Oracle Database Reviews

For the Database solution, I'm working with the 12c version. For Security Solution, I'm working with Oracle based Audit Vault and Database Firewall, versions 12 and 20.

We use the solution in Cameroon, where I reside, for payroll purposes. 

Optimization of databases, RAC, Data Guard Replication with Data Guard and RAC Database are the best features. The solution offers many features. We try to tailor the deployment to the needs of the company involved. Some need replication, others optimization and still others, RAC. 

There is a new version of Oracle and Database Firewall, version 20, for which I would be interested in receiving training. For the moment, training is not an option. Having the time to undertake this does not pose an issue for me, as I would speak with my supervisor to allot the requisite time. 

I have been using Oracle Database for nearly four or five years.

The solution is stable. 

The version of the solution being employed today is definitely scalable. 

We work as a partner company with Oracle and have a representative in our region to whom we can appeal directly for collaboratively resolving any issues which may arise with our clients.

We are satisfied with the support. While we don't encounter issues on a daily basis, there has not been a single time that we have failed to resolve one when it has arisen. 

The installation does not take long. They have provided a simplified edition on the hardware and database of the latest version of Oracle Database Appliance, a product I have recently installed. It is quite user friendly and makes things easier than has been the case in the last five years. With the improved installation, the solution is now easy to install.  

The licensing costs are on a yearly basis, although I am a technicican and am not involved in this process. This is in someone else's purview. 

In NFC Cameroon the solution is deployed on-premises. When it comes to Oracle Database, certain companies are deployed on-cloud and others on-premises. We have yet to deploy on cloud. 

We have many clients, ranging from medium sized to very large. We have assisted more than ten clients in implementing the solution in our data center. 

I rate Oracle Database as an eight out of ten. 

We primarily use the solution for data storage.

Oracle is one of the strongest solutions on the market.

The user experience and the tools provided with Oracle are great. For example, there's the SQL developer, and these tools are really easy and user-friendly. You get used to it very fast. 

The initial setup is straightforward. 

The solution scales well.

We have found the solution to be quite stable.

Technical support is great.

The solution has a high cost. Due to this, people are going for open-source instead. 

If you want to scale, it will get even more expensive.

I've been using the solution for ten years or so. It's been a decade or so. 

The stability of the solution is good. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable. 

The scalability potential depends on the package that a company gets. If you purchase Datadog, it will be easy to extend and have multiple nodes. The more features you purchase, however, the higher the price. Scaling comes at a cost.

Technical support has been very helpful. They respond on time and you don't waste any time waiting for the tickets. You just get the answer directly usually in the same hour or on the same day at a maximum. We are extremely satisfied with them.

The initial setup is not overly complex or difficult. It's very straightforward.

The cost is very high. All the customers that I know are planning to move to an open-source database for this reason.

I'm just a customer and an end-user.

We used to use 12C, however, we recently moved to 19C.

I would recommend the solution if the company has a budget and if you have a project that will provide revenue to cover the price for the actual product. If a company is going to start a product that will not give the right revenue at the beginning, I would suggest PostgreSQL.

I would rate the product at an eight out of ten. It loses a  few points mostly due to the high price tag.

We use Oracle Database for the solution we make using Oracle APEX for our clients. Oracle Database can be used in all sectors, we have many clients in the financial sector. 

The main feature of Oracle Database is its performance.

Oracle could improve by providing better integration with other solutions, such as Angular platforms. We have a lot of pressure from our customers to have this type of compatibility, we end up using other solutions that tend to mimic the functionality but it is not natural, expensive, and is difficult to maintain.

We have already seen some tools that they are working on, but they are in an experimental stage and do not look too promising. There is a need for more collaboration moving forward. In the past it was beautiful, now the world is collaborative, and it is hard to have that integration with everybody else.

I have been using Oracle Database for approximately 30 years.

The solution is reliable.

The support from Oracle is very good.

The price of the solution could be reduced.

I rate Oracle Database an eight out of ten.

This solution is used for the collection of data.

Oracle Database is easy to use.

Security is an area that needs to be improved. 

I have been using Oracle Database for years.

We are using version 12.2

Oracle Database is a stable product.

We have several thousand users in our organization. 

The support response time could be faster.

Previously, we used IBM Db2.

We used IBM Db2 within the last year.

The initial setup was straightforward. It was easy to install.

I would recommend this solution to others who are interested in using it.

I would rate Oracle Database a seven out of ten.

The solution is primarily used for the core banking system, for cloud disaster recovery, for business continuity planning, and lots of other business cases. We use it for the core banking system and card system for applications.

