More Actian Ingres Cons →

"Sometimes, we cannot upgrade or patch it easily. The performance needs to improve.""Oracle could improve its capacity for built-in visualization.""The solution's initial setup is not easy.""In my opinion only one single command should be used for all ODA models, as it’s confusing.""The setup is a bit complex.""If we were able to use Oracle Database to create mobile apps, that would be great. I don't know multiple languages, like Java, etc. I need to learn a separate language, right now in order to do this.""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.""The feature that I would like to see improve is the interface. It is really not good. I almost have to work on script by script in it. There is always some issue with the user interface."
