Pros
"The product’s most valuable feature is affordable pricing compared to other providers.""Oracle DCS's most valuable features are its high availability and scalability.""Security is the most valuable feature provided by the product.""Data storage is the most valuable feature of Oracle Database Cloud Service.""I am impressed with the product's partitioning and advanced data card.""What I like best about Oracle Database Cloud Service is its nice performance. My company doesn't have any problems with the service. The technical support for it is also good. My company is satisfied with Oracle Database Cloud Service. I also like the availability of the service. It's a trustworthy service. I didn't experience any downtime from it. My company also has additional features included in the contract, such as WAP, which makes operations easier. My team can implement all the architecture with the features and services that Oracle Database Cloud Service offers. Technically, this is a very, very, good product or database, whether on-premises or on the cloud.""It is a very stable program.""The most valuable feature of Oracle Database Cloud Service is its cloud capabilities."

"Unbeatable speed and compression with a colummn-structured relational database.""It is very robust for ad hoc DW queries and its columnar compression is unique and valuable.""Columnar storage allows high compression, high load rates and high query performance.""Valuable features for us include the compression, speed, fast response time, and easy object maintenance.""The primary benefit of SAP IQ is its ability to limit the expansion of the costly SAP HANA database, which has limited storage capacity. This necessitates a form of data management that involves moving data from SAP HANA to SAP NLS, which is essentially archiving. This allows us to retain access to the data via a link whenever it is required.""The column-based technologies (basically all the database for ITP) are used for SAP IQ. It is used as a column-based solution."

Cons
"The initial setup is a bit complex for the beginner, so you need a little technical experience to install it.""Oracle should work on the solution's compatibility issues with the operating system.""We encountered connection failures for some of our sites.""The pricing must be improved.""Oracle Database Cloud Service could improve by adding some cross-region replication features.""Oracle Database Cloud Service is a good engine and at the moment, there isn't any new feature I can think of that I'd like added to the service. The only problem I see in Oracle Database Cloud Service is it's more commercial, so it has a relation to how it deals with customers. I don't feel secure in a deal with Oracle because that team changes the conditions each year, and there's no representative from the team that talks to my company about new needs. Oracle needs to improve its relationship with customers and partners in general.""We're actually going through licensing issues and are looking to perhaps changing to another solution, something that is perhaps open-source.""It would be nice to have a data dictionary reporting feature in the solution."

More Oracle Database Cloud Service Cons →

"The organization who owns the product does not support it well and appears not to be doing significant development for the future.""Multiplex is very problematic. There are consistency problems in the metadata, meaning it is possible to lose metadata consistency. You should make sure you have healthy backups.""Concurrency and functional error messaging.""The solution works best when combined with other SAP solutions. If the environment has other systems other options might be better.""I think the universe should be part of the Sybase IQ tool set.""The room for improvement would be the marketing of the product, because this product is much better than advertised."
