"Initial setup of databases is not a problem."
"I like the solution’s stability, performance, and fault alerts."

"They offer some basic services but the choice is not as rich as other cloud providers."

"The solution's scalability is an area with shortcomings...Mid-level customers feel that Oracle is not scalable in their environment and is an enterprise-level segment solution."
