What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The system is generally stable; however, during month-end processes that involve calculations and data aggregation, we have experienced occasional delays.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The current solution lacks scalability and there's room for improvement in that aspect. Right now, I'm developing products for end-users, with around three to four hundred employees utilizing screens, seeking to enhance their user experience and efficiency in generating reports and outputs.
How are customer service and support?
The customer support provided is highly commendable. However, it's a commonly held perception that this support can be costly in Korea. While the core solution itself is not exorbitant, the support services are associated with a significant maintenance fee, often ranging from twenty to thirty percent.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
How was the initial setup?
The installation process can be quite challenging. To streamline this, we don't install Oracle directly. Instead, we opt for a method involving copying code, which is time-consuming.
What about the implementation team?
This process entails creating spaces, and it consumes a significant amount of time. However, once we have an Oracle database established, we can conveniently duplicate it to create an identical setup. This allows us to create another space, acquire the necessary licenses, and overall make the process much more straightforward. The deployment process typically spans several days, and the number of required personnel depends on the project's size and complexity. When it comes to data migration, involving both before and after images, the entire process usually extends to six or seven months.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The price of the solution is not very expensive. However, the issue lies in the ongoing maintenance charges, which can be quite high and burdensome.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
These days in Korea, discussions often revolve around cloud services, with a focus on technologies like Hadoop and MongoDB, also there's a new Oracle service, that is related to handling large datasets. The challenge is that not many people are aware of this Oracle service, and this lack of knowledge is seen as a limitation compared to technologies like Hadoop. Hadoop can extend across multiple servers, which allows for clustering and scaling. Oracle, on the other hand, traditionally operates on a single server without easy expansion to multiple servers. However, Oracle introduced a solution to address this limitation a couple of years ago, but it seems that it hasn't gained widespread recognition yet.
What other advice do I have?
Overall, I would rate it ten out of ten.
Disclosure: I am a real user, and this review is based on my own experience and opinions.

Senior Manager Global Database Services at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
Offers multiple reliable databases but their technical support needs improvement
Pros and Cons
- "The scalability of the database is absolutely guaranteed by the new features."
- "The support is not that great. They're not really supporting directly anymore and relying on experts to figure out technical issues."
How has it helped my organization?
Having multiple reliable databases has improved our business greatly because having a robust database is so integral to the company in general.
What needs improvement?
The support is not that great. They're not really supporting directly anymore and relying on experts to figure out technical issues. Oracle does offer a website where you can open a service request, etc., however, general technical support could be improved.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've been using the solution for 20 years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The solution is, without a doubt, very stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The scalability of the database is absolutely guaranteed by the new features. We have 20-30,000 users on the solution right now.
How are customer service and technical support?
Technical support is lacking in general.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
As a global company, we have all types of business needs, and all types of cloud and on-premises solutions. We chose Oracle MySQL because it was the best option, and still is.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup was very easy.
What about the implementation team?
Implementation was handled by our internal team.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The solution is very expensive. Of course, you pay for what you get. So there is a reason why those products are very expensive compared with the other products. You are paying for some very good features.
What other advice do I have?
We use a hybrid version of the solution.
I would recommend Oracle MySQL.
I would rate the solution seven out of ten. I would rate it higher if support was better.

IT Head
A very stable, very scalable solution with a simple setup
Pros and Cons
- "The stability of the solution is very good. I wouldn't have used it for the past seven years if I was not satisfied."
- "Sometimes MySQL does upgrades on the server. When we are still using the old server and when they integrate the upgrade, they don't carry along some of the old syntaxes. The versions don't sync."
What is our primary use case?
I use MySQL for the database, to store data on my web application
What is most valuable?
The solution overall is very powerful.
What needs improvement?
Sometimes MySQL does upgrades on the server. When we are still using the old server and when they integrate the upgrade, they don't carry along some of the old syntaxes. The versions don't sync.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've been using the solution for almost seven years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The stability of the solution is very good. I wouldn't have used it for the past seven years if I was not satisfied.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The solution is very scalable.
How are customer service and technical support?
We've never used the solution's enterprise support. We can get support from the MySQL communities, so we've never needed to contact technical support.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Previously, we used Node.js. It's a document-oriented database. Complexity-wise, there was a chance it could fail, which is why we ultimately switched.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is very straightforward.
What other advice do I have?
The simplicity of the solution is very good. It's a straightforward solution and makes for a very good cloud option.
I would rate the solution nine out of ten.
