Oracle Database Reviews

Oracle Database is the database we use for one of our core solutions.

The price for Oracle Database could be better. It's a top-of-the-line product, so it's a bit expensive. We'd like for its price to be a bit lower, both for licensing and support. This is the only area for improvement I could think of for Oracle Database.

We've been using Oracle Database for two years.

Oracle Database is a stable product.

Oracle Database is a scalable product.

The initial setup for Oracle Database was straightforward.

We implemented this product in-house. The process was straightforward, so we could do it ourselves.

The licensing and support pricing for Oracle Database is a bit expensive, as it is a top-of-the-line product. We pay for this product yearly.

We used MySQL.

We are using the Enterprise version of Oracle Database, but I'm not sure about the exact version number.

I'm satisfied with this product. Oracle is a global, top database platform, so there isn't anything I'd like to change or add to Oracle Database.

We have 30 users of this product, and we currently don't have plans of increasing that number. For the deployment and maintenance of this product, we have two or three persons in charge, e.g. admins.

I have no complaints about Oracle Database, so I never got to contact their technical support team.

I'm recommending this product to others who are looking into implementing it.

My rating for Oracle Database is eight out of ten.

Our company does not have an Oracle Database. We are in charge of maintenance and deployment. We have several managed services for several customers, and we administer and deploy Oracle databases in those customers.

We are system integrators who deploy projects with infrastructure and manage infrastructure services.

Our main customers are in the banking industry. In the banking environment, Oracle databases are used for a wide range of solutions.

For all bank transactions to communicate in the various Oracle databases, the data must be extracted from the host systems and brought to work at a data warehouse. With a special banking solution, it requires another banking program.

Oracle is used to deploy solutions. The dashboard may be the best solution for intelligent data management, as well as business intelligence.

We believe that Oracle in the cloud is more secure.

It is more scalable on-premises.

Technical support needs improvement.

We have been providing Oracle Database for the last ten years.

We have been system integrators since the company's inception. I believe it will be 20 years that we have been working as system integrators.

We work both in the cloud and on-premises. We were born on-premises, but have spent the last five years working in a hybrid cloud model.

Oracle Database is a stable solution.

Oracle Database is scalable.

We have approximately 25 to 30 customers in the banking industry who use Oracle Database.

Technical support is okay, but some areas could be better.

Our core business is in the desktop virtualization model with Citrix and Microsoft. Citrix with desktop and Citrix solutions, as well as VMware and all virtualization software-defined projects.

We put all of our solutions in the cloud. It is one of our primary focuses, but some of our clients may prefer to have some of their infrastructure in on-premises solutions.

We use all of the virtuals from all of the databases. We use both Oracle and SQL.

The initial setup is straightforward. It's an easy installation.

The way we deploy services and project infrastructures in the cloud and on-premises differs.

We are deploying Oracle for large systems. We are aware that our customers have large Oracle systems.

There is a good return on investments.

In the last two or three years, we have been active on the internet to research the deployments to bring to the customer.

During the previous administration, we collaborated with our customers, and we preferred to deploy the new Oracle systems to the cloud, perhaps we are working on the journey from Oracle system to cloud, which is based in Oracle Cloud.

In general, I recommend the product. We have customers in Spain and Latin America, including Argentina, Peru, Chile, Brazil, and Mexico.

We introduce and maintain Oracle for these customers. Alternatively, one of the major customers is Bank Santander, Bank Sabadell, or Kaiser, which are large banks with operations all over the world.

We're collaborating with Oracle's architects and consulting solutions team in one part of the project and the Q&A in projects. We collaborate with Oracle consulting teams to deploy the solution in dashboards.

I would rate Oracle Database a nine out of ten.

It is for our core banking system. We are using version 19c, and the data is version eight.

All the database issues that we had have been resolved by using 19c. The database used to crash frequently, and now, that's a thing of the past. We haven't had any crashes in two months.

It is very fast. The response times are very fast.

Its price can be improved. 

In terms of features, we've just started using it, so we haven't yet come up with a list of features to be improved.

We have been using this solution for about two months.

It is very stable. We haven't had any crashes in two months.

