Amazon RDS vs Oracle Database Cloud Service comparison

"The scalability is the best, and I have no issues with the ability to scale."

"The product is very, very easy to use."

"The solution's customer service is excellent."

"Relational databases excel in extensive normalization, eliminating data redundancy and efficiently structuring tables which leads to a clear and efficient relationship between tables using primary keys."

"The product's installation phase is easy."

"Amazon RDS is a scalable solution."

"The product's most valuable features are option groups, S3 integration, automated and scheduled snapshots, and cross-region replication."

"It is stable, scalable, and easy to deploy."

"The most valuable features of Oracle Database Cloud Service are its scalability, advanced technology, cost-effectiveness, and the flexibility it provides with licensing."

"I recommend Oracle Database Cloud Service as a good technology with excellent support and documentation."

"What I like best about Oracle Database Cloud Service is its nice performance. My company doesn't have any problems with the service. The technical support for it is also good. My company is satisfied with Oracle Database Cloud Service. I also like the availability of the service. It's a trustworthy service. I didn't experience any downtime from it. My company also has additional features included in the contract, such as WAP, which makes operations easier. My team can implement all the architecture with the features and services that Oracle Database Cloud Service offers. Technically, this is a very, very, good product or database, whether on-premises or on the cloud."

"Security is the most valuable feature provided by the product."

"The self-maintenance features, auto maintenance, cleanup, and backup are the most valuable aspects of Oracle Database Cloud Service."

"The product’s most valuable feature is affordable pricing compared to other providers."

"Oracle DCS's most valuable features are its high availability and scalability."

"Data storage is the most valuable feature of Oracle Database Cloud Service."

"For improvements, Amazon RDS could work on more features for multi-availability zone deployment to enhance higher availability, and on simplifying migration for those transitioning from on-premises to cloud environments."

"I feel Amazon RDS should have a lot of functionalities to make monitoring within the database easier."

"AWS support is decent, but it's not as good as before. Sometimes, we get junior staff who are unable to answer our questions. It also depends on the support team you get. Support based in Europe and Australia is better than US support. For example, European support is quick to deliver the right answer. US support handles routine maintenance issues, and it's mostly junior staff who don't know the product well."

"Currently, we are using Fargate. Instead of that, we are planning to use EC2 instances, but we are facing some problems, and we are unable to enable NAT gateway for Elastic Load Balancer. When we enable auto-scaling, the instance count increases, and we get IP addresses dynamically. We need to whitelist the IPs of these instances, but there is no option to whitelist those IPs in Amazon RDS. We need one static IP that we can assign to ELB so that we can whitelist this IP."

"A lot of the features are disabled by default. The solution should enable more features. I understand this could cause challenges to management for many clients using RDS, however."

"The solution's version upgrade and performance could be improved."

"The Amazon RDS engine could provide features for additional databases, such as Db2. It could also provide support for other databases, such as NoSQL databases, DynamoDB, and Apache Cassandra. They could all stay under one hood."

"User interface needs improvement for using IPS and CloudWatch to scale and utilize read replicas, enabling performance insights to view query formats where the bottlenecks occur, identifying the fixes, slow queries, and missing indexes, improving the security and monitoring with alerts."

"The implementation process could be easier for customers."

"We're actually going through licensing issues and are looking to perhaps changing to another solution, something that is perhaps open-source."

"The pricing must be improved."

"Oracle Cloud is very strong in the database, but it is not as comprehensive as AWS or Azure."

"Oracle Database Cloud Service has room for improvement in handling large-scale applications."

"It would be nice to have a data dictionary reporting feature in the solution."

"In my opinion, the price of Oracle Database Cloud Service should be more affordable. Additionally, the interface of the application could be more user-friendly."

"Oracle Database Cloud Service is a good engine and at the moment, there isn't any new feature I can think of that I'd like added to the service. The only problem I see in Oracle Database Cloud Service is it's more commercial, so it has a relation to how it deals with customers. I don't feel secure in a deal with Oracle because that team changes the conditions each year, and there's no representative from the team that talks to my company about new needs. Oracle needs to improve its relationship with customers and partners in general."

"The prices for different regions are different."

"The solution is fairly priced."

"Amazon RDS is cheaper compared to other tools."

"The solution's pricing needs improvement."

"The platform pricing is on the higher side, but given its capabilities and ease of use, it remains competitive."

"The price of Amazon RDS is expensive."

"Amazon RDS is an expensive solution."

"The solution is expensive."

"The tool is not cheap."

"Every year we are increasing the price of the solution. There is hardware licensing available. We pay approximately $20,000 monthly to use the solution."

"Price is always higher for all Oracle products."

"Pricing for Oracle Database Cloud Service could be more competitive. Lately, pricing for it has been increasing, so my company may have to review different options to find a solution with competitive pricing. From what I know, there's no additional cost apart from the standard licensing fees for Oracle Database Cloud Service."

"The product has reasonable pricing. I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."

"I think the program is rather expensive, so I would like to see it becoming more affordable."
