Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Not only does it provide a mature, reliable solution for DR. It also helps if application owners need to look into data which is a couple of hours old, using Flashback Database on the standby database.""One of the key features is Oracle Database as a Service. We chose to implement it as a service, which provides good performance, for example. Flexibility and other features let us implement database research with the SQL team range of features also.""I will rate this solution a nine out of ten. We have been using this solution for the past ten years. We will continue the partnership. I do not expect to see any further integration of the tool with our software. I will recommend this tool to those with a large database.""If the solution is installed in your environment correctly, you are not going to have any issues whatsoever. It's problem-free.""In terms of structured databases, I support SQL-based databases. SQL has its place, but not for plannable structure and transactional databases. At the same time, Oracle is very much optimized.""The most valuable feature of Oracle Database as a Service is the stopwatch.""Oracle DBaaS performs well. It's similar to the MS Store.""We have found all of the features of this solution to be valuable to our organization."

"The in-memory data makes it fast.""The solution's technical support team is good...The solution's initial setup process was straightforward.""The most valuable features of Redis are its ease of use and speed. It does not have access to the disc and it is fast.""Redis is better tested and is used by large companies. I haven't found a direct alternative to what Redis offers. Plus, there are a lot of support and learning resources available, which help you use Redis efficiently.""The product offers fast access to my database.""It makes operations more efficient. The information processing is very fast, and very responsive. It's all about the technology.""The online interface is very fast and easy to use.""Redis is a simple, powerful, and fast solution."

Cons
"The product is very expensive.""The solution needs more certifications for other products and applications because migration to the cloud is difficult without them.""The performance needs improvement.""It is very hard to support Oracle Database.""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.""The solution’s price could be reduced.""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.""Oracle Database as a Service is difficult to set up. They should make it easier."

More Oracle Database as a Service Cons →

"There is a lack of documentation on the scalability of the solution.""In future releases, I would like Redis to provide its users with an option like schema validation. Currently, the solution lacks to offer such functionality.""Sometimes, we use Redis as a cluster, and the clusters can sometimes suffer some issues and bring some downtime to your application.""It's actually quite expensive.""The only thing is the lack of a GUI application. There was a time when we needed to resolve an issue in production. If we had a GUI, it would have been easier.""I would prefer it if there was more information available about Redis. That would make it easier for new beginners. Currently, there is a lack of resources.""The initial setup took some time as our technical team needed to familiarize themselves with Redis.""The development of clusters could improve. Additionally, it would be helpful if it was integrated with Amazon AWS or Google Cloud."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The licensing is a nightmare. Tons of options which need to be licensed individually, and no real offering for VMware or other Hypervisors."
  • "There should be a standard way to license the database in a virtual environment (e.g. VMware) and there should be a low-end version (like Standard Edition One) again."
  • "The price depends on the solution you choose: standard, enterprise, or high performance. For example, enterprise can start between 0.4 an hour up to 1,800. Additional fees also depends on what package you choose. Your feels will be different if you choose the standard, enterprise, high performance, or extreme package. You will pay in relation to what option you ask for. The price is very good if you compare it to other databases."
  • "The pricing may seem expensive, but the value corresponds to the quality of the product."
  • "The pricing is a little bit expensive."
  • "The price of Oracle Database as a Service could be better."
  • "I do not know firsthand about the price of Oracle Database as a Service, but it is known that Oracle solutions tend to be priced higher than competitors."
  • "For on-premises, a perpetual license is a standard $17,500 plus 22% for one year of support."
