development. 

We have deployed Oracle Database on-premise hardware and on-premise cloud.

Oracle Database is used as a database for various applications. We are using it for a lot of our warehouses.

Oracle Database is the most widely accepted database, and it has built-in technical and security capabilities. It supports the new object in the database. The performance and security are very good, and it is user-friendly. There are a lot of people trained to use this solution which makes it simple to find assistance.

Oracle Database could improve by making migration less difficult and having better integration. For example, having the ability to communicate, using native features, to different databases. Mostly connectivity to different databases, such as open-source databases or any other database.

I have been using Oracle Database since it was version 3 and they are on version 17. It has been a long time.

The stability of the Oracle Database is very good.

Oracle Database is scalable.

Everyone in our organization is using the solution. We have approximately 2,000 users using it directly or indirectly. We have developers, DBAs, system administrators, business analytics people, auditors, and regular users. Additionally, applications are using the database.

I rate the support from Oracle Database a three out of five.

The initial setup of the Oracle Database was straightforward. 

If Oracle Database was for a new customer or a new installation, I'm not sure, how difficult it is since we have been doing the implementation for approximately 30 years. For us, it's very easy. We are used to the software.

The price of Oracle Database could improve, it is expensive and they are paid annually. We are looking for lower pricing and flexible pricing plans, they are very rigid in the price.

I rate the price of Oracle Database a two out of five.

My advice would be for others to use the cloud version of this solution. Do not deploy it on-premise, and deploy them on the containers. Using containers, not directly on the infrastructure, then it makes it very easy, scalable, and more flexible to move around.

I rate Oracle Database an eight out of ten.

It is our core for bank processes.

The scalability is very good, and it is stable.

The interface is not reliable because the GUI is old.

It needs to be more attractive.

It is very stable.

The scalability is very good.

We have about 120 users.

It was implemented by a vendor.

We have a yearly license.

For us as a bank, the price is not too high, but for a small business, it would be an expensive solution.

I would rate Oracle Database at nine on a scale from one to ten.

We are using Oracle Database for financial applications.

One of the most valuable aspects of Oracle Database is the maturity of the solution.

I have been using Oracle Database for approximately five years.

Oracle Database is a highly stable solution.

The workloads of Oracle Database are scalable.

We have approximately 50 people using the solution. We do have plans to increase the number of users but not at the moment.

The support from Oracle is fairly good. They have knowledge-based articles that you can consult before you need their direct support, we're happy with the support.

The initial setup of the Oracle Database is straightforward. However, it does require some skills and knowledge. The process takes approximately two hours.

We used two internal engineers for the implementation of the Oracle Database.

The Oracle Database licensing price could be less expensive. We pay annually for the use of the solution.

We are happy with Oracle Database.

I rate Oracle Database a right out of ten.
