Oracle Database Appliance Reviews

Oracle Database Appliance could improve by having better integration.

I have been using Oracle Database Appliance for approximately 25 years. 

Oracle Database Appliance is a stable solution. We have clients that have been running it for 10 years.

Database Appliance is highly scalable.

I have contacted the support from Oracle Database Appliance. Their services are no longer up to my expectation.

I rate the support from Oracle Database Appliance a three out of five.

We have seen a return on investment with Oracle Database Appliance. This is why we still support them today.

The price of the solution should be less expensive. However, they will increase the price more.

I would advise others to look for a company that has their own experience, that is local. This will allow them to have a local understanding of what requirements are needed. Sometimes the international companies may not be aware of the local requirements. One of the reasons that we are very still supporting Oracle Database Appliance is because we feel that Oracle has a lot of customers and a lot of implementers that are local. That's one of the key points that we're still with Oracle.

I rate Oracle Database Appliance ten out of ten.

Oracle Database Appliance is the best.

The features that they're providing as skills are the solution's most valuable aspect.

The solution is simple to use and easy to maintain.

The testing aspect of the solution could be improved. Right now, it's done by us, but if they'd improve it with tools that would make things easier.

If we were able to use Oracle Database to create mobile apps, that would be great. I don't know multiple languages, like Java, etc. I need to learn a separate language, right now in order to do this.

We primarily use the solution for data storage.

The solution does crash. It doesn't happen often, but it does happen occasionally.

The solution is scalable. We have a few hundred people using the solution currently.

We've never been in touch with technical support. We don't have the internet password needed to connect. We typically use a third party if we require assistance.

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.

Our primary use case is OLTP.

Cost.                                                                                                                                         .

Oracle RAC.                                                        .

Patching: Oracle Database Appliance patching comes out two to three months after the regular patching cycle.                     .

Configurable installation pre-defined templates are available to meet your requirements.

It has led to improved performance, it saves maintenance costs, increases stability and reliability and is a single vendor solution.

Creating a VM on ODA could be improved.

We have been using the solution for two years.

There were no issues with stability.

There were no issues with scalability.

I would rate the technical support as 8/10.

We were using IBM P series AIX, using ODA ease patching, installation and support.

The setup was straightforward, as install and reinstall is configurable with predefined templates.

I recommend to get a discounted deal from Oracle, especially with the one time setup which was free.

We didn't really evaluate any alternatives.

It is highly recommended in an environment where no Sys Admin, Infrastructure and Network Team exists. DBA can rack and stack with the easily performed installation.