The Oracle BI, Business Intelligence, is its most valuable aspect. Oracle BI has been very helpful for me during my career. To have business analytics and to deal with big data with the multiple organizations I've worked for has been great.

The solution is very stable. 

We've found the solution to be scalable.

The initial setup isn't too complicated.

The pricing isn't too bad. 

Their cloud services should be improved and expanded. 

The quality of technical support could be better. They could respond faster.

I've been using the solution for 12 to 15 years at this point. It's been well over a decade. I've used it for quite a while. 

The stability is very good. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable.

The scalability is there if you need it. It expands quite well.

Technical support is okay, however, sometimes it takes a while for them to respond It would be nice if they were faster. We aren't 100%v satisfied with the level of service we get from them.

I also use Microsoft.

While it depends on the testing scenarios, depends on the application that we're going to serve, and depends on the hardware you're using, it's not hard. I wouldn't describe the process as complex. 

We're fine with the licensing and costs. 

We are simply customers and end-users. We don't have a business relationship with Oracle. 

I use various versions of the solution, however, every year, they release a new version and I end to install it. 

I use multiple deployment models, including on-premises and cloud. 

I'd give the solution a perfect ten out of ten rating. It really is a fantastic product. We've been very happy with its capabilities and reliability.

We use Oracle Database for our core banking system. Including end users, there are approximately 8,000 customers and employees using this solution within our organization. 

For maintenance, we require a team of roughly 20-25 developers, including a fiscal analyst and a project management lead. 

We're a bank. Our customers trust us with their money. Oracle database is a leading technology that allows us to manage our systems.

It's very reliable.

I have been using Oracle Database for roughly 10 years. 

Oracle Database is stable.

The technical support is okay.

Although I wasn't present for the initial setup, I believe it doesn't take much time. 

An integrator helped us with the initial setup.

The licenses could definitely be cheaper. We pay on a yearly basis. 

I would definitely recommend this solution to others. Overall, on a scale from one to ten, I would give Oracle Database a rating of eight. 

I use this solution for database management.

I have found the most valuable feature to be the performance. We have a large database in my company and there is not likely a solution that has the performance we need.

Oracle Database could improve by providing access and integration with containers.

I have been using this solution for approximately 20 years.

The stability of this solution is good.

Oracle does not support standard containers and this is a limitation when it comes to scalability. You can not make a partition in the database. However, there might be a separate product to enable this feature.

We have approximately 10,000 users using this solution and this does not include the internet users that use our database every day.

The technical support has been good.

The price of the solution could improve.

Oracle is the best database solution in the world. I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Oracle Database a nine out of ten.

It can be used for OTP, ERP systems, server systems, and data warehousing.

I like the design of the database because it works well. I also like the stability of the solution.

The licensing cost could be better.

I've been using Oracle Database for the last 16 years.

It's a cloud-based solution.

It is a stable solution.

We have a yearly license, and it could be cheaper.

I would recommend Oracle Database and rate it at eight on a scale from one to ten.

The solution is primarily used for our accounting system.

The solution is the best in the world. It's robust and accessible. 

Oracle is the best on the market. They offer an exceptional product.

Technical support has been helpful so far.

The solution could be a bit cheaper. There are less expensive options.

The installation of the product could be designed to be simpler.

I've been using the solution for about three years. It's been a while.

Technical support has been great. We've been most satisfied with eh level of support we get. Everyone is helpful and responsive. 

I also have experience with the SQL Server, which is less expensive. It's also easier to set up and deploy,

The initial setup isn't exactly straightforward. It's a bit more complex than, for example, an SQL Server, which is much more straightforward and simple to deploy.

We used a specialist when deploying the solution originally.

The solution is more expensive than the SQL server. If a company needs a less expensive option, it shouldn't necessarily choose Oracle.

I use multiple versions of the solution, including 12C and 11G.

I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten.

I'd recommend the solution to others. Oracle really is the best, even though the initial setup can be a bit difficult.

We use this solution to run custom-made software for medical, social security, and medical care companies in Guatemala.

Within our organization, there are roughly 70-75 employees using this solution. 

This solution is very reliable. The performance is great.  

It would be nice if creating indexes and other small, repetitive tasks could be automated. 

I have been using Oracle Database for 10 years. 

We receive very good support here in Guatemala from our local partner. We're very happy to have this relationship. 

The initial setup wasn't complex, but it wasn't simple either — it's in between. 

Overall, on a scale from one to ten, I would give this solution a rating of nine.
