Oracle Multitenant Reviews

We are a solution provider, and we have implemented this solution for our customers.

One of the use cases is in a banking institution, with an on-premises deployment.

The most valuable features are the speed and ease of use.

This solution has more features, for example in security, than competing products.

The user interface for this solution can be made better.

This solution is a little bit pricey. It costs a lot of money.

This is a stable solution.

This solution is scalable.

Oracle support is ok, although I have not needed to contact them for this solution.

I have also used MySQL, but this solution has more features, tools, and is also more secure.

The initial setup of this solution is easy. For us, it went fine and took about thirty minutes.

One person is enough for deployment and maintenance.

I deployed this solution for my customer.

With respect to ROI, it is too early to say.

This is a solution that I recommend.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

It's a really great new option for Database 12c. I think there's huge potential because it allows a container database to hold many pluggable databases. I love using it, even though there's not much information out there about it. People will realize how good it is at adopting databases without application changes.

Oracle has a lot of work to do with Multitenant because it's a new feature. For example, it prevents you from actually using it if your database has certain features that it doesn't yet support. We'll have to wait and see if the next release fixes some of these issues.

Multitenant came out with Database 12c release 12.1, which was about two years ago. I've been using it since then.

We've had deployment issues because it's so new that there are some features of our database that aren't supported.

It's stable, but it takes a lot of time to adopt all other products to use it as well. It's sad that Oracle's killed off some support for Multitenant with some features, such as Streams, CDC, and others. Release 12.2 covered some of the gaps, but feature releases need more coverage.

Release 12.2 has really improved on scalability. If you put 250 pluggable databases on one machine and the resource manager isn't up to par, you can't really move it around much.

It was a fairly straightforward initial setup. We didn't have much trouble with it.

We implemented it ourselves.

We are not using this product in-house. We are using Oracle for the implementation of products for our customers.

Maintaining databases is a valuable feature for us.

It would be beneficial to include this solution with Oracle Enterprise, but Oracle charges additional fees for it. 

I have been working with Oracle for twenty-five years now, but two years with this solution.

This solution is stable.

This solution is scalable.

This is a good product for consolidation purposes.

We are currently using many Oracle products for Data Warehousing and Communication, but they are expensive, so we are looking for alternatives.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.
