We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.

More LocalDB Pros →

"The feature that I like on Multitenant is the ease - it is very easy for my team to run the database.""Maintaining databases is a valuable feature for us.""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""The best thing about Oracle Multitenant is its ability to consolidate multiple databases into one engine.""It's easy to use and works great.""You can scale the solution as needed.""The most valuable features are the speed and ease of use.""Multitenant has a container database with many pluggable databases."

Cons
"The initial setup is complex and requires a skilled person.""The solution needs to create a management tool. Right now, the solution has tools for creating a local installation, but it's too simplistic. We need something that's a bit more complex so that we can extend the tools with our scripts.""The internal connection features of LocalDB could improve.""The ALM features can be improved, but the database by itself is reliable."

More LocalDB Cons →

"The solution lacks a GUI for commands.""This solution is a bit complicated when collecting from containers - that feature should be a bit better.""Technical support could be faster.""It would be beneficial to include this solution with Oracle Enterprise, but Oracle charges additional fees for it.""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.""While the product is overall excellent, it is quite expensive.""It can be complicated to scale up the solution, but it's scalable.""The user interface for this solution can be made better."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The licensing cost is too high for LocalDB."
  • "The fees are fair."
  • More LocalDB Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "This solution is a little bit pricey."
  • "For me, I will go with it if I have the budget. Some features are nicer than before, but at the end of the day, you always have a limited budget. I prefer to upgrade and get a specific hardware when possible. At the end, you will have to make a compromise. You will not get everything you would have liked to have."

    Top Answer:I would like to have more integration.
    Top Answer:Technical support could be faster. It's a nice product. It rarely disappoints anyone, but when it disappoints, support takes a lot, a bit of time before they sort you out. If they could improve that… more »

    Overview
    LocalDB is a lightweight version of the SQL Server Express Database Engine that is targeted for program development. LocalDB starts on demand and runs in user mode, so there is no complex configuration.

    Oracle Multitenant - an Oracle Database 12c Enterprise Edition option – introduces a new architecture that enables customers to easily consolidate multiple databases, without changing their applications. This new architecture delivers all the benefits of managing many databases as one, yet retains the isolation and resource prioritization of separate databases. In addition, Oracle Multitenant enables rapid provisioning and upgrades, and fully complements other options including Oracle Real Application Clusters and Active Data Guard. p>
