Oracle Database Reviews

I like the backend robustness of the database and the security capabilities that are inherently in the product.

The adaptability to various APIs is something that needs to be improved.

Also, the programming interface needs some improvement.

I have been using Oracle Database for five years.

We typically use Oracle Suite for our databases and Microsoft for our OS platforms. 

We are also considering a partial move to Microsoft Azure. This is our plan but it has not yet happened.

We are currently evaluating solutions to purchase. Some of the solutions that we are considering are AlgoSec, Skybox, and Toughen.

We are currently managing our firewall manually, which is why we are looking for an automated tool.

I would rate Oracle Database a seven out of ten.

It is for my personal use. I am using it for implementing data loss prevention (DLP), for which Oracle Database had to be installed first. I didn't use it for any other product.

Its performance is good. It is also stable and scalable.

Its administration side is very difficult. To install Oracle Database, you need to have some prior knowledge. You must learn their commands. I was new to this, so I found some difficulty in it. Its installation should be easier. 

It is expensive, and it should be cheaper.

I have been using this solution for around six months.

It is stable.

It is scalable. I will continue to use it because it is required for implementing DLP.

I haven't used their technical support.

I installed SQL Server.

You need to have prior knowledge to install Oracle Database. The deployment took three to four hours.

I installed it myself.

It is very expensive. Oracle licenses are expensive.

I would recommend it if it is necessary, but you need to have the budget to purchase it.

I would rate Oracle Database a six out of ten.

I mainly work on business intelligence with Qlik and use Oracle Database for the reporting and replicating. Together, we use Oracle Database and Oracle MySQL for this PoC.

We use MySQL to feed the data to the Qlik compose.

The procedures work very well. 

It's fast compared to other databases.

The syntax options are available in Google.

The initial setup should be improved.

I have been working with Oracle Database for three years.

I have not worked on Oracle Database a lot, as I concentrate on business intelligence. However, I have not experienced any issues or limitations.

It's a scalable product.

I have not contacted technical support. It's is handled through my internet team.

During the installation, we had to install certificates, but it was not mentioned in the documentation.

Definitely, I would recommend this solution to others.

I would rate Oracle Database a nine out of ten.

I would refer to Oracle's solution like a shield, it is very stable and has many features.

They could improve on making changes to their software faster, they are a large company and sometimes changes are slow. Also, Oracle can improve themselves in the cloud for Microsoft Azure systems.

I started using the solution 12 years ago.

When we are not able to solve a problem, we immediately contacted Oracle support team to help us solve it. They normally respond in a timely manner.

The installation can be easy. It depends on what you install. If you just install a database, it's easy but if you install some other programs it can be a little bit longer and difficult to install. 

We have a team of approximately 10 technicians working on the deployment. Sometimes the deployment of the product can reach some barriers, not because of a fault of Oracle but sometimes the hardware systems being installed on are older and can cause some problems. 

It would be a benefit if there were different pricing levels to help different size businesses. The product is a bit expensive compared to other competitors. 

I would recommend Oracle Database, I love Oracle. 

I rate Oracle Database a ten out of ten.

It is very easy to use the product.

I have been using the product for many years.

We currently have 18 people in our organization using this product. I find it to be a stable product.

Customer support could be faster, you currently have to write your issue to them and then they will get back to you after 24-hours.

Depending on the product used, the installation time can vary. The installation was easy and straightforward. The supplied instructional documentation for install is clear to follow.

I rate Oracle Database a nine out of ten.

We use the solution to store all of our application's data in the database. 

The queries performance could improve compared to other products.

I have been using the solution for over 15 years, almost 20 years.

It is a stable product. In terms of recovery, if there is a failure or some kind of fault, we can recover the data. We do not lose it.

The scalability is depending on your infrastructure, if you have the hardware then you can expand it, it is all configurable. Our whole database house is running it and it has been fine.

I have used Aruba previously which was faster at processing queries.

I would recommend this product.

I rate Oracle Database a seven out of ten.

You can put any application on Oracle, but it is especially used for financial and billing use cases.

Oracle Database is very flexible.

Two of the valuable features are the Application Clusters and Data Guard.

The price of the Oracle Database should be cheaper.

I have been using Oracle Database for approximately 20 years.

The stability is good, and we plan to continue using it in the future.

This is a scalable product. You can grow, and you can add things to do. We have approximately 10,000 users in our organization.

I use technical support once in a while and I find that they are improving. Over the years, there has been a big improvement in terms of support.

Prior to Oracle, I ran Adabas. Currently, I also use MySQL.

We have done hundreds of installations. Some of them are quick, whereas others take a long time. There is no one answer as to how easy or difficult it is to set up.

We have five database administrations who maintain it.

The pricing is expensive, which is a major issue. We pay a yearly maintenance fee.

The Oracle Database is a monster, with many faces and many parts. It can be used for everything. I cannot see any room for major improvement, other than perhaps the price.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

We use this solution as a customer database for our client so all customer information is available through this product. I'm a senior professional security compliance officer and we are partners with Oracle. 

I like that the solution has an endless capacity, there are no limitations and it's a stable platform. 

The licensing formulation could be improved; it's too complicated and very rigid. 

I've been using this solution for a very long time. 

It's a stable solution but there are bugs which I think is related to standards compliance. There are limitations in monitoring. 

Technical support is somewhat limited. 

The initial setup was complex. Compared to the implementation of Microsoft SQL, we needed skilled people to manage Oracle. Implementation took some weeks. 

I think this is a good solution because it's easy to administer and manage but it requires the right skilled people. It's not ideal for our requirements but it's improving, whether it's encryption or security, I know they'll get there eventually. 

I would rate this solution a seven out of 10.
