Oracle Database as a Service Reviews

In general, it's for our billing systems and for customers and customer service.

We have the ability to build several solutions to according to the requirements of our users.

It is easy to set up.

The solution scales well.

It is stable and reliable. 

Performance always is an important issue. The product must improve its performance.

I've been using the solution for five years. 

The stability has been great. We don't have bugs or glitches. It is reliable. It doesn't crash or freeze.

Of course, we could always use better performance. 

So far, we have found the solution to be scalable.

We have 1,000 people directly and 50,000 people indirectly using the solution. 

Technical so far has been pretty good. 

The solution has a straightforward setup. It is not complex or difficult. 

We have a corporate license. I'm just using it. I don't have the details in terms of exact cost.

I'm just a customer. 

I use the on-premises and the as-a-service versions. 

I'd advise those considering the solution to first be careful to design it before beginning. 

I'd rate the product ten out of ten overall. 

I use the solution to store data.

Oracle is the best database in the world. Everything about it is great.

The product is very expensive.

I have been using the solution for 27 years.

The solution is very stable.

The solution is very scalable. We have three distributed systems. At each site, more than 100 people use the solution.

We contact support for partitioning and indexing.

Installing DB as a service is very straightforward. If we have to install it on-premise, we need a DPA.

It doesn't take long to deploy the solution. The time taken for deployment depends upon the location of deployment. If it is a remote area, it can take a few hours. On a local site, it can be done very quickly.

We deployed the solution in-house. The deployment process starts with installation and choosing your language and other settings. If we are working on development, we can create the tables. However, if we deploy for live testing, we export and import without the data.

We have seen an ROI on the solution.

The pricing depends on the operating systems and VMs we use.

I am using the latest version of the solution. I will recommend the solution to others. We have deployed the solution in Louisiana, Syria, and all over Africa. Overall, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.

Oracle's Database as a Service has the potential to support both artificial intelligence and machine learning, but it seems that its capabilities in these areas have yet to be fully developed.

Security is a critical aspect for us, as well as the process of patching and updating the system. 

The availability of the system is ensured by running it on two on-premise servers, which are identical and located separately.

The most valuable aspect of the solution is its security, performance, and availability.

There is room for improvement in the speed of the data migration process.

I have been working with Oracle Database as a Service for a few years.

I would rate the stability a nine out of ten.

Oracle Database as a Service is highly scalable.

We have eight users who use the solution for project management, which we deploy for our clients. However, this is not the primary function of our own work. As an example, one of our clients has 50 users running a similar deployment.

In addition to our own usage, the solution is also used by the company we have contracted for core banking. 

We purchase the solution from them and they take care of its deployment and management. Therefore, we are not directly involved in the deployment process. 

While we initially went with Oracle, our clients are now the ones who are involved in the deployment process for the core banking solution.

I have only contacted technical support through proxy.

Previously, we were working with MySQL.

The initial setup is generally considered straightforward, although there may be some challenges, particularly when new team members are introduced. However, once the team becomes familiar with the solution, the setup process becomes easier and more streamlined, even when working remotely.

Deploying the solution is generally considered to be easy, with the only major challenge being the migration of data from another database to this one. 

The data migration process can be complex and time-consuming.

To deploy the solution, it is important to have the correct hardware specifications in place. Once these specifications have been met, and the necessary hardware is available, the deployment process can begin.

Once the database has been installed and configured, the system should be up and running.

What has been done is that an annual subscription model has been launched, which includes the payment of both the AML (Annual Maintenance Fee) and the subscription fee, paid on a yearly basis.

I have evaluated both SQL and MySQL, and I have found that MySQL lacks the interactivity and capacity compared to SQL.

Oracle is typically chosen when a highly robust and reliable system is required.

I would recommend this solution to other users.

I would rate Oracle Database as a Service a nine out of ten.

We primarily use the on-premises version as our country does not allow the use of the cloud. We primarily use the solution as a database. 

We like the fact that it is very reliable. It's also very available. It's easy to find Oracle resources in our part of the world, and it's easy to replicate over other data centers. 

The functionality is good. It's flexible and easy to adjust. 

It is very reliable. 

The partitioning has been very useful. We like that we can do replication and indexing. 

The solution is stable.

It can scale, however, the cloud deployment would scale more easily. 

The solution is very expensive. 

We'd like to see better support for non-structured data and in-memory load. That would help with applications we need to cache. 

I've been using the solution for over ten years now. I've used it since about 2006 or 2008.

The solution is stable. I'd rate it nine out of ten. It is reliable, and the performance is good. It doesn't crash or freeze. 

The solution is scalable. I'd rate it six out of ten. On-premises is less scalable than the cloud. 

Technical support could be better. They should have more publicly available assistance instead of having a subscription. 

Neutral

We do use a bit of PostgreSQL. 

The initial setup was complex. I'd rate the ease of setup three out of ten. You need to understand the file system, and you need to understand Oracle very well before setup. It's not like Microsoft, where there is a setup Wizard to guide you. You need very specific knowledge. 

The setup might take a day or two in terms of deployment. However, you need to put in the tables and build the applications on top of that, and that part can take several months. 

