"The scalability is very good."
"Every version is faster than the previous."
"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."
"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."
"The solution's stability, performance, enhanced functionality, and replication are all great features."
"For IoT business cases, having Informix Enterprise Edition work on edge computers, like Raspberry Pi and using Informix replication, makes complex situations simple to build and maintain."
"So far, we do not have a lot of issues. It's pretty problem-free."
"It's easy to use and works great."
"The database becomes pluggable. Inside this container is called a pluggable database and each application contains this pluggable database inside Multitenant. We can then share resources like control files, memory, etc. This lets you stop and start each application without impacting the others. This resource sharing is the most valuable feature"
"You can scale the solution as needed."
"Multitenant has a container database with many pluggable databases."
"The most valuable features are the speed and ease of use."
"The feature that I like on Multitenant is the ease - it is very easy for my team to run the database."
"The best thing about Oracle Multitenant is its ability to consolidate multiple databases into one engine."
"Maintaining databases is a valuable feature for us."
"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."
"I would like to see backups from secondary servers."
"There should be more intelligence surrounding discovering data to be able to automatically create indexes."
"This solution is in need of more current tools."
"The solution lacks some functionality."
"This product could be made easier to use for beginners."
"The pricing is a bit expensive."
"The user interface for this solution can be made better."
"This solution is a bit complicated when collecting from containers - that feature should be a bit better."
"It would be beneficial to include this solution with Oracle Enterprise, but Oracle charges additional fees for it."
"Technical support could be faster."
"While the product is overall excellent, it is quite expensive."
"It can be complicated to scale up the solution, but it's scalable."
"That said, Oracle in general doesn't invest in their UI for any of their applications. If we're talking about the dashboard or other user experience, there is room for improvement. I'm talking about on premises. The cloud version has started to improve."
"The solution lacks a GUI for commands."
