Find out in this report how the two Relational Databases Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Replication is a valuable feature and easy to use."
"It supports multiple applications and business intelligence tools."
"It supports in-house-built applications in .NET and VB6"
"IBM Informix benefits users with high availability and good integration capabilities."
"The stability is incredible. I have customers with uptimes of several years."
"So far, we do not have a lot of issues. It's pretty problem-free."
"Replication, all levels of replication, query charting, and the MongoDB embedded are the most valuable features of this solution."
"The scalability is very good."
"You can scale the solution as needed."
"Maintaining databases is a valuable feature for us."
"It's easy to use and works great."
"Multitenant has a container database with many pluggable databases."
"The most valuable features are the speed and ease of use."
"The database becomes pluggable. Inside this container is called a pluggable database and each application contains this pluggable database inside Multitenant. We can then share resources like control files, memory, etc. This lets you stop and start each application without impacting the others. This resource sharing is the most valuable feature"
"The best thing about Oracle Multitenant is its ability to consolidate multiple databases into one engine."
"The feature that I like on Multitenant is the ease - it is very easy for my team to run the database."
"In my opinion, the packages could be improved. The version I use doesn't allow for packages. I can do some general procedures, but no packages like in Oracle. So, develop separate modules in SQL language. This would be most beneficial for me."
"The solution lacks some functionality."
"The pricing is a bit expensive."
"This product could be made easier to use for beginners."
"It would be helpful to have IBM salespeople know that Informix exists, and sell it. Currently, it is completely ignored by IBM."
"This solution is in need of more current tools."
"The solution really doesn't add new features very often."
"I really would love to have a QT plugin."
"It can be complicated to scale up the solution, but it's scalable."
"It would be beneficial to include this solution with Oracle Enterprise, but Oracle charges additional fees for it."
"While the product is overall excellent, it is quite expensive."
"The solution lacks a GUI for commands."
"That said, Oracle in general doesn't invest in their UI for any of their applications. If we're talking about the dashboard or other user experience, there is room for improvement. I'm talking about on premises. The cloud version has started to improve."
"This solution is a bit complicated when collecting from containers - that feature should be a bit better."
"The user interface for this solution can be made better."
"Technical support could be faster."