It is very scalable. In terms of its usage, it is used by our core banking system. So, it is used by one system. It is not used directly by people. We don't have any plans to increase its usage.

It is quite good.

We were using Oracle but on different infrastructure.

It is complex, but it is doable. Our people were trained to do it and had the money to do it.

Its deployment did take long. We started the programming processes around August, and it went live only at the end of January.

Oracle helped us implement it.

It is quite expensive.

It is a very good product, especially for large sites. I would rate it a nine out of 10.

I use Oracle Database to support the customized Java ERP setup that I currently have.

Oracle Database has improved how we do our administrative backups. The solution has a smaller footprint than 11g, it's more efficient on the resources for the users. It has a smoother user experience with the ERP and fewer field transactions.

Oracle Database is running on the same old hardware that I had the 11g version on and it is operating faster. It seems to be really good. It's fast even when the workload is heavy, easy to do backups and other administrative tasks with the Enterprise Manager. 

Oracle Database can automatically assign resources to threads that are heavy. We hardly notice when they are running a heavy query and it is better at managing memory than the older 11g version. When we use the same amount of indexes when migrating to 19c, I didn't have to do any other modification and we have increased usage on the ERP. The Oracle Database is handling everything very well.

Oracle Database could improve by having a better-integrated view of the containerized databases. The Enterprise Manager is great at that, but if there was a centralized view of all the containers it would be a large benefit.

I have been using Oracle Database for approximately one year.

The reliability of the Oracle Database is excellent and the performance is very good. I have used MySQL for large transactions which have given me some problems, but in Oracle Database version 19c I have not had these issues. In the Oracle Database version 11g, sometimes I would have some lagging, but in the newer version, it has been fine.

The scalability of the solution is good.

We have approximately 70 users that are using the solution through the ERP.

The support I have received from Oracle Database has been very great. The response times have been good.

I have previously used MySQL.

The initial setup of Oracle Database is straightforward, it was easy. The migration from an older version was not a problem at all, and it took under one hour.

I did the implementation mostly myself, but because of the ERP setup, I had to have support from the vendor. It was a partnership setup.

I do the maintenance of the solution, we only require one person. I use the solution on a daily basis.

Oracle Database could make the documentation better around licensing. The way you have to access software from Oracle is difficult. You have to go through the licensing lawyer to understand what your reach is when you subscribe to one unit. I wish the documents were easier to understand for everyone. This is a problem I have always grappled with and it's not changed. Having clarity is even more important now that I'm thinking of having a hybrid setup for the database in the cloud for high availability.

The cost of the solution is reasonable. It costs approximately $4,000 with some extra features we have.

I would recommend this solution to others. However, it does depend on different organizations and their needs. If the resources are a little heavy, which makes for disaster recovery planning, a little bit tricky.  

I would advise people to explore how their workloads would be and if they can be containerized in the cloud. That would make it way easier for them to manage them. The scalability of Oracle Database is very easy to grow or shrink as the need.

I rate Oracle Database a nine out of ten.

We use the solution as a database, basically. We do not use it for the data warehouse. It's just a few databases.

We're satisfied with the solution. The performance is great.

We find the solution to be stable.

The scalability is very good. You can expand it if you need to.

We don't have any concerns with the data activity and recovery capabilities.

The initial setup is easy.

The cost of Oracle is far too high. They should work to make it less expensive. We're going to stop using it for this reason. 

They could improve the scalability a bit. There are other options that are more scalable, for example. 

I've been using the solution for almost 10 years now. It's been a decade. I've used it for a while. 

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

We don't have an issue with the solution's scalability. It's expandable. 

What we see is Mongo and Cassandra, and many other databases that are extremely scalable and distributed. With Oracle, obviously, there are other types of databases that are performing better in this area. Obviously, they could improve scalability from a scalability perspective.

I've never contacted technical support. I cannot speak to how helpful or responsive they are. 

We are using DB2 on mainframes and we do have Microsoft SQL, and then we started using PostgreSQL as well.

We haven't had a problem with the initial setup. It's very simple and straightforward. 

I haven't installed it in recent times, however, from what I recall, the actual production upgrade took us probably less than four hours.

