We work with various technologies, including Microsoft, MongoDB, and others, and Oracle integrates well with all solutions. I rate it a ten out of ten.
I use Oracle Database in our company's daily operations as we have a data pipeline which can cleanse the database. We have many connectors to ingest the data in Oracle Database. In the data lake, we do perform transformation, after which the cleansed data is moved to the warehouse. The security features of Oracle Database match our data protection needs since it provides a particular user ID and a password while binding to the roles and privileges, like in the case of admin accounts and user accounts. When it comes to data analysis, the tool has a very huge kind of data in it. In our company, we used to write queries, and Oracle helped us analyze the data, after which we can select a particular data set based on what we require. The queries are very fast. The migration from Oracle Database 18c to Oracle Database 19c has affected my operations because I think that some of the features are being deprecated during each of the migration processes. I can rate the whole migration process as seven out of ten. I started with Oracle Linux 7, and now I use Oracle Database 21c. The tool has matured and is good. I recommend the tool to others. It is better to use Oracle's functions, whichever will improve scalability and app performance. The tool has many areas that will help us query data, code data, and perform analytics. I rate the tool an eight out of ten.
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.
I rate the overall solution an eight out of ten. Consider starting with an open-source database instead of Oracle Database, as the enterprise versions and licensing costs can be quite significant.

Oracle Database is on-premises, and we want it migrated to the cloud. If you're a new organization to start with an IT role or IT design, start with the cloud. If you are an old user of IT infrastructures, then it's high time to migrate from on-premises solutions to the cloud. It was easy to migrate to Oracle Database from another database system. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

I recommend leveraging Oracle's logging capabilities, as it can efficiently offload tasks such as reporting, backups, and more. This allows for utilising commodity platforms, reducing reliance on proprietary systems and enabling the adoption of internal IMD platforms. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
Currently, my company uses the tool for record-keeping purposes, specifically for some information. My company uses Power BI for real-time data analytics. The critical applications our company runs on Oracle Database are attached to areas involving invoicing and financial systems. The security features of Oracle Database are good, reliable, and stable. The cloud-based solution available is good for those who plan to start using the tool. Instead of choosing the on-premises version, people can go with the tool's cloud-based version. Potential uses of the product should attempt to start small, and then when the need arises, they can grow the tool's usage capacity. The tool offers fallback, resilience, and redundancy features, which you can always add whenever required. Though I have never tried to use the migration capabilities of the product, I know that there is a process for using it, which is not very difficult but sometimes time-consuming. I rate the product an eight out of ten.

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.

I would recommend this product to others. We have already been using it for a long time, and we have no need to move to another product. It is very good. I would rate this product a nine out of 10.
I would recommend starting with the SaaS model cloud platform. You can start at a small scale, and then you can expand based on your requirements. You can start with a small investment and grow as your business is growing. We are going to explore the autonomous part. It has already been improved. We'll start using that area, but because we are already using this one, and it is stable, we didn't try to use the autonomous side. That would be the area that would be most useful for us in terms of the SaaS solution. I would rate it a nine out of ten.

As databases go, Oracle Database is quite a good database with decent performance, and I think that's all there needs to be said. I would rate it an eight out of ten.
I believe they should also devote more time to learning Oracle. They will also notice that Oracle is not difficult to install or administer if best practices are followed. And, depending on your goals, I believe anyone can do it. Because Oracle Database has so many features, you can do audit vaults and data guides on it, depending on how you want to run your business. Another thing I would recommend is that people be aware that Oracle has opened its website for people to sign up for free and then download the software for practice, study, or training purposes only. If you intend to use it for production purposes, that is when you should purchase a license. Because of the prices, I would rate Oracle Database a nine out of ten, otherwise, I think that Oracle is still the best.

During the previous administration, we collaborated with our customers, and we preferred to deploy the new Oracle systems to the cloud, perhaps we are working on the journey from Oracle system to cloud, which is based in Oracle Cloud. In general, I recommend the product. We have customers in Spain and Latin America, including Argentina, Peru, Chile, Brazil, and Mexico. We introduce and maintain Oracle for these customers. Alternatively, one of the major customers is Bank Santander, Bank Sabadell, or Kaiser, which are large banks with operations all over the world. We're collaborating with Oracle's architects and consulting solutions team in one part of the project and the Q&A in projects. We collaborate with Oracle consulting teams to deploy the solution in dashboards. I would rate Oracle Database a nine out of ten.
We're a customer and an end-user. We use both cloud-based and on-premises deployments. While I might have recommended Oracle in the past, due to the cost factor, it's hard to recommend it these days. I'd rate the solution at a seven out of ten.

We're now moving to no-code, the BI application. When you buy Oracle Database, it comes as a free tool and you can build anything you want in-house with Apex. You can bring in some developers and develop the application in-house. The solution is PaaS, Platform as a Service, but you can connect with the database and build what you want. Even functional people who don't know how to code, how to do SQL, are able to just drag and drop, building their application to manage and solve anything. I rate the solution nine out of 10.
Every thing starts with a proper foundation , so as with Oracle Database Architecture. Any one with solid architectural foundation will have a life long journey with Oracle Database. This knowledge includes conceptual understanding hands-on with scenario and solutions basis which will allow the DBA to get through with the product.

If a company is considering implementing this solution, I would advise that they first look at their requirements. A company should look to see whether they actually need an Oracle Database or not as it's a costly solution. It may be possible that the unique company requirements may be able to be covered via a cheaper database. However, they won't know for sure until they properly do an evaluation.

I would rate Oracle Database at eight out of 10. For those thinking about deploying the solution, my advice would to implement Oracle Database on physical servers to avoid noncompliance. And it will be less work to manage or calculate the required licenses on the physical server. If the customer wants to leverage the virtualization technology and has a more scalable environment, I would suggest having a dedicated cluster for Oracle products for licensing purposes. For example, if you keep five physical servers in a cluster, you need to license them only once. But if those five servers are running are part of five different clusters, you need to license all the five clusters. So having a dedicated cluster can save millions of dollars.

I rate Oracle Database 10 out of 10. I would recommend it. I've worked on many database solutions, like MySQL Server and Sybase, and Oracle is the best based on my experience. If you are considering implementing Oracle Database, I suggest thoroughly reading all the documentation first. Then, figure out a strategy for implementing it and all of the software you'll need. Before you start the setup, you should have full knowledge of the process.

I'm just a customer and an end-user. We used to use 12C, however, we recently moved to 19C. I would recommend the solution if the company has a budget and if you have a project that will provide revenue to cover the price for the actual product. If a company is going to start a product that will not give the right revenue at the beginning, I would suggest PostgreSQL. I would rate the product at an eight out of ten. It loses a few points mostly due to the high price tag.
When you are into domains such as NIC, BFSI, retail, and account switching, then Oracle Database is definitely your best option. There are some aspects of Oracle Database that need improvement, but it can still be considered a good solution. All in all, I would rate it at nine on a scale from one to ten.

