Has reduced database management efforts and supported student learning through smooth deployment
The most important feature of Amazon RDS on Outposts for me is the self-managed aspect. The user doesn't have to worry about putting the service online, scaling the solution, and they don't have to worry about backups and other administrative tasks. The self-managed feature by AWS is very interesting. I use the automated backups in Amazon RDS on Outposts, and I recommend it. I work as a consultant for AWS products, and I have recommended Amazon RDS on Outposts and the automatic backup. Automated backups are helpful because the technical team doesn't have to worry about backups, making it much easier. It frees the technical team to deal with other kinds of questions within their projects. Amazon RDS on Outposts positively impacted my organization by being very useful to migrate, freeing the technical team to think about other matters instead of focusing just on backups and provisioning the database.

Currently, I have a very good experience with Oracle Multitenant. The pluggable database is easy to handle and manage, sharing resources efficiently. However, Oracle license pricing is an issue due to its high cost. Our organization is compelled to reduce CPU usage by seventy CPUs because the Oracle license cost depends on it.

Pros

"Amazon RDS on Outposts positively impacted my organization by being very useful to migrate, freeing the technical team to think about other matters instead of focusing just on backups and provisioning the database."
"The solution reduces the configuration and maintenance of the database."
"The solution is easy to manage."
"The product's initial setup phase is simple and straightforward."
"The scalability and cost-effectiveness of AWS were beneficial during spikes in database usage, as it allowed our platform to adjust and remain operational."
"The ability to create multiple databases without using any additional memory and CPU, and reallocating resources among these databases as needed, dynamically, without restarting."
"There are only benefits to using this solution."
"The feature that I like on Multitenant is the ease - it is very easy for my team to run the database."
"The cloning features are outstanding."
"I would rate the scalability a ten out of ten. Our clients are mostly medium and enterprise businesses."
"It's easy to use and works great."
"You can scale the solution as needed."
"The stability of Oracle Multitenant is excellent, and I would rate it a nine out of ten."
 

Cons

"I find the pricing to be expensive."
"The tool should include features to clone the RDS instances and have more central management for a lot of RDSs, not just every instance."
"I would like to see some improvements in its version upgrades because its upgrade from MySQL 5.7 to MySQL 8 was not straightforward."
"If our database is too big, we sometimes face glitches in it."
"Areas that could be improved with Amazon RDS on Outposts for Brazilians include the cost because it remains a very important consideration."
"Oracle is too complex. Anyone that has experience with Oracle knows that their product design or idea may be very good, but when you go to work it will take you hours because it is very complex."
"It can be complicated to scale up the solution, but it's scalable."
"While the product is overall excellent, it is quite expensive."
"The main area for improvement is regarding backup and recovery. Today, it’s difficult to set a pluggable database to a former point in time because flashback pluggable database doesn’t exist."
"The Oracle Database support is not very good, unfortunately."
"I would rate technical support at Oracle a three out of five. They're good, but not good always."
"Stability and full feature coverage will come with future release."
"This solution is a bit complicated when collecting from containers - that feature should be a bit better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licenses are included with the subscription my company purchases from Amazon."
"The solution can get expensive fast."
"Amazon RDS on Outposts is expensive compared to other solutions."
"This solution is a little bit pricey."
"For me, I will go with it if I have the budget. Some features are nicer than before, but at the end of the day, you always have a limited budget. I prefer to upgrade and get a specific hardware when possible. At the end, you will have to make a compromise. You will not get everything you would have liked to have."
"The price is worth the quality."
