My company is satisfied with Oracle Database Cloud Service. I also like the availability of the service. It's a trustworthy service. I didn't experience any downtime from it. My company also has additional features included in the contract, such as WAP, which makes operations easier. My team can implement all the architecture with the features and services that Oracle Database Cloud Service offers. Technically, this is a very, very, good product or database, whether on-premises or on the cloud."
"Security is the most valuable feature provided by the product."
"I am impressed with the product's partitioning and advanced data card."
"Data storage is the most valuable feature of Oracle Database Cloud Service."
"The memory is the solution's most valuable feature. It's the main feature of HANA. Others are still the regular IT databases that are on storage and are therefore much slower than HANA. The solution is quite fast."
"SAP HANA is a stable solution."
"The performance is very, very good. It's one of the best aspects of the solution."
"It's stable and reliable."
"It is very stable and very innovative. You can integrate many applications with it."
"SAP HANA's interface is pretty user-friendly."
"If you want to scale with new processes and new reports, that's fairly easy."
"We can save data very easily."
"The ease of administration, in general, is the solution's most valuable aspect."
"We found it to be quite scalable."
"The technical support is good."
"In Poland, SQL Server is the most popular database engine, and overall, our customers like it."
"SQL Server Profiler makes finding and debugging easy."
"SQL Server scales well."
"As a data warehouse and storage solution, it's quite good."
"The solution has a reliable database."
"The initial setup is a bit complex for the beginner, so you need a little technical experience to install it."
"Oracle Database Cloud Service could improve by adding some cross-region replication features."
"The pricing must be improved."
"We encountered connection failures for some of our sites."
"Oracle Database Cloud Service is a good engine and at the moment, there isn't any new feature I can think of that I'd like added to the service. The only problem I see in Oracle Database Cloud Service is it's more commercial, so it has a relation to how it deals with customers. I don't feel secure in a deal with Oracle because that team changes the conditions each year, and there's no representative from the team that talks to my company about new needs. Oracle needs to improve its relationship with customers and partners in general."
"It would be nice to have a data dictionary reporting feature in the solution."
"Oracle should work on the solution's compatibility issues with the operating system."
"We're actually going through licensing issues and are looking to perhaps changing to another solution, something that is perhaps open-source."
"The relationship with a partner that sells SAP could be better. We depend much more on our own development, and the partner is for selling us the solutions, so we need them to be able to supply help and answers. The partner isn't very helpful, and we have to rely on our own knowledge and research."
"In terms of improvement, the speed is not as good as we thought it would be. That is why we are trying different solutions that will be built with different technologies."
"In a future release, SAP HANA should add a module for taxation, such as income tax and withholding tax."
"SAP HANA is not perfect and they could improve by having more options and more integration."
"There's an issue in the partition. When you record more than two million records, partitioning does not work well. In Oracle it's easy. SAP must resolve this issue in order to be more competitive with Oracle."
"I'd just like to see some more improvements done on the training, both on the functional training and technical training sides as a part of the complete solution."
"The worst thing about SAP HANA is the price; it's very expensive. The licensing cost, implementation cost, hosting cost, and appliance cost are all high."
"FI, or the financial module of SAP, has room for improvement. It has to have some better localization for the Middle East, especially in regards to taxes and the letter of credit cycle. I would like to see better localization from the HCM."
"SQL Server could improve the integration with nonrational database solutions, such as MongoDB."
"I would like to see more integration with other products and it needs to be more secure."
"CAL licenses should cost less. Microsoft usually prices high for client access licenses. Server plus user client access license (CAL) licensing requires a separate Server license for each server on which the software is installed, plus a user CAL for each user accessing the server."
"The reporting services of the solution (SSRS and now Power BI) are the less valuable items of the SQL Server suite."
"In the next releases, I would only like more enhanced backups and more restore points."
"It would definitely be better if SQL Server were free."
"In terms of what could be improved, everything on-premise is now moving to the cloud. Obviously SQL Server has also moved, because Microsoft Excel has its own cloud called Azure Finance. Every solution comes with its own advantages and disadvantages."
"The agility of the non-SQL-based features is relevant on the market."