I use multiple versions of the solution, including 12C and 11G. I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten. I'd recommend the solution to others. Oracle really is the best, even though the initial setup can be a bit difficult.
As I mentioned previously, as per our use cases, the features that Oracle is currently providing are more than enough. We haven't seen any new features that should be included because all the features that we need to support our business requirements are there. Oracle is a great DB. If you very heavily rely on it for very business-critical data and certain scaling is required or heavy requirements from the technology perspective, I would say Oracle is one of the best DB's. But for that you need to pay a heavy amount for the licensing costs. Everything is included in the package, but apart from a few additional features we also need to pay extra. On a scale of one to ten, I would give Oracle Database a 10.
Oracle seems to be losing power and losing customers in the last two to three years. However, I still think it's a good solution and rate it at nine on a scale from one to ten.
We use the solution in an organizational setting. There are between 30 and 40 licenses. I would not recommend this product to just anyone, only to technical professionals. I rate Oracle Database as an eight out of ten.

We're just a customer and an end-user. We don't have a business relationship with Oracle. We have our primary DB on Oracle 19C. We have to manage everything, including the frontend and backend. I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten. If it was more user-friendly, I would rate it higher. I would recommend Oracle Database to others. We have some colleagues who are doing some small-scale businesses. For them, it might not be suitable. Not everyone should get into Oracle. It is a standard product, however, you need to understand your exact requirements.
As a consultant for the last 40 years of my life, the conversation with anyone who wants to use a product would be a lot more in-depth and detailed where I'd be asking, "What is it you want to do? How do you want to do it? Where do you want to go?" It isn't the kind of thing for which I'd say, "Yeah, Oracle's a Swiss army knife, the best thing since sliced bread." It is one of the more robust products from a stability point of view. There is a bit of a learning curve. From a transaction point of view, if you have the right hardware, Oracle is probably as or more scalable than anybody else. If your application is going to be massively scalable, Oracle is probably your best tool. If you're just going to put together a small application for occasional users, there are easier tools to learn and use. Some of them are even by Oracle. I would rate Oracle Database an eight out of ten. It is a great product.

We are using Oracle Database and Oracle Storage, and those are the products we are mostly using. We are using the 12c version of Oracle Database, and it's on the cloud. The solution can be deployed both on cloud and on-premises. Oracle is our partner, but not a full partner. I would recommend Oracle Database, especially to financial institutions, e.g. entry-level or mid-level. On a scale of one to ten, I'll give Oracle Database an eight.

We are using the Enterprise version of Oracle Database, but I'm not sure about the exact version number. I'm satisfied with this product. Oracle is a global, top database platform, so there isn't anything I'd like to change or add to Oracle Database. We have 30 users of this product, and we currently don't have plans of increasing that number. For the deployment and maintenance of this product, we have two or three persons in charge, e.g. admins. I have no complaints about Oracle Database, so I never got to contact their technical support team. I'm recommending this product to others who are looking into implementing it. My rating for Oracle Database is eight out of ten.
I would recommend this solution to others. However, it does depend on different organizations and their needs. If the resources are a little heavy, which makes for disaster recovery planning, a little bit tricky. I would advise people to explore how their workloads would be and if they can be containerized in the cloud. That would make it way easier for them to manage them. The scalability of Oracle Database is very easy to grow or shrink as the need. I rate Oracle Database a nine out of ten.
I rate Oracle Database an eight out of ten. I rated the solution an eight because there is still a lot of improvement needed. The user experience could be better, the interfaces could improve. I know that there are a couple of new applications already out by Oracle, such as Oracle Analytical Services and Oracle Analytical Clouds, which are more user-friendly. Oracle needs to make databases more user-friendly and easier to work on. At this time we have to login into the front end and the backend to do a lot of configurations and it would be much better if we had some type of interface to work on. If I want to teach someone who is totally new to this environment, he or she might have worked in some other applications similar to Oracle Database, such as SQL Server or MySQL, but if I want them to learn in Oracle it can be difficult for us to teach them. It would be much better if the overall solution was easier to use.

I have experience with MicroStrategy and also with SQL server reporting tools. The last time I worked with MicroStrategy was two years ago. With Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services, I didn't work with it for a long time. I'm not currently working with it. I'm not much into development nowadays. The only tool I'm currently working with directly is any kind of database, or with Power BI, e.g. Oracle Database, SQL Server, Access, etc. In our organization, we don't use Oracle Database. In my own company, we don't use this solution, because it's being used on the client side. I'm working as a consultant, so I'm using it and most of the other tools, always on behalf of my clients. Deployment for this solution took an hour, and what I did was a fresh install, not an update. I just set up a new Oracle database to try out new things, and not for setting it up on the client site. I implemented it myself and didn't need a third party or a technical team to help with the deployment. I have no idea on the licensing costs of Oracle Database because it's the clients who pay for the licenses. If I would install a new database, I would not go for Oracle. If Oracle Database is currently installed in the company, then it's okay to use it, otherwise, I won't recommend it as a new installation. My reason for not recommending it to others is because of their bad license policy and how they've treated their customers badly, in the past. I'm giving Oracle Database a score of eight out of ten.
We have decided to use SAP ERP Enterprise and we plan to integrate it with Oracle. My advice for anybody who is considering Oracle Database is that as a tool, it's very easy to implement and you can customize it based on your processes or your job. In summary, this is a good product and it's user-friendly, but I like SAP better. I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.
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.
My advice is to others wanting to implement Oracle Database is to first look at the open-source products, such as MySQL, because sometimes they can do as good of a job as Oracle Database. I rate Oracle Database an eight out of ten.

If money is no object, it is a great product, but if you're worried about your budget, find another solution. I would rate it a 10 out of 10. It is a great product. It has been around forever. It works, but it is too expensive.
We are a customer and an end-user. In terms of deployments, you have an option to host it purely on-prem and you can arrange it to have some workloads on the cloud as well, as a hybrid approach. It is as if you are posting your databases on a private cloud in your own data center that way. Normally, if someone has to look at different database options available, they would prefer an open-source product. They would go with Oracle if the application they want to host is not supporting any other database but Oracle. If a company has to go with Oracle, it is best to look into the possibility of hosting it on some cloud rather than on-prem. I'd rate the solution at a seven out of ten. As a solution, it is not bad. The technology is great. It provides you with the features that you need. It is just that the cost and then the type of lock-in contract that you get into is not very attractive. As a product, from features and functionality alone, I would rate it a nine out of ten. However, when it comes to cost and other things, I'd rate it lower as there are open-source database options that are very good.

