Find out in this report how the two Database as a Service solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Improves client satisfaction by decreasing their problems."
"Oracle Database as a Service's most valuable feature is its financial applications."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Database as a Service is that it is managed by the vendor and you do not have to purchase on-premise hardware."
"It's a scalable product."
"The solution's scalability and flexibility are very good and implementation is easy."
"The most valuable Oracle Database as a Service is security."
"As a database administrator, it has a lot of features to help you manage the database and the backup."
"I would rate this solution as an eight out of ten because the stability and performance are good and the solution does not need to be maintained a lot."
"It's easy to use and maintain. If we look at the development of the maintenance team, we are not directly responsible for any infrastructure issues. We have too many positive sides to that. No maintenance, easy to use, and we'll know the limits very well."
"Coding does not require much effort."
"The solution is efficient and easy to use."
"The stability is excellent because it is easier for us to connect to the cloud rather than connecting to MSSP."
"I am very happy with this solution; right now, I don't think there is anything I would change."
"One of the most valuable aspects is its seamless integration with Azure Data Factory."
"Because the solution is cloud-based it's highly manageable, it makes maintenance of logs, space, storage and backups much easier compared to a traditional SQL server installation."
"It is easily scalable, and it is faster than SQL Server. It is also less expensive than using SQL Server. It has the pay-as-you-go model, and the charges are based on the usage."
"It would be better if we could have a little bit of automation or a chance for autoscaling with Oracle Database as a Service."
"The area in this solution that could be improved is that currently, it's difficult to do the setup. You need to do all kinds of command lines to get it set up. If that setup becomes easier and easily manageable, that would be great."
"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 a good product but costly. Scaling it is challenging."
"The price of the solution is an area of concern. From an improvement perspective, the price of the solution should be lowered."
"The solution can be improved by reducing the pricing, making the deployment less complex, and increasing security."
"The solution needs more certifications for other products and applications because migration to the cloud is difficult without them."
"I was using a user list for connecting a program in OTF for getting information. The connection in SQL Azure can improve by being easier because at the moment I have to use private certificates for user authentication. I had to do additional configuration to have the connections."
"The initial setup is complex."
"SQL Azure could improve by adding more features."
"It's a little bit limited in terms of functionality."
"I haven't explored SQL Azure's features much, but I would like to see some better integration with Python."
"Operational cost needs improvement."
"If it's a transitional system, there is a lot of reporting, so the solution becomes a bit slow when it's churning out tons of data, but it's good for a mid-sized application"
"The solution requires familiarity with its language so can be tricky."
