"The most valuable features of Amazon RDS are its scalability, reliability, and intelligence."
"It makes it easy to administer the database. It helps to scale your database by providing Read Replicas, which reduce transaction time. It is highly available and durable which helps in disaster recovery and management."
"Amazon RDS handles database backup mechanisms and patch management."
"Relational databases excel in extensive normalization, eliminating data redundancy and efficiently structuring tables which leads to a clear and efficient relationship between tables using primary keys."
"The product is very, very easy to use."
"Being able to change the size of an RDS MySQL instance is amazing."
"Amazon RDS is good for backups, auto-scanning, and disaster recovery. It's also appropriate for the office server."
"Exporting and importing is easy because of its cleanliness, making the process easier. However, setting up the Data Guard was more difficult. Despite this, the client experienced lower downtime."
"I like that Oracle Exadata Cloud at Customer is a stable, well-positioned product in the market today, and it's very scalable."
"I am particularly fond of the intelligent capabilities that enhance the backend, utilizing technology to analyze SQL queries."
"The most valuable feature is that it is based on Exadata infrastructure, which is Oracle 's leading engineered system that is trusted, fault-tolerant, and has unique performance features."
"Currently, we are using Fargate. Instead of that, we are planning to use EC2 instances, but we are facing some problems, and we are unable to enable NAT gateway for Elastic Load Balancer. When we enable auto-scaling, the instance count increases, and we get IP addresses dynamically. We need to whitelist the IPs of these instances, but there is no option to whitelist those IPs in Amazon RDS. We need one static IP that we can assign to ELB so that we can whitelist this IP."
"There are some advanced monitoring queries that we cannot execute because Amazon doesn't give admin privileges to the end users."
"The solution could improve by adding a sandbox environment and more security."
"The Performance Monitor they have is a little clanky, at least in regards to the UI."
"The solution could improve the administration tools."
"Amazon RDS could improve by having more sophisticated. I use other solutions that have better technology for more difficult tasks."
"I also don't think it's very scalable."
"The support team of Amazon RDS provides us with some links to go through whenever we face some issues, but it doesn't work for us."
"We had some problems in the developer's environment. We had some problems with the initial installation environment."
"As a customer, you can't see the boot messages of your virtualized guest machines."
"A room for improvement in Oracle Exadata Cloud at Customer is that they need to train more partners to gain more knowledge because currently, they are keeping a lot to themselves. For example, they are still keeping a lot of information on their campus, so information sharing is limited."
"For the data migration, we used ZDM. It was not integrated with the databases, and the documentation lacks clarity."
