Oracle Database as a Service Reviews

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.

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.

The primary use case for this solution for the clients I have been working with is building applications and storing their data in the database. My other use case is helping companies set up data guards for high availability.

Oracle has helped our organization by being a reliable solution that is stable with zero crashes. The differentiation between Oracle's database and other databases is that Oracle needs more attention. It's not a click here, click there solution, it needs more time put in, but once you do that, it's ready to go and you can forget about it.

The most valuable feature is the solution's ability to seamless transform a primary into a standby database. When setting up failover where you have an active and a standby database and production goes down, you don't know if there are any issues. So, a seamless switch over to the standby is valuable because you can work on the production that has gone down to fix the problem.

The area in this solution that could be improved is that currently, it's difficult to do the setup. You need to do all kinds of command lines to get it set up. If that setup becomes easier and easily manageable, that would be great.

In the next release, I'd like to see a simpler connection between Oracle and other databases like SQL, MySQL, or a DB tool. I'd also like to see a simpler way to pull data from those external databases. This would add value to Oracle in my opinion.

I have been using Oracle Database as a Service since 2007. That adds up to around 16 years. I started using Oracle when it was Oracle version 10.

The cost of licensing for this solution is quite high. 

When it comes to other people looking into this solution, I would advise double-checking the pricing as it's quite high for Oracle. Other than that, go for it.

Overall, I would rate this solution a 10, on a scale from one to 10, with one being the worst and 10 being the best.

Debugging this solution is challenging. 

I have been using this solution for twenty years. 

I would rate this solution an eight or nine for stability. 

This solution does not offer the best scalability. I would rate it an eight out of ten.

The customer service for this solution is very good. I would rate them a nine out of ten. 

Positive

I would rate the initial setup a seven out of ten. Deployment took two years.
