Oracle Database Reviews

I use Oracle Database just for storage of the corporate database data and the finance data.

I use Oracle Database just for storage of the corporate database data and the finance data. However, I find the dashboard to be complicated and not user-friendly.

The primary use case is a stable relational database used to manage business applications with less downtime for the business. It seems to have the ability to scale up and down depending upon business needs. We needed a database with effective backup and recovery tools to protect the database against data loss and reconstruct the database quickly in case of any loss. The database addresses information security by providing cutting-edge security features to protect corporate assets and data critical to business.

Oracle Database is easy to install and set up. It has provided great stability and reliability to meet business requirements. The performance of the database is very good and is able to handle extensive workloads. It can run complex queries without any issues. 

Oracle Database offers great new features in every new release and these features provide more enhancements for running and developing smooth database operations. The database backup and recovery tools are easy to use to protect data from any failures.

We work with a bank and our core banking application sits on Oracle Database. Most of the applications in our ecosystem are all developed on Oracle RDBMS, so Oracle Database. They are all running mostly on Oracle Database. I'd estimate that 75-80% of our applications all run on Oracle Database in our environment.

The solution has been around for a long time, so it's very mature. We've used various versions, from 8 to 12 c. The RDBM has a strong reputation.

The solution is able to run on different types of machines, from IBM AIX to UNIX.

The solution has very robust integrity due to how it is designed and implemented.

The security is very tight. Users can be very sure of Oracle's safety. It has a variety of different security layers that make it very, very safe.

Oracle offers a great disaster recovery tool called Oracle Data Guard, which is fantastic.

The solution has very good failover capabilities. You can do it manually or automate the process if you like. It's all very transparent.

You can query around the rack as well you call it the rack cluster. There's great availability. It helps to handle high availability within the nodes. Even if you have a problem with one server, the others are still available and will continue the job without going down. 

We work in a back-end environment that is mission-critical, and we cannot afford downtime. Oracle is a perfect solution, as it will never go down. Customers will always be served at any point without experiencing a delay, which is of vital importance to banking.

Oracle is constantly working to improve its products. It now offers AI and machine learning capabilities to run queries.

There's lots of research and development being done constantly. This ensures they are always one step ahead of other databases.

We work in agriculture, and where we're located we have two sites in two separate cities in Canada. These are all transactional databases and they have information in them about the dairy industry in our country. We use it for storing data related to dairy cows, dairy farmers, or farmers in general, and we have all the information in the transactional database that holds everything from billing to individual animal data. We probably have about 12 terabytes of data on the Oracle databases.

The reliability and the ability to store all the information we need is how it helps us the most. I don't know the metrics of the top of my head, I just know it works. 

We decided to use Oracle from the start because of its reputation of robustness. It provided us with everything that we needed. 

We use the solution for data warehousing. 

The tool supports a large volume of transactions compared to other databases we've used. One feature that had a significant impact is Oracle Data Integrator. It allows us to transfer data from the enterprise database to the data warehouse. This is useful for creating different data sets for finance teams and other departments.

Oracle Database offers encryption and decryption features, which help avoid cyber attacks.It is easy to transfer data from different countries to one location. This helps us provide information to higher management for decision-making.

Ideally, I don't work with Oracle Database, but I take care of product security.

As we have a lot of data used in our data bank, it makes up for a major reason why our company uses Oracle Database.

Considering the current threats in the industry, my company has to put in efforts to update the tool, or we have to work on some more things so that we can have a secure environment. The aforementioned area can be improved in the tool.

We use it internally for some small odds and ends. Two of our biggest clients use this solution. One client has more or less a data warehousing application. Another one has more of a transactional and pseudo accounting application.

I am currently using 12c, but I have also done some work with version 18. This July, we're going to upgrade most of our main databases from version 12 to version 18, which is fairly current. I believe they have version 20 available at this point.

The thing that probably stands out the most about Oracle Database is reliability. I have been working with Oracle Databases for over 25 years, and I have never lost any data due to a machine going down or any events that were not stupid human tricks. I've never lost anybody's data using Oracle. It gets the job done and doesn't fail. 

It does what I want it to do. It has got a lot of features. Anytime I need a feature, I am able to find it in Oracle Database. It has never happened that I found a feature in any other database, but I was not able to find it in Oracle.

I set up ERP projects for applications and databases to implement infrastructure and scalability. The solutions include SAP and IFS on the Linux operating system. 

When planning a database strategy for running applications in a client-server environment, Oracle Database can integrate smoothly and steadily. 

The MS SQL Server is cost-effective, however, fails to meet global centralization in IT. SAP and IFS also recommend that transactions exceed certain numbers and need to be replaced with Oracle Database instead for performance issues.

Oracle Database covers performance capabilities, scalability, security features, and integration with cloud technologies. We selected the top choice for organizations across industries after an overall assessment. For Linux platforms in cloud solutions, Oracle is committed to supporting business industries and maintains its popularity for memory-based enterprise data. 

For expansion, Oracle can quickly expand its capacity to handle growing data needs by adding additional server resources. It is designed to offer high-performance capabilities in order to handle complex, demanding workloads.