If you have the requirement of RDBMS and if you're posting logs there, then, I would suggest that you should go for Oracle. It all depends on your organization's technology roadmap. If a company is more inclined towards Microsoft technology, and they're inclined to Azure cloud, then probably they should go with an SQL Server. However, if they're inclined towards AWS or if they don't have any such consent, and if their costing allows, then Oracle is the best bet. I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten.
I would recommend this database solution to potential users, but it depends on their specific business needs. On a scale from one to ten, I would give Oracle Database an eight.
I would advise others this is a stable and scalable product, which you need to use in case you have, for example, huge data. If you would like to have more transactions and a secure platform, this is a good choice. I rate Oracle Database an eight out of ten.
There are many people making use of the solution in my organization, including developers, testers, end users and end application users. We may be talking about thousands. But when it comes to those with personal experience using the solution, we are talking about 40 or 50 people. We plan to continue using the solution, as there are certain applications of ours which must remain on Oracle Database. The solution is stable and has good performance. Licensing is the big issue we encounter. Were I to rate Oracle Database strictly on its technical capabilities, I would have to give it a rating of nine out ten. However, its licensing issues bring this rating down to seven.

If your purpose is to get into the relational schema then Oracle is the best. If you are interested in structured data then Oracle is the best choice. If you are interested in unstructured data then go with something else. I would rate Oracle Database and eight out of ten.

I'm a customer and end-user. I would advise organizations considering Oracle to not do on-premises. The best way, nowadays, is just to pay money to Oracle and use Oracle-managed databases from the cloud. They don't require a data center for the hardware. Cloud computing, is what people should do instead. I'd rate the solution at a ten out of ten. That said, I am aware that it is quite an expensive option for most organizations. Even our company, which is quite sizeable, finds the overhead costs high.

It is the cloud era, so everyone is talking about cloud solutions. Oracle must improve its solution to be equal to other cloud providers. Oracle Cloud still has a data center out of Indonesia as compared to other competitors who already have a local data center in Indonesia. A provider with a local data center will be the best if you are using an internet-based product or a cloud-based solution. Customers will prefer a solution that has a local data center because it eliminates the problems related to the network and performance. If Oracle has a local data center, the only thing that a customer will have to consider is the pricing. Oracle already has cheaper pricing than others, but cheaper pricing is not enough for a cloud solution at this point. Customers also expect good performance when they are accessing the cloud. I would rate Oracle Database a nine out of ten. I cannot give it a ten because there is no perfect product.

Currently, we're using the 12c version fo the solution and we're migrating over to the 18c version soon. We're mostly using the on-premises versions, however, we're likely to migrate over to the cloud in the future. Having used other products, I can say that hands down Oracle DB is a fantastic product. I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.
The advice I have for other people considering this solution is that if they have money then they should go for it. We do not experience performance issues or trouble with throughput. It is probably a good idea to do some research for use in documentation which can be searched or located on the Internet. I think every company that is looking into creating value from their software assets, they have to do research or evaluation first on the Internet. They should be sure, before making an investment that the product fits their requirements, probably they will contact a distributor or supplier to get the product. The next important step would be the proof of concept. They must try to do a POC or work with a demo and see if the Oracle Database can solve the pain points that they are having right now. One factor they can not forget is the budget. If the product fits their needs but not their budget, they will have to try to fit their budget to the product and make it work perhaps by scaling usage. On the scale from one to ten, with one being the worst and ten being the best, I would rate Oracle Database as probably around and eight-out-of-ten. That is a good rating. The price is really the only thing which is holding it back from a better score.
We are an Oracle Platinum Partner. I'd first advise any company considering Oracle to learn the benefits first before they talk about the pricing. We like to do an assessment with the customer right away. The first thing we need to know is their pain points and basic requirement and also if they have a common problem in their system. I will judge that against the benefits of Oracle's technology, which is in the database. At the end of the day, if the features can solve your problem, then money comes as a secondary concern. I'd rate the solution nine out of ten. There isn't a perfect solution on the market, however, this comes pretty close.
I'm not reselling this product. I'm using this for designing my own product, and I'm giving it as a solution to my customer. If I need to work out pricing for my customer, there may be my own raw materials that come into play. The raw materials that come into play should be considered in order to make a better pricing model, which in turn can help me get a better solution for my clients. If the base product that you use is so expensive, like this is, it doesn't make sense. I would start looking at other products. That's what I'm doing. I need to better scale my capabilities. I'd recommend Mongo Database over this product for that reason. I'd rate the solution overall eight out of ten. It's very good. It's just a bit too expensive for my purposes.
We started using version 7 of Oracle, and now, after so many years on the product, we are up to version 12. We have six different main production databases that we use for various things. They're all on-premise. They either run in a Linux environment or IBM AIX Unix environment. And we also use a backup Oracle cloud for backing up some of those databases. The main advice I would give other organizations would be to prepare for the costs. Oracle is kind of more expensive than in most other database software. It's also important to have a good understanding of how Oracle works and the programming. It's quite specialized. However, if you're implementing a big database environment, you need to know that anyway. Oracle is, I would say, probably the top database provider in the world. Having a big name, for us, was good because we've got other contracts from outside firms that trust us because we house our data with Oracle. At the end of the day, you get what you pay for, and we don't mind paying more for the peace of mind we get from this solution. I would rate the solution nine out of ten mostly due to the fact that it's a very solid platform and it's robust and it's scalable. It's the Cadillac of the database world.

I would recommend Oracle Database if you have enough money and you need a big, stable system in which performance is important. We are starting to think about other solutions because of money and because of the cloud. Oracle is on the cloud, but we have started thinking about another cloud, which could use PostgreSQL and Microsoft Server. That may be our solution in the future. The most important criteria when selecting a vendor are their ability to handle a huge volume of data, security, and then price. Price is not the first one, but it's an important one. And finally, the cloud could be important. I would rate Oracle Database at nine out of ten because of the stability and because they try to improve the product in every release. The next release is always better than the previous one. From release to release, we get more performance, which is really good. Even if you aren't a DBA, there a lot of features that you can put to use by yourself.
When selecting a vendor, the most important thing is that they have people who know the business. We have some databases, for example, for which it is very rare to find a person who knows something about them. Knowledge is important. Support of the product is very, important as well. We need to know where to go, who to ask, who will actually help us out with the problems. Of course, bringing new innovations and being out front with what is happening in the advancing of the technology are also important. My advice, especially for big companies today, would be to go to the cloud on-premises when starting out, which allows you to incorporate all the latest versions from Oracle yet have the infrastructure managed by the Oracle Cloud support team. It gives you the ability to utilize the best of Oracle and to scale when you need to. For smaller companies, the main reason they are not going with Oracle today is the pricing/licensing. I hope that, in the future, Oracle will do something about that so we'll once again see small companies beginning with Oracle, something that we don’t see today.
When choosing a vendor it's important to me that it is a good brand, that they have a good name in the market, and that the solution comes closest to meeting my needs. I would definitely recommend this solution.

