"Oracle Database Appliance is a stable solution. We have clients that have been running it for 10 years.""NVM Express (NVMe) solid-state drives: This technology brings outstanding I/O performance for midsize databases. We have tested it by doing POCs on customer sites and the results were quite satisfying.""The most valuable feature is the performance.""The performance due to the all-flash of ODA is very nice.""Oracle Database Appliances are specifically designed for Oracle databases. They have built-in utilities and tools that simplify management, making them the best option for Oracle database management systems.""The product is very light.""The main feature is the management and manageability of the tool.

Cons

More Actian Ingres Cons →

"They could incorporate a more secure and internet-centric management system for the platform.""The main thing would be to make ODA more affordable, to make it a more economical machine. Also, I would like to see virtualization, so you could implement all of your functions on one machine. Finally, improvement in the speed and performance would be good.""Virtualization needs improvement. It's not easy to back up the virtual machines in the Oracle VM architecture. I would also like to see native support for Veeam Backup Software.""Virtualization features could also be improved. A web-based GUI would be a good start.""The product is quite complex to set up, initially. It would be ideal if it was simpler.""Oracle Database Appliance could improve by having better integration.""In terms of what can be be improved, I'd say Artificial Intelligence, AI. It would be really helpful if AI was incorporated within the solution.""The product's pricing is too high. We plan to migrate to another database in three to four years."
