We performed a comparison between Oracle Java DB and SQL Server based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."It's very clever."
"There have been no issues in relation to stability. We've never really had do to any recoveries. It is very stable."
"The most valuable feature is automation."
"Able to write queries more efficiently and the management of data has become better and easier."
"The solution is stable."
"The additional value of having Java inside the Oracle database is all the security that is applied to an Oracle database will be enforced on Java's stored procedures as well."
"It has a programming language so anything that we require for Selenium is all available there."
"The most valuable feature of the solution, compared to other RDBMS solutions, such as Oracle MySQL or IBM DB2, it is more user-friendly and has backward compatibility. For example, if you have an application that requires an old version of SQL Server and you have the latest version of the license, you are able to install and use it in backward compatibility mode. They keep supporting the existing legacy application."
"SQL Server, a widely adopted database management system, is utilized across numerous sectors. Initially competing with Oracle and Db2, SQL Server has gained popularity. It serves as the backend database for a variety of applications."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"The product has very good online documentation that can be used for troubleshooting."
"It is easy to manage for the administrator. It is also easy to use for applications that are Windows-based. It is a very stable product, and it has got backup and recovery tools."
"SQL Server is a highly stable solution."
"It is the latest technology and pretty powerful in terms of the high availability of the virtual server."
"I like the availability group functionality. We are setting up more clusters using availability groups. The enterprise licensing or Software Assurance makes it a little bit cheaper as well. It is nice to have that read-only copy for reporting and everything else."
"In terms of improvement, I'd like an automation tool that is lower priced. The core prices are very high."
"The solution could be more user-friendly."
"Needs improvement in consistency issues with respect to timeframes."
"It'll be better if Oracle Java supports open source technologies, like Node.js."
"The biggest lesson that I have learned from using Oracle products is vendor lock-in."
"The solution should continue to keep updating and improving the Java language."
"Maintenance of the solution is an area of concern, and improvements can be helpful."
"Its support for JSON should be improved. It does support JSON, but the support is not good enough currently. They should also improve the way indexes work. Its performance can also be improved because sometimes it becomes very slow for certain table designs. It cannot have more than a certain amount of data. As compared to other databases, its capability to handle large volumes of data is not very good."
"Security is an issue."
"The maintenance and tasks should be improved so as to reduce database files."
"Price could be cheaper, and access to reporting tools should be better."
"Security is an area that can be improved."
"The stability of the solution should be improved in the next release. Sometimes it is great, sometimes it is troublesome. I would also like data conversion and the code pages to be a bit more straightforward."
"Better integration with other platforms would be an improvement."