Oracle has a very good database, but it is very expensive today, and there are a lot of competitors. Main criteria for selecting a vendor: * Name * Release of new versions * Stability.
Oracle Database is a top-ranking multi-model database management system by Oracle Corporation. Through Oracle database services and products, clients receive cost-optimized and high-performing versions of Oracle Database, as well as in-memory, NoSQL, and MySQL databases. The solution is available by several service providers on premises, in the cloud, or as a hybrid installation. It can be run on vendor servers as well as on Oracle hardware, including Exadata on-premise, Oracle Cloud, or...
We work with various technologies, including Microsoft, MongoDB, and others, and Oracle integrates well with all solutions. I rate it a ten out of ten.
I use Oracle Database in our company's daily operations as we have a data pipeline which can cleanse the database. We have many connectors to ingest the data in Oracle Database. In the data lake, we do perform transformation, after which the cleansed data is moved to the warehouse. The security features of Oracle Database match our data protection needs since it provides a particular user ID and a password while binding to the roles and privileges, like in the case of admin accounts and user accounts. When it comes to data analysis, the tool has a very huge kind of data in it. In our company, we used to write queries, and Oracle helped us analyze the data, after which we can select a particular data set based on what we require. The queries are very fast. The migration from Oracle Database 18c to Oracle Database 19c has affected my operations because I think that some of the features are being deprecated during each of the migration processes. I can rate the whole migration process as seven out of ten. I started with Oracle Linux 7, and now I use Oracle Database 21c. The tool has matured and is good. I recommend the tool to others. It is better to use Oracle's functions, whichever will improve scalability and app performance. The tool has many areas that will help us query data, code data, and perform analytics. I rate the tool an eight out of ten.
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.
I rate the overall solution an eight out of ten. Consider starting with an open-source database instead of Oracle Database, as the enterprise versions and licensing costs can be quite significant.
Oracle Database is on-premises, and we want it migrated to the cloud. If you're a new organization to start with an IT role or IT design, start with the cloud. If you are an old user of IT infrastructures, then it's high time to migrate from on-premises solutions to the cloud. It was easy to migrate to Oracle Database from another database system. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.
Oracle Database is the best based on stability and high performance. I recommend this solution. Overall, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.
I recommend leveraging Oracle's logging capabilities, as it can efficiently offload tasks such as reporting, backups, and more. This allows for utilising commodity platforms, reducing reliance on proprietary systems and enabling the adoption of internal IMD platforms. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
Currently, my company uses the tool for record-keeping purposes, specifically for some information. My company uses Power BI for real-time data analytics. The critical applications our company runs on Oracle Database are attached to areas involving invoicing and financial systems. The security features of Oracle Database are good, reliable, and stable. The cloud-based solution available is good for those who plan to start using the tool. Instead of choosing the on-premises version, people can go with the tool's cloud-based version. Potential uses of the product should attempt to start small, and then when the need arises, they can grow the tool's usage capacity. The tool offers fallback, resilience, and redundancy features, which you can always add whenever required. Though I have never tried to use the migration capabilities of the product, I know that there is a process for using it, which is not very difficult but sometimes time-consuming. I rate the product an eight out of ten.
We are solution partners. Oracle Database is an enterprise solution with high availability. It's for professionals. Overall, I rate the product a seven out of ten.
You need an experienced Oracle administrator to maintain the solution. Overall, I rate the solution a six out of ten.
It is not very easy to maintain Oracle Database. We need nearly twenty people in India to maintain the solution. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
If you need a better product, then you need to plan the budget accordingly.
My advice to others is this solution is great in capabilities and functionality but it is too expensive. I rate Oracle Database a seven out of ten.
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.
I would recommend Oracle Database to others - it's a well-developed solution and is accepted on the market. I would give it a rating of eight out of ten.

We are happy with Oracle Database. I rate Oracle Database a right out of ten.
I would recommend starting with the SaaS model cloud platform. You can start at a small scale, and then you can expand based on your requirements. You can start with a small investment and grow as your business is growing. We are going to explore the autonomous part. It has already been improved. We'll start using that area, but because we are already using this one, and it is stable, we didn't try to use the autonomous side. That would be the area that would be most useful for us in terms of the SaaS solution. I would rate it a nine out of ten.
As databases go, Oracle Database is quite a good database with decent performance, and I think that's all there needs to be said. I would rate it an eight out of ten.
I believe they should also devote more time to learning Oracle. They will also notice that Oracle is not difficult to install or administer if best practices are followed. And, depending on your goals, I believe anyone can do it. Because Oracle Database has so many features, you can do audit vaults and data guides on it, depending on how you want to run your business. Another thing I would recommend is that people be aware that Oracle has opened its website for people to sign up for free and then download the software for practice, study, or training purposes only. If you intend to use it for production purposes, that is when you should purchase a license. Because of the prices, I would rate Oracle Database a nine out of ten, otherwise, I think that Oracle is still the best.
During the previous administration, we collaborated with our customers, and we preferred to deploy the new Oracle systems to the cloud, perhaps we are working on the journey from Oracle system to cloud, which is based in Oracle Cloud. In general, I recommend the product. We have customers in Spain and Latin America, including Argentina, Peru, Chile, Brazil, and Mexico. We introduce and maintain Oracle for these customers. Alternatively, one of the major customers is Bank Santander, Bank Sabadell, or Kaiser, which are large banks with operations all over the world. We're collaborating with Oracle's architects and consulting solutions team in one part of the project and the Q&A in projects. We collaborate with Oracle consulting teams to deploy the solution in dashboards. I would rate Oracle Database a nine out of ten.
It is a very good product, especially for large sites. I would rate it a nine out of 10.
We're a customer and an end-user. We use both cloud-based and on-premises deployments. While I might have recommended Oracle in the past, due to the cost factor, it's hard to recommend it these days. I'd rate the solution at a seven out of ten.

My advice regarding this solution is that you need a lot of practice. It would be great if Oracle could provide a platform to practice implementations. I would rate the solution an eight out of ten.
I rate Oracle Database an eight out of ten, according to performance and scalability. In terms of migration abilities, I would rate it a six out of ten because it's very difficult. I would recommend Oracle Database to others, especially for their new cloud policy and their subscription amount for the resources.
We're now moving to no-code, the BI application. When you buy Oracle Database, it comes as a free tool and you can build anything you want in-house with Apex. You can bring in some developers and develop the application in-house. The solution is PaaS, Platform as a Service, but you can connect with the database and build what you want. Even functional people who don't know how to code, how to do SQL, are able to just drag and drop, building their application to manage and solve anything. I rate the solution nine out of 10.
I would rate this solution 10 out of 10.
Every thing starts with a proper foundation , so as with Oracle Database Architecture. Any one with solid architectural foundation will have a life long journey with Oracle Database. This knowledge includes conceptual understanding hands-on with scenario and solutions basis which will allow the DBA to get through with the product. This What I am doing in the trainings that I conduct - www.youtube.com I would give the solution a nine out of ten.
I would tell potential users that they need to use Oracle Database if they need security. It's great and the best. You can also use various software in our database. On a scale from one to ten, I would give Oracle Database a ten.