We handled the setup in-house. 

I'd rate the pricing one out of ten. It is way too expensive. We do need to pay extra for other modules, for example, for partitioning and compression. You can also pay extra for assistance. It's already too much, and then they make you pay even more. 

We did look at SQL and MongoDB since starting with the solutions. However, we did not look at anything before choosing Oracle. 

We're customers and end-users. 

We have been using Oracle ERP for some time and are moving from on-premises to the cloud. 

I'd advise users to pay attention to licensing as it can get very, very expensive. Definitely look into other databases. 

I would rate the solution seven out of ten as it is the market leader and is very stable. 

The solution’s new version, Exadata, is good for managing enterprise workloads. It is number one in terms of performance. The solution is also good with sharding concepts.

I like the solution’s performance and real application concepts.

I would like to see improvements in the license cost. The solution is subscription-based for PaaS services. You need to buy your own authorized license.

I have been working with the solution for more than 20 years.

I would rate the solution’s stability a ten out of ten since it is stable.

The solution is scalable and I would give a rating of ten out of ten for its scalability. We have more than 100 customers for the solution.

The solution’s setup is straightforward and doesn’t take more than a day to complete. The steps for the solution’s deployment include purchasing the tenancy and provisioning the database as per the license which you have purchased.

Customers need to pay extra costs for the solution based on their scope and business.

I would rate the solution a ten on ten. Anyone looking to implement the solution should be mindful of the sizing since it affects the licensing and AMC support. I would suggest customers to try the subscription-based pricing model rather than the optimized licensing one.

I use Oracle Database as a Service for preparing DBQ. I then check whether my output is as expected or not, and compare it with the LS that is generated. Additionally, when I check any customer data, I use this solution.

The most valuable features of Oracle Database as a Service are the ease of use. We can use a simple syntax to get data and we can easily go to procedures to see data other than using a query.

Oracle Database as a Service is very convenient to use. However, we need to know to which schema we want it to connect specifically, and what are the username and password. The solution requires some basic knowledge of SQL RP and SQL Oracle to use it.

I have been using Oracle Database as a Service for approximately four years.

I have not used the support from the vendor.

The initial setup of Oracle Database as a Service is difficult. For example, reading all the schemas and providing different users can take time.

This solution is costly because it saves a lot of data.

Oracle Database as a Service is a user-friendly option that you can be considered when evaluating solutions. You can easily view available tables and their corresponding data by executing basic queries. The left tab displays all tables and procedures, and you can expand it to view table names directly. By using a simple query, such as "select star from [table name]", you can obtain all information. You can then refine your queries by selecting specific correlated queries that involve loops, joins, and other operations. Overall, using Oracle is a straightforward process that you should consider exploring.

I rate Oracle Database as a Service a nine out of ten.

I don't have a lot of experience just yet. I'm still learning the product. It's an ERP solution that we are providing. It's a very powerful database. 

The solution is very stable. It's very powerful. 

The solution can scale. You can use it with just a few or hundreds of users.

We have found the product to be very adaptable. 

It isn't too hard to set up. 

I'm a rookie at the moment. I still need to learn the solution. It's hard to discuss what is needed when you are still learning. 

For many companies, the standard version is not enough. They need to move to the enterprise version. However, there is a large price jump between the two. 

A company needs to have skilled people on its team in order to really take advantage of the solution. 

I'm not sure about the ADF lifecycle. 

I've used the solution for three months. 

The solution is stable. It is in production and is working well. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. 

It's a scalable solution. It is easy to expand. 

We're using the solution with more than 50 customers. 

At the moment, I've had no direct contact with Oracle. I'm not fully operating in the product just yet. 

If a customer requires a solution, we go with that solution. therefore, we use a variety of products. 

For example, we've also used WebLogic, which is a bit simpler and easier to handle.

The initial setup is pretty straightforward. You just download the installation and go.

Since we work with a variety of clients, we use different clouds. 

I'm not sure how long ht redeployment took. I did not directly handle deployment tasks. 

The enterprise version can get quite expensive.

The bigger the customer, the more resources the customer requires, which can add to the cost. 

We've had a customer that has spent around 40,000 Euros for a database. 

Oracle is a very powerful product. It's not a toy. Therefore, if a company wants to use it, it must have qualified people on board to manage it. It also requires some amount of memory or CPU. You need to have the space for it and a backup, et cetera. However, it's very useful, and it's a very professional database.

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.  For our customers, it's the best solution we can provide. 

Our organization works in the gambling domain and we have gambling software. We use Oracle Database as a Service for our customers. The solution incorporates the user transaction database of our business.

I would like the tool to improve the setup because it is complex.

We have been working with the solution for more than ten years.

The performance stability of the solution works fine. The solution is stable.

The tool is scalable. We have more than 100,000 customers using the solution.

The support is good but I would like to improve their time period.

The setup of the solution is complex. However, we get support in case of any problems.

We needed help to deploy the solution.

I have found that the solution serves the money.

I will rate this solution a nine out of ten. We have been using this solution for the past ten years. We will continue the partnership. I do not expect to see any further integration of the tool with our software. I will recommend this tool to those with a large database.
