Find out in this report how the two Open Source Databases solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I find the ease of deployment to be the most valuable aspect of this solution."
"Robustness is the absolutely main feature."
"I like that we don't have to pay external fees to migrate this data. So, we are looking to relocate from Postgres or EDB."
"The product was easy to use."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is reliable, offers good performance, and is easy to use."
"The documentation is very well written."
"I appreciate the fact that, once the database is embedded, it doesn't need to be administered, and removes the requirement for a specific server."
"The solution is very useful for stock management."
"The most valuable aspect of the product is data migration."
"Oracle MySQL Cloud Service handles data easily."
"It is very easy to start working with the product."
"The product is good for tuning."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"The solution's performance is good."
"Oracle MySQL Cloud Service is easy to use and implement."
"The scalability of the database is absolutely guaranteed by the new features."
"The solution could improve by providing partitioning and encryption. It is not at the higher level of database solution but it could be with some upgrades."
"The main feature I expect is to be able to work with different databases at the same time because that's a wishlist item for me."
"Technical support and performance could be better. We have some problems with this solution, but we don't know if the problem is with the database or the configuration. For example, sometimes, the users can't access the database."
"It is not easy to integrate the tool with Visual Studio."
"The security of the users could improve in Firebird SQL."
"I don't think the solution is very scalable, because the scalability of the performance when using more than one process is not very good."
"On large databases, we have some difficulties."
"In the next release, it should support JSON, XML, and replication with third-party tools."
"In a production environment, upgrading from a lower to an upper version is a very long process that needs to be improved."
"Integrating business intelligence or NLP solutions would help us save time and would prevent us from having to take a deep dive. Data problems seem to multiply on the system when you interact with it. Automation would save a lot of man-hours."
"The support is not that great. They're not really supporting directly anymore and relying on experts to figure out technical issues."
"They could include more advanced features like clustering and replication in the Oracle databases."
"Improvement could be made in the workflow, particularly when it comes to making changes or implementing certain functions."
"The user interface is not simple."
"There could be more courses where the people could learn more easily how to use the tool."
"The technical support is in need of improvement."