In terms of versions, we are using currently 11G and we are planning to move to 12G in a couple of months. I'd rate the solution at a ten out of ten. I would recommend this solution to others considering implementing it.
I don't have anything against Oracle, I think it's the best database in the world. It's completely different from SQL and more powerful. The latest Oracle product, the Autonomous Database will be a leading solution. SQL is better for medium size companies and Oracle is geared to enterprise organizations. I rate this solution eight out of 10.
I do recommend Oracle Database to anyone considering it. On a scale of one to ten, I would give it a nine.
I would advise making sure that you train properly. I would rate this solution an eight out of 10.
We are a customer and an end-user. I'd advise those considering the solution to always keep their logs on a different database. Also, they have to make sure the parameterization they do in their initial setup is very, very extensively thought out. I'd rate the solution at a seven out of ten.
I would recommend this solution to others. I would rate Oracle Database an eight out of ten.
Both SQL Server and Oracle Database are deployed as private clouds. I rate Oracle Database as a nine out of ten.
It's important to evaluate the availability in a corporate database. It's also worth assessing how the database is protected against cyber attacks and how difficult it is to maintain and administer it. I rate this solution nine out of 10.
I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten. We've been very pleased with the solution over the years. If a company is considering implementing this solution, I would advise that they first look at their requirements. A company should look to see whether they actually need an Oracle Database or not as it's a costly solution. It may be possible that the unique company requirements may be able to be covered via a cheaper database. However, they won't know for sure until they properly do an evaluation.
I would rate Oracle Database at eight out of 10. For those thinking about deploying the solution, my advice would to implement Oracle Database on physical servers to avoid noncompliance. And it will be less work to manage or calculate the required licenses on the physical server. If the customer wants to leverage the virtualization technology and has a more scalable environment, I would suggest having a dedicated cluster for Oracle products for licensing purposes. For example, if you keep five physical servers in a cluster, you need to license them only once. But if those five servers are running are part of five different clusters, you need to license all the five clusters. So having a dedicated cluster can save millions of dollars.
I rate Oracle Database 10 out of 10. I would definitely recommend it.
I would recommend PostgreSQL for long-term use. I haven't seen an alternative if they need a reliable and secure solution for a mission-critical quality control system, because Microsoft lacks enterprise features and PostgreSQL isn't well-established in banking. I would rate Oracle Database an eight out of ten.
I rate Oracle Database 10 out of 10. I would recommend it. I've worked on many database solutions, like MySQL Server and Sybase, and Oracle is the best based on my experience. If you are considering implementing Oracle Database, I suggest thoroughly reading all the documentation first. Then, figure out a strategy for implementing it and all of the software you'll need. Before you start the setup, you should have full knowledge of the process.
I would rate Oracle Database six out of 10. I don't like it at all. We're only using it because it's bundled with SAP. I would not recommend it to others.
I cannot speak to which version of the solution we're using at this time. I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten. I've been pretty happy with its capabilities overall. I would recommend the solution to others. If you look at the progress being made in Oracle, they are coming up with and bringing up some new features. It sounds good. They are more into the cloud now, too, and getting into new features and stuff like that there. They're improving constantly.
I would recommend this solution to others. It's a good database. I would rate Oracle Database an eight out of ten.
The solution is cloud-based. I would recommend it to others. I rate Oracle Database as an eight out of ten.
I'm just a customer and an end-user. We used to use 12C, however, we recently moved to 19C. I would recommend the solution if the company has a budget and if you have a project that will provide revenue to cover the price for the actual product. If a company is going to start a product that will not give the right revenue at the beginning, I would suggest PostgreSQL. I would rate the product at an eight out of ten. It loses a few points mostly due to the high price tag.
I would recommend this solution to others who are interested in using it. I would rate Oracle Database a seven out of ten.
When you are into domains such as NIC, BFSI, retail, and account switching, then Oracle Database is definitely your best option. There are some aspects of Oracle Database that need improvement, but it can still be considered a good solution. All in all, I would rate it at nine on a scale from one to ten.
We are simply customers and end-users. We don't have a business relationship with Oracle. I use various versions of the solution, however, every year, they release a new version and I end to install it. I use multiple deployment models, including on-premises and cloud. I'd give the solution a perfect ten out of ten rating. It really is a fantastic product. We've been very happy with its capabilities and reliability.
I would definitely recommend this solution to others. Overall, on a scale from one to ten, I would give Oracle Database a rating of eight.
Oracle is the best database solution in the world. I would recommend this solution to others. I rate Oracle Database a nine out of ten.
I can't recall the exact version number of the solution, however, it's my understanding that it is version 11. I'd rate the product at a nine out of ten. We've been quite pleased with the overall capabilities so far. I'd recommend the solution to other users and companies. We've been very happy with its capabilities overall.
I use multiple versions of the solution, including 12C and 11G. I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten. I'd recommend the solution to others. Oracle really is the best, even though the initial setup can be a bit difficult.
Overall, on a scale from one to ten, I would give this solution a rating of nine.
As I mentioned previously, as per our use cases, the features that Oracle is currently providing are more than enough. We haven't seen any new features that should be included because all the features that we need to support our business requirements are there. Oracle is a great DB. If you very heavily rely on it for very business-critical data and certain scaling is required or heavy requirements from the technology perspective, I would say Oracle is one of the best DB's. But for that you need to pay a heavy amount for the licensing costs. Everything is included in the package, but apart from a few additional features we also need to pay extra. On a scale of one to ten, I would give Oracle Database a 10.
Oracle seems to be losing power and losing customers in the last two to three years. However, I still think it's a good solution and rate it at nine on a scale from one to ten.
We use the solution in an organizational setting. There are between 30 and 40 licenses. I would not recommend this product to just anyone, only to technical professionals. I rate Oracle Database as an eight out of ten.
I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten. It's mostly been a positive experience, working with the product. Between Oracle and SQL, I would recommend SQL to other users and companies.
We're just a customer and an end-user. We don't have a business relationship with Oracle. We have our primary DB on Oracle 19C. We have to manage everything, including the frontend and backend. I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten. If it was more user-friendly, I would rate it higher. I would recommend Oracle Database to others. We have some colleagues who are doing some small-scale businesses. For them, it might not be suitable. Not everyone should get into Oracle. It is a standard product, however, you need to understand your exact requirements.
On a scale from one to ten, I would give Oracle Database an eight.
As a consultant for the last 40 years of my life, the conversation with anyone who wants to use a product would be a lot more in-depth and detailed where I'd be asking, "What is it you want to do? How do you want to do it? Where do you want to go?" It isn't the kind of thing for which I'd say, "Yeah, Oracle's a Swiss army knife, the best thing since sliced bread." It is one of the more robust products from a stability point of view. There is a bit of a learning curve. From a transaction point of view, if you have the right hardware, Oracle is probably as or more scalable than anybody else. If your application is going to be massively scalable, Oracle is probably your best tool. If you're just going to put together a small application for occasional users, there are easier tools to learn and use. Some of them are even by Oracle. I would rate Oracle Database an eight out of ten. It is a great product.
