Oracle Database Reviews

We use this solution for our applications that deal with online trading and data analysis. 

Currently, we have two customers using this solution. 

Oracle Database has many useful functions and features suitable for big programs and complex business models.

Oracle Database could be easier to use. 

I have been using Oracle Database for five years. 

Oracle Database is very stable.

Oracle Database could be more scalable.

The support is quite slow. It would be nice if they could respond faster. 

Deployment and maintenance are handled by an Oracle team. We pay them for this service. 

Our customers buy licenses from Oracle directly.

I would recommend this solution to others. Overall, on a scale from one to ten, I would give Oracle Database a rating of eight. 

The asset properties feature is the most valuable one since none of the other databases are able to match this particular aspect. This product has the correct way in which asset transactions are being handled.

There is need for improvement in the Oracle support. We get good support only when we have severity in cases and otherwise it's really tough to get. Thus, they need to improve their support for the lower level programs.

For example, for the SRS over the weekend, there is no support available. Sometimes what happens is that these things are not business critical but those are the ones that are driving the business; we have to hold that.

We have not experienced any downtime. It is very stable.

This product scales well. Exadata, which is giving it, is a powerful machine in regards to storage and so on. For a single instance, we need to have good hardware underneath; only then, it can scale. However, it's doing quite well if we have that.

Oracle support is really good. If we have some issues, we open a case and we get good support from them.

You should use it. I would recommend it.

I would also recommend to do some certification programs so as to get the best out of this product and get a detailed exposure of the core issues.

Vertical scaling is the most valuable feature for us in our use of it with version 11g.

For the company, the greatest improvement came with the integration and higher availability of data. We need to track our customers' needs, and the data with Big Data Solutions is now stored and used to get end user reports via QlikView.

What needs to improve is the real-time query response. We will be changing the Database over to SSD soon, which will improve those response times.

We are using an IBM AIX POWER machine with Oracle 11g. We want to upgrade Oracle Database to 12c.

There were no issues with the deployment.

We have had no issues with the stability.

We've had no issues scaling it.

Oracle and IBM often come into the office to discuss the situation and any current issues. We also get help with our teams who operate the systems.

There are many use cases for the Oracle Database and if I encounter any problems, there's information available which I can reference.

We are the ones who are developing the system and delivering it to our customers, so it does indirectly benefit our organization from this perspective. The fact that we are able to leverage the available information that I mentioned earlier, means we are able to make sure that development is successful.

The response speed of the support as well as lowering the price.

In comparison with other commercial databases, it's more stable but there are many challenges that we feel should be corrected.

For us, there are not so many cases that require scalability.

I think it takes longer because we're in Japan and if we have a problem then we need to pass the information to the US and it takes them time to respond.

Relatively speaking it's easy.

Oracle is the number one product I recommend as long as the customer has sufficient budget.

I'm not using a lot of different Oracle Database functions, but for us, the fact that they have a documentation in Japanese is quite important. It's quite easy for us to find what we want to do. We wish that the community in the Japanese language would become more activate in the future.

The benefit that we get from using the Oracle Database is the sense of security or the stability.

Others would be better fit to answer this, but I hope that the product will improve in terms of usability (user-friendliness).

After the release we need to do a performance tuning, so we need to figure out what we can do for the visualization for the performance tuning. We wish that Oracle could offer this as a product so that we are able to easily start using it. 

No, but I was involved partially when we developed the environment of the Oracle Database. At that time I had the impression that it was not so difficult, it was rather smooth.

We compared it to other competitors. In the end, the end-user is the one to select which product they want to use. What we can offer is that in terms of the security or in terms of the share, how many companies are using it, which big names are using the Oracle product?

Our clients are using it.

It is user-friendly. It didn't take me much time to learn it. 

We can understand the real issue or message for most of the errors. We can easily understand why we are getting an error, which is helpful for fixing it.

There are a few errors for which Oracle doesn't provide detailed information. It doesn't clearly indicate the columns or lines for which we are getting an error. It would be better if they provide more detailed information for such errors.

I have been using this solution for about 4.3 years.

It is stable.

It is scalable.

They are responding on time. I'm satisfied with their response.

For me, it's easy.

I would recommend it to others. It is suitable for small, medium, and large enterprises, and I haven't faced any issues with it so far.

For me, it is a 10 out of 10. 

I mainly work on business intelligence with Qlik and use Oracle Database for the reporting and replicating. Together, we use Oracle Database and Oracle MySQL for this PoC.

We use MySQL to feed the data to the Qlik compose.

The procedures work very well. 

It's fast compared to other databases.

The syntax options are available in Google.

The initial setup should be improved.

I have been working with Oracle Database for three years.

I have not worked on Oracle Database a lot, as I concentrate on business intelligence. However, I have not experienced any issues or limitations.

It's a scalable product.

I have not contacted technical support. It's is handled through my internet team.

During the installation, we had to install certificates, but it was not mentioned in the documentation.

Definitely, I would recommend this solution to others.

I would rate Oracle Database a nine out of ten.
