"The most valuable features of Oracle Database as a Service are the power, security, and performance."
"The most valuable features of the solution are processing, indexing, monitoring, scalability, network, performance of the clustering, clusters, and availability."
"It's a scalable product."
"The most valuable Oracle Database as a Service is security."
"Its technical support team is good."
"The product is easy to set up."
"One of the most valuable aspects is its seamless integration with Azure Data Factory."
"Emergency mode is quite useful."
"The most valuable feature of SQL Azure is the user-friendly VMs."
"The data availability and speed are impressive, especially compared to legacy systems. The loading speeds are much faster on Azure SQL."
"The most useful feature of Azure SQL is the queries for manipulating the data, such as the tables and the storage processors."
"The solution is a fairly mature product. It provides good stability."
"The product is very expensive."
"The solution provides the same type of RDBMS engine for all use cases. They need to provide different products that will be suitable for all use cases. The solution does not support the documentation of databases."
"Improvement in Oracle DBaaS could focus on enhancing performance monitoring and reporting tools."
"The ROI has not been good."
"Oracle Database as a Service is very convenient to use. However, we need to know to which schema we want it to connect specifically, and what are the username and password. The solution requires some basic knowledge of SQL RP and SQL Oracle to use it."
"Earlier, the interface was continuously changing. Features you used would be moved somewhere else, so it was a little challenging to navigate, but now I think it's stable."
"There is room for improvement in the speed of the data migration process."
"The initial setup is complex. This is not a really easy solution. It is very large, so it's hard to install, but it's not impossible."
"There could be more collaboration with other tools like Data Factory and Databricks."
"The solution requires familiarity with its language so can be tricky."
"Their support is nice but their responses aren't effective."
"Its price could be better. It is expensive. I am not sure if Microsoft Master Data Services is included in this. If not, Master Data Services can be integrated with Azure SQL. I have only used Master Data Services on-premises."
"I think this product can improve its integrations with business intelligence software. The integrations are always cumbersome due to the approvals, passwords, et cetera."
"The management is entirely controlled by Microsoft, so there are some restrictions."
"It's not a feature, but the solution only offers a certain amount of memory and that's limiting. The scalability should be extended to more than two terabytes."
"It would help if the solution was more secure."
