What is most valuable?

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Oracle DaaS is scalable.

How are customer service and support?

We created a curriculum from Oracle University to train our staff, so we don't need much support. 

How was the initial setup?

Setting up Oracle DaaS wasn't difficult. Most of the stuff was there. You only need to enter the name of the database, and that's it. However, you need a little more information to set up an on-prem database. One person can set up Oracle DaaS.

What other advice do I have?

I rate Oracle Database as a Service nine out of 10. It's easy to implement and use. Disaster recovery is easy. Oracle has availability domains in different regions, so you will never lose your data. Oracle has built expertise in database solutions for the last 35 years, and now they are offering this in a cloud service

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Hybrid Cloud

Indexes are built in to the solution and it's very easy to implement
Pros and Cons
  • "You can be up and running the same day."
  • "With Database as a Service, you can be up and running the same day."
  • "When migrating to a different instance, the internal machine learning is lost."
  • "When migrating to a different instance, the internal machine learning is lost."

What is our primary use case?

Our primary use case for this Oracle solution is as the repository for applications developed in-house. I'm a software and integration architect and we are customers of Oracle. 

What is most valuable?

I like that the solution is easy to onboard. There's no database on-premise that requires installation from scratch. Without the serverless option, installation is a very complicated process. It requires hardware as well as DBAs, operating system, and network administrators. With Database as a Service, you can be up and running the same day.

What needs improvement?

Although we do not need to set up our own indexes, because the solution internally improves the queries, when we migrate to a different instance, the internal machine learning is lost. The solution doesn't provide an option for migrating the index optimization to another instance.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using this service for nearly three years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is stable. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I believe it is scalable although we haven't had the opportunity to do that yet. 

How are customer service and support?

We have the Oracle Support Subscription and they have been helpful. We also have Advanced Customer Services from Oracle.

How was the initial setup?

We have set up the solution numerous times and it has been very easy.

What other advice do I have?

I recommend this solution and rate it nine out of 10.