I would recommend this product. I rate this solution a 10 out of 10.
We plan to continue using the solution in the future. I rate Oracle Database an eight out of ten.
We always use the on-premises deployment model. We never use cloud-based deployment models. I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten overall. We are quite happy with the capabilities. It's a very, very good database.
We are using the latest version of the solution. I cannot recall the exact version number at this time. I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten.
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.
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.
I would recommend Oracle Database to potential users. But I would tell them that it depends on their main goal. It depends on how they want to use the database. They also have to consider the costs because Oracle is more expensive. On a scale from one to ten, I would give Oracle Database an eight.
While we mostly work with on-premises deployments, I've recently also tried the cloud deployment. We work with a variety of versions, including 11G, 12C, and 18C. I recommend Oracle. I always do. They are an excellent company with a very good product. I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten. Everyone should keep in mind that the way of the future is to move to the cloud. Oracle is working to support this. They're encouraging everyone to move to the cloud.
In summary, this is a good product and I recommend it. For people who have a huge volume of data and they need good response time, Oracle is a good choice for them. I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.
We are customers and end-users. Recently, we've upgraded EBS to a later version. I'd recommend the solution to other organizations. That said, it all depends on what you're trying to support. I use it in conjunction with their EBS, so, for me, it's the perfect fit. You can't split it anyway. Oracle EBS only works with an Oracle Database. I'd rate the solution ten out of ten overall.
I would recommend this solution to others. Overall, on a scale from one to ten, I would give Oracle Database a rating of eight.
I would recommend this solution. We plan to keep using this solution. I would rate Oracle Database a nine out of ten.
I would recommend this solution to others if they are very particular about formatted and structured data. I would rate Oracle Database a nine out of ten.
I would rate Oracle 8 out of 10.
We recommend the solution from Oracle and I would rate the solution 8 out of 10.
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.
Oracle Database is highly parameterized and is so flexible. You can design the databases the way you want to. A lot of parameters are there, and the documentation is perfect. I would recommend Oracle Database and rate it at nine on a scale from one to ten.
I would recommend this solution to potential users. On a scale from one to ten, I would give Oracle Database a nine.
We are using Oracle Database and Oracle Storage, and those are the products we are mostly using. We are using the 12c version of Oracle Database, and it's on the cloud. The solution can be deployed both on cloud and on-premises. Oracle is our partner, but not a full partner. I would recommend Oracle Database, especially to financial institutions, e.g. entry-level or mid-level. On a scale of one to ten, I'll give Oracle Database an eight.
We are using the Enterprise version of Oracle Database, but I'm not sure about the exact version number. I'm satisfied with this product. Oracle is a global, top database platform, so there isn't anything I'd like to change or add to Oracle Database. We have 30 users of this product, and we currently don't have plans of increasing that number. For the deployment and maintenance of this product, we have two or three persons in charge, e.g. admins. I have no complaints about Oracle Database, so I never got to contact their technical support team. I'm recommending this product to others who are looking into implementing it. My rating for Oracle Database is eight out of ten.
I would recommend this solution to others. However, it does depend on different organizations and their needs. If the resources are a little heavy, which makes for disaster recovery planning, a little bit tricky. I would advise people to explore how their workloads would be and if they can be containerized in the cloud. That would make it way easier for them to manage them. The scalability of Oracle Database is very easy to grow or shrink as the need. I rate Oracle Database a nine out of ten.
I rate Oracle Database an eight out of ten. I rated the solution an eight because there is still a lot of improvement needed. The user experience could be better, the interfaces could improve. I know that there are a couple of new applications already out by Oracle, such as Oracle Analytical Services and Oracle Analytical Clouds, which are more user-friendly. Oracle needs to make databases more user-friendly and easier to work on. At this time we have to login into the front end and the backend to do a lot of configurations and it would be much better if we had some type of interface to work on. If I want to teach someone who is totally new to this environment, he or she might have worked in some other applications similar to Oracle Database, such as SQL Server or MySQL, but if I want them to learn in Oracle it can be difficult for us to teach them. It would be much better if the overall solution was easier to use.
In the future, we will most likely be using an open-source database solution because Oracle Database is expensive. I rate Oracle Database a nine out of ten.
I have experience with MicroStrategy and also with SQL server reporting tools. The last time I worked with MicroStrategy was two years ago. With Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services, I didn't work with it for a long time. I'm not currently working with it. I'm not much into development nowadays. The only tool I'm currently working with directly is any kind of database, or with Power BI, e.g. Oracle Database, SQL Server, Access, etc. In our organization, we don't use Oracle Database. In my own company, we don't use this solution, because it's being used on the client side. I'm working as a consultant, so I'm using it and most of the other tools, always on behalf of my clients. Deployment for this solution took an hour, and what I did was a fresh install, not an update. I just set up a new Oracle database to try out new things, and not for setting it up on the client site. I implemented it myself and didn't need a third party or a technical team to help with the deployment. I have no idea on the licensing costs of Oracle Database because it's the clients who pay for the licenses. If I would install a new database, I would not go for Oracle. If Oracle Database is currently installed in the company, then it's okay to use it, otherwise, I won't recommend it as a new installation. My reason for not recommending it to others is because of their bad license policy and how they've treated their customers badly, in the past. I'm giving Oracle Database a score of eight out of ten.
We have decided to use SAP ERP Enterprise and we plan to integrate it with Oracle. My advice for anybody who is considering Oracle Database is that as a tool, it's very easy to implement and you can customize it based on your processes or your job. In summary, this is a good product and it's user-friendly, but I like SAP better. I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.
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.
My advice is to others wanting to implement Oracle Database is to first look at the open-source products, such as MySQL, because sometimes they can do as good of a job as Oracle Database. I rate Oracle Database an eight out of ten.
If money is no object, it is a great product, but if you're worried about your budget, find another solution. I would rate it a 10 out of 10. It is a great product. It has been around forever. It works, but it is too expensive.
We are a customer and an end-user. In terms of deployments, you have an option to host it purely on-prem and you can arrange it to have some workloads on the cloud as well, as a hybrid approach. It is as if you are posting your databases on a private cloud in your own data center that way. Normally, if someone has to look at different database options available, they would prefer an open-source product. They would go with Oracle if the application they want to host is not supporting any other database but Oracle. If a company has to go with Oracle, it is best to look into the possibility of hosting it on some cloud rather than on-prem. I'd rate the solution at a seven out of ten. As a solution, it is not bad. The technology is great. It provides you with the features that you need. It is just that the cost and then the type of lock-in contract that you get into is not very attractive. As a product, from features and functionality alone, I would rate it a nine out of ten. However, when it comes to cost and other things, I'd rate it lower as there are open-source database options that are very good.
We use Oracle E-Business Suite and Oracle Utilities. They have advertisements, and since Oracle Databases are used by 60% of the world, they don't need my recommendation; they are already publicizing it. I would rate Oracle Database a seven out of ten.
