"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."
"I am impressed with the product's partitioning and advanced data card."
"Security is the most valuable feature provided by the product."
"It is a very stable program."
"Oracle DCS's most valuable features are its high availability and scalability."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Database Cloud Service is its cloud capabilities."
"Data storage is the most valuable feature of Oracle Database Cloud Service."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is that it is easy to code."
"SQL Server and their offers are very good. You can switch over, export, and do other things."
"The availability is the most valuable feature. It has high availability. It also has good performance."
"SQL Server's most valuable features are that it is a large number of community resources to help you out. that's one, and then it is quite powerful."
"The solution is stable. It's reliable."
"I have contacted technical support, and overall my experience with technical support was okay."
"The latest version supports for big data analytics. SQL Server's vector processing-based batch execution mode is now available to the entire execution of R or Python code. Since much of the work that tends to be done in R and Python involves aggregation, batch mode - which processes rows of data several at a time, can be very helpful."
"For my business requirements, the performance is good."
"Oracle should work on the solution's compatibility issues with the operating system."
"The initial setup is a bit complex for the beginner, so you need a little technical experience to install it."
"We encountered connection failures for some of our sites."
"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."
"The pricing must be improved."
"Oracle Database Cloud Service could improve by adding some cross-region replication features."
"Maintenance of the solution is an area of concern, and improvements can be helpful."
"I would like to have the option to use fewer processors for certain tasks, thus reducing the licensing fee."
"On the SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) side, I have noticed more bugs in terms of being able to connect to our SQL servers. I can't tell how many times my recent server list got dropped or cleaned out. It is a pain, and it would be nice to have that recent connect list when you connect in. For whatever reason, once in a while, I get a hard error, and it'll close. When I go back in, everything is cleared out. It is annoying when you are working with more than a hundred database instances."
"Our biggest problem with SQL Server is latency. The communication between the cloud and the on-premises environment is slow. The data needs to be encrypted for security, and you have to exchange data certificates between environments. You can adjust the configuration to improve performance, but it would be nice if SQL Server had some templates to resolve problems."
"The solution could be better integrated with the SQL Server Studio tool."
"I would like to see more integration with other platforms."
"The pricing in general could be better."
"In the next releases, I would only like more enhanced backups and more restore points."
