"The stability is incredible. I have customers with uptimes of several years."
"The solution's stability, performance, enhanced functionality, and replication are all great features."
"The scalability is very good."
"The most valuable feature is concurrency and locking because my customers usually use databases in OLTP mode. So, for a large number of competitive users. Other features that are well valued are quick large-scale data types. It is better than Oracle."
"It supports in-house-built applications in .NET and VB6"
"The initial setup is pretty easy."
"This solution has made financial reporting possible by allowing financial people the opportunity to set Informix to "Auto Pilot" so that they can attend other duties."
"It's very clever."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is automation."
"The solution is stable."
"Able to write queries more efficiently and the management of data has become better and easier."
"There have been no issues in relation to stability. We've never really had do to any recoveries. It is very stable."
"It has a programming language so anything that we require for Selenium is all available there."
"In my opinion, the packages could be improved. The version I use doesn't allow for packages. I can do some general procedures, but no packages like in Oracle. So, develop separate modules in SQL language. This would be most beneficial for me."
"Continue extending the SQL language for compatibility with the competition's language, including Stored Procedure Language."
"The pricing is a bit expensive."
"The solution really doesn't add new features very often."
"I would like to see backups from secondary servers."
"I experienced poor input/output (IO) performance."
"This product could be made easier to use for beginners."
"The technical support services need substantial improvement."
"In terms of improvement, I'd like an automation tool that is lower priced. The core prices are very high."
"The solution should continue to keep updating and improving the Java language."
"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."