If you have the requirement of RDBMS and if you're posting logs there, then, I would suggest that you should go for Oracle. It all depends on your organization's technology roadmap. If a company is more inclined towards Microsoft technology, and they're inclined to Azure cloud, then probably they should go with an SQL Server. However, if they're inclined towards AWS or if they don't have any such consent, and if their costing allows, then Oracle is the best bet. I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten.
I would recommend this database solution to potential users, but it depends on their specific business needs. On a scale from one to ten, I would give Oracle Database an eight.
The solution is privately deployed and solely with on-premises products. I develop solutions. I rate Oracle Database as a nine out of ten.
I would recommend Oracle Database to new users if they can afford the price. On a scale from one to ten, I would give Oracle Database a ten.
I would advise others this is a stable and scalable product, which you need to use in case you have, for example, huge data. If you would like to have more transactions and a secure platform, this is a good choice. I rate Oracle Database an eight out of ten.
I would recommend this solution to others. I rate Oracle Database a nine out of ten.
I rate Oracle Database 10 out of 10. It's an excellent product. I would definitely recommend Oracle Database to others.
There are many people making use of the solution in my organization, including developers, testers, end users and end application users. We may be talking about thousands. But when it comes to those with personal experience using the solution, we are talking about 40 or 50 people. We plan to continue using the solution, as there are certain applications of ours which must remain on Oracle Database. The solution is stable and has good performance. Licensing is the big issue we encounter. Were I to rate Oracle Database strictly on its technical capabilities, I would have to give it a rating of nine out ten. However, its licensing issues bring this rating down to seven.
I would recommend this solution to others. It is a good performing database on medium to large data sets. The SQL Developer is a full-function user interface. I rate Oracle Database a seven out of ten.
If I had the choice to pick between Orcale Database or SQL Server, I would choose SQL Server. I rate Oracle Database a seven out of ten.
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.
In NFC Cameroon the solution is deployed on-premises. When it comes to Oracle Database, certain companies are deployed on-cloud and others on-premises. We have yet to deploy on cloud. We have many clients, ranging from medium sized to very large. We have assisted more than ten clients in implementing the solution in our data center. I rate Oracle Database as an eight out of ten.
I rate Oracle Database an eight out of ten.
We're just a customer and an end-user. I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten. I'd rate it at a perfect ten if the could and on-premises versions we treated with equal weight, and they didn't try to simply push cloud on users. On the enterprise level, it's very stable and reliable. It's great if users are looking for enterprise quality. However, there are options available in the Unix and Linux systems as well.
I would recommend Oracle Database and rate it at eight on a scale from one to ten.
I would recommend this solution. Everything is good in Oracle Database. It is very good performance-wise, and that's the reason most people prefer Oracle Database. I would rate Oracle Database a nine out of ten.
Oracle Database is a popular product that is used around the world and has a very large market share, compared to SAP. In summary, this is a product that is really stable and flexible with a user-friendly interface, and I recommend it. I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.
I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.
It's a pretty good solution. It's secure in the market for relational databases. It's been the best storage for several years. If your purpose is to get into the relational schema then Oracle is the best. If you are interested in structured data then Oracle is the best choice. If you are interested in unstructured data then go with something else. I would rate Oracle Database and eight out of ten.
We are a customer and an end-user. We don't have a professional business relationship with Oracle. I would rate this solution, on a scale from one to ten, at a ten. We are extremely satisfied with its capabilities. I would recommend the solution to other organizations and users.
Oracle is good for large scale environments. New startups MUST always think of other options before going to Oracle.
I'm a customer and end-user. I would advise organizations considering Oracle to not do on-premises. The best way, nowadays, is just to pay money to Oracle and use Oracle-managed databases from the cloud. They don't require a data center for the hardware. Cloud computing, is what people should do instead. I'd rate the solution at a ten out of ten. That said, I am aware that it is quite an expensive option for most organizations. Even our company, which is quite sizeable, finds the overhead costs high.
I rate this product a 10 out of 10.
We are currently evaluating solutions to purchase. Some of the solutions that we are considering are AlgoSec, Skybox, and Toughen. We are currently managing our firewall manually, which is why we are looking for an automated tool. I would rate Oracle Database a seven out of ten.
I rate Oracle Database an eight out of ten.
We're just a customer and end-user. I've used various versions of the solution, starting with 10 and moving to 18. We're still a few versions back, and therefore aren't using the latest. The latest is 20 and they are about to release 21. I'd advise those considering implementing the solution to do some preparation beforehand. This will help ensure a successful setup. I would rate the solution nine out of ten. There are some improvements that can be made here and there. However, it's largely stable and works well.
I would recommend it if it is necessary, but you need to have the budget to purchase it. I would rate Oracle Database a six out of ten.
I would rate Oracle Database a nine out of ten. My experience as an end-user has been good with this solution. I have not used any other product or have knowledge of any other product.
I would rate Oracle Database a seven out of ten.
Definitely, I would recommend this solution to others. I would rate Oracle Database a nine out of ten.
We're just customers and end-users. We don't have a partnership or special business relationship with Oracle. I really enjoy using the solution. It is stable and reliable. It's more expensive than Microsoft's options, however, I personally prefer working with it. It's worth the extra money. Aside from stability issues and a certain level of complexity, it's quite a good solution. I would rate it eight out of ten.
I would recommend Oracle Database, I love Oracle. I rate Oracle Database a ten out of ten.
The Oracle Database is a monster, with many faces and many parts. It can be used for everything. I cannot see any room for major improvement, other than perhaps the price. I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.
I rate Oracle Database a nine out of ten.
I would recommend this product. I rate Oracle Database a seven out of ten.
Depending on the budget and the device, I would recommend this solution to others who are interested in using it. If you have the money, then you should invest in this product, because you can't compare it with anything else on the market as far as a database is concerned. I would rate Oracle Database a nine out of ten.
I think this is a good solution because it's easy to administer and manage but it requires the right skilled people. It's not ideal for our requirements but it's improving, whether it's encryption or security, I know they'll get there eventually. I would rate this solution a seven out of 10.
I recommend this solution to others who are interested in using it. I would rate Oracle Database a seven out of ten.
I would definitely recommend this solution. Oracle is already an established product. It doesn't depend on my recommendation. We will keep using this solution because we need to keep our data within our premises for our business model. As of now, we have no plans to go to the cloud and use any of the cloud services. I would rate Oracle Database a nine out of ten.
I would rate Oracle database 7 out of 10. To get this up to 10 they would need to improve the interface.
We are definitely going to keep using it. There is no better product than this. I would 100% recommend this solution to others as long as they can bear the cost. It is the best product, and it covers most of our needs. I would rate Oracle Database a ten out of ten.
We will continue to use this solution in the future. I wouldn't recommend Oracle Database to others who are planning to use it. I would rate it a seven out of ten.
It is the cloud era, so everyone is talking about cloud solutions. Oracle must improve its solution to be equal to other cloud providers. Oracle Cloud still has a data center out of Indonesia as compared to other competitors who already have a local data center in Indonesia. A provider with a local data center will be the best if you are using an internet-based product or a cloud-based solution. Customers will prefer a solution that has a local data center because it eliminates the problems related to the network and performance. If Oracle has a local data center, the only thing that a customer will have to consider is the pricing. Oracle already has cheaper pricing than others, but cheaper pricing is not enough for a cloud solution at this point. Customers also expect good performance when they are accessing the cloud. I would rate Oracle Database a nine out of ten. I cannot give it a ten because there is no perfect product.