Currently, the database team is around 40 or more people from engineering and from operations. It's a full database engineering and operations team so it's covering other databases as well - such as DB2 and SQL and Cassandra and other databases. You can take three to six engineers and have them handle deployment and maintenance, although everyone works on other things.

We handled everything in-house. We did not need the assistance of integrators or consultants. 

It's CPU-based licensing. The cost is far too high. We're looking into other options to avoid having to pay so much. There are both licensing and support costs you need to consider. 

We have been looking at less expensive options such as Azure SQL and PostgreSQL.

We're a customer and an end-user.

We use both cloud-based and on-premises deployments. 

While I might have recommended Oracle in the past, due to the cost factor, it's hard to recommend it these days. 

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

We use Oracle as an in-house development database.

The interface is easy to use.

The reporting can be improved. SAP has more reporting features than Oracle.

Better integration with other databases would be an improvement.

I have been working with Oracle Database for 20 years.

Oracle is a stable product.

We cannot scale this solution. We have about 1,000 employees that use it.

I have not been in contact with technical support.

Oracle is easy to deploy.

We implemented Oracle by ourselves. Our IT division handles both implementation and maintenance. Our division has about 200 engineers.

We have decided to use SAP ERP Enterprise and we plan to integrate it with Oracle. My advice for anybody who is considering Oracle Database is that as a tool, it's very easy to implement and you can customize it based on your processes or your job.

In summary, this is a good product and it's user-friendly, but I like SAP better.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

We use Oracle Database to host data. We use versions 11g, 12c, 19c, and 21c, but it depends on the application. The use does not depend on us, it depends on our editors because the application is totally built on Oracle Database. 

This solution is deployed on-premises, but it's highly probable that it will move to the cloud. 

One of the most valuable features of Oracle Database is the performance.

Oracle Database's migration capabilities could be improved because it's very difficult. So even if you migrate where you host your data, be it on Windows SQL Server, there is a problem because migrating the package is highly complex. The technical support could also be faster. 

We have been using Oracle Database since the company was created, so for more than 15 years. 

Oracle Database is 100% stable. 

This solution is very scalable. 

In our organization, there are over 300 users. 

Oracle's technical support could be faster. 

The installation is straightforward, but you need to have technical abilities. I maintain the system myself because I installed it myself. For deployment and maintenance, we have two or three administrators. 

I implemented this solution myself. 

We pay for an annual license as well as monthly support. 

Before using Oracle Database, I also evaluated MySQL and PostgreSQL. 

I rate Oracle Database an eight out of ten, according to performance and scalability. In terms of migration abilities, I would rate it a six out of ten because it's very difficult. 

I would recommend Oracle Database to others, especially for their new cloud policy and their subscription amount for the resources. 

We are using this for our data warehouse as well as for many of our core banking systems.

The command interface is very user-friendly. The required commands are not complicated and we are able to easily access the root system.

We believe that the usability could be improved, especially within the data lakehouse. We found content management to be a little bit more simpler within the GUI part.

We have been using the product for over 10 years.

The product has been quite stable across all versions.

The database in-memory and also the extra data that we were using, was quite scalable. It had a range of capabilities, which we could see the high throughput and low latency. Scalability was very well-defined and innovative which has allowed us to stick with the product.

We have about 200 in-house users with more than 1.3 million subscribers. This requires about four to six database specialists for maintenance.

They are committed on their SLAs and their availability is quite good. So, we are quite happy with with Oracle Database's customer service and support.

We have always stuck with Oracle.

We were able to take advantage of a two-week POC to allow our technical team to become comfortable with the database. From here, it took just two to four weeks to deploy it to the mainstream and set up the whole system via data transfer. 

We relied mainly on our in-house team. An Oracle representative assisted us during our POC and we were able to phone them during deployment if needed.

The return on investment is quite good. We were able to see a growing number of subscribers. Considering the speed and amount of activities that were going on with banks, I would say we saw returns within two to three years.

Since we are in BPN, we utilize group licensing which has the tech support included.

This product is definitely worth it. Our team is satisfied in all areas: price, scalability, support, etc.

I would rate this a nine out of ten.