They are coming up with lots of features that will allow a lot of work to be done with respect to the database. They are going to give JSON storage, where JSON objects can be directly stored. I would rate Oracle Database an eight out of ten.
This is certainly a product that I recommend for large enterprises. However, for smaller companies, we can use an open-source database. That said, if you need something that is highly available and scalable then you have to choose Oracle Database. I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.
We work closely with many integrator companies, however, we don't have a business relationship with Oracle. I'm a technical architect, so I just make some recommendations, and that's all. I'd recommend the solution, so long as you aren't working with very very Big Data like we are. I could also recommend Axway, which I believe is also good. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.
Currently, we're using the 12c version fo the solution and we're migrating over to the 18c version soon. We're mostly using the on-premises versions, however, we're likely to migrate over to the cloud in the future. Having used other products, I can say that hands down Oracle DB is a fantastic product. I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.
The advice I have for other people considering this solution is that if they have money then they should go for it. We do not experience performance issues or trouble with throughput. It is probably a good idea to do some research for use in documentation which can be searched or located on the Internet. I think every company that is looking into creating value from their software assets, they have to do research or evaluation first on the Internet. They should be sure, before making an investment that the product fits their requirements, probably they will contact a distributor or supplier to get the product. The next important step would be the proof of concept. They must try to do a POC or work with a demo and see if the Oracle Database can solve the pain points that they are having right now. One factor they can not forget is the budget. If the product fits their needs but not their budget, they will have to try to fit their budget to the product and make it work perhaps by scaling usage. On the scale from one to ten, with one being the worst and ten being the best, I would rate Oracle Database as probably around and eight-out-of-ten. That is a good rating. The price is really the only thing which is holding it back from a better score.
We are an Oracle Platinum Partner. I'd first advise any company considering Oracle to learn the benefits first before they talk about the pricing. We like to do an assessment with the customer right away. The first thing we need to know is their pain points and basic requirement and also if they have a common problem in their system. I will judge that against the benefits of Oracle's technology, which is in the database. At the end of the day, if the features can solve your problem, then money comes as a secondary concern. I'd rate the solution nine out of ten. There isn't a perfect solution on the market, however, this comes pretty close.
I do more than 70% of work on an Oracle database, which is why I would recommend it to others. I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.
I'm not reselling this product. I'm using this for designing my own product, and I'm giving it as a solution to my customer. If I need to work out pricing for my customer, there may be my own raw materials that come into play. The raw materials that come into play should be considered in order to make a better pricing model, which in turn can help me get a better solution for my clients. If the base product that you use is so expensive, like this is, it doesn't make sense. I would start looking at other products. That's what I'm doing. I need to better scale my capabilities. I'd recommend Mongo Database over this product for that reason. I'd rate the solution overall eight out of ten. It's very good. It's just a bit too expensive for my purposes.
We started using version 7 of Oracle, and now, after so many years on the product, we are up to version 12. We have six different main production databases that we use for various things. They're all on-premise. They either run in a Linux environment or IBM AIX Unix environment. And we also use a backup Oracle cloud for backing up some of those databases. The main advice I would give other organizations would be to prepare for the costs. Oracle is kind of more expensive than in most other database software. It's also important to have a good understanding of how Oracle works and the programming. It's quite specialized. However, if you're implementing a big database environment, you need to know that anyway. Oracle is, I would say, probably the top database provider in the world. Having a big name, for us, was good because we've got other contracts from outside firms that trust us because we house our data with Oracle. At the end of the day, you get what you pay for, and we don't mind paying more for the peace of mind we get from this solution. I would rate the solution nine out of ten mostly due to the fact that it's a very solid platform and it's robust and it's scalable. It's the Cadillac of the database world.
Our organization is partners with Oracle. We mostly implement the solution on-premise because our customer is a governmental agency. The protocol is that they cannot store information on the cloud as it is far too sensitive. I would advise other organizations to try it out. I'd recommend the solution. I would rate the solution about eight out of ten. I would rate it higher if the licensing costs were not so high.
It's a very good product. I'd recommend it. It's very robust. It's scalable. On side of security, it's a very secure product. And support is available from Oracle via their local partners. We are already very satisfied with this product and I would recommend it to other users as well. I'd rate it eight out of ten.
We're not an Oracle partner. We're just a customer. We're quite comfortable with this solution at the moment. It provides us with everything we need. I'd highly recommend Oracle Database to other companies and users. We haven't had any issues at all using it aside from a few small technical issues. It's good software. It's very stable and reliable. Personally, I would rate the solution nine out of ten. It's almost perfect.
The enterprise Oracle Manager is very good. It is an expensive solution, so I will rate this product a nine out of ten.
I would recommend Oracle Database if you have enough money and you need a big, stable system in which performance is important. We are starting to think about other solutions because of money and because of the cloud. Oracle is on the cloud, but we have started thinking about another cloud, which could use PostgreSQL and Microsoft Server. That may be our solution in the future. The most important criteria when selecting a vendor are their ability to handle a huge volume of data, security, and then price. Price is not the first one, but it's an important one. And finally, the cloud could be important. I would rate Oracle Database at nine out of ten because of the stability and because they try to improve the product in every release. The next release is always better than the previous one. From release to release, we get more performance, which is really good. Even if you aren't a DBA, there a lot of features that you can put to use by yourself.
I would recommend the product. Most important criteria when selecting a vendor: * The product should be good. * Features * Its stability.
When selecting a vendor, the most important thing is that they have people who know the business. We have some databases, for example, for which it is very rare to find a person who knows something about them. Knowledge is important. Support of the product is very, important as well. We need to know where to go, who to ask, who will actually help us out with the problems. Of course, bringing new innovations and being out front with what is happening in the advancing of the technology are also important. My advice, especially for big companies today, would be to go to the cloud on-premises when starting out, which allows you to incorporate all the latest versions from Oracle yet have the infrastructure managed by the Oracle Cloud support team. It gives you the ability to utilize the best of Oracle and to scale when you need to. For smaller companies, the main reason they are not going with Oracle today is the pricing/licensing. I hope that, in the future, Oracle will do something about that so we'll once again see small companies beginning with Oracle, something that we don’t see today.
When choosing a vendor it's important to me that it is a good brand, that they have a good name in the market, and that the solution comes closest to meeting my needs. I would definitely recommend this solution.
Oracle has a very good database, but it is very expensive today, and there are a lot of competitors. Main criteria for selecting a vendor: * Name * Release of new versions * Stability.
