We performed a comparison between Oracle Database and Oracle Database Cloud Service based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Relational Databases Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I like that it's stable. What's good is that Oracle manages the infrastructure. We have got better because they update the server by default or whenever it's needed. They try to fix it server by server because of their own support plans."
"I like the query part and the optimization of the query to get the data. I also like its speedy recovery and stability. In the security part, the loss of data is minimal for any crashes that could happen. First of all, it might not occur, or if it happens, the recovery of the data is smoother than others."
"The solution can scale well."
"Technical support is great."
"The solution has every security aspect that needs to be there in enterprise software."
"It stores a lot of data in a short time."
"We find technical support to be very responsive. They briefly describe everything on phone and we handle the operations. I'd say we've been more than satisfied with their level of service. They're quite helpful and knowledgeable."
"This solution is very reliable. The performance is great."
"The product’s most valuable feature is affordable pricing compared to other providers."
"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."
"Oracle DCS's most valuable features are its high availability and scalability."
"Data storage is the most valuable feature of Oracle Database Cloud Service."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Database Cloud Service is its cloud capabilities."
"I am impressed with the product's partitioning and advanced data card."
"It is a very stable program."
"Security is the most valuable feature provided by the product."
"The pricing is the one sticking point for the solution because it is very expensive."
"While working with 20-30 terabytes is okay using this solution, if you have Big Data, data that's much bigger than that, you will run into issues. It's a problem I have right now. They should support much more data."
"Oracle is a costly product, and it requires a lot of resources."
"It would be nice if creating indexes and other small, repetitive tasks could be automated."
"Their local support can be better. Local support is a challenge in Africa for all IT companies."
"If their database encryption features could come in bytes, that would be a major improvement. They should bring the encryption model to their standard databases as well."
"The integration can be made much easier for the Oracle tools, for example, Oracle Database or OPI. The integration sometimes can be a little complicated for us because we have to do a number of integrations with other tools, such as Oracle computation. The integration could be more streamlined and easier to work with."
"The high price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Oracle Database Cloud Service could improve by adding some cross-region replication features."
"Oracle should work on the solution's compatibility issues with the operating system."
"We encountered connection failures for some of our sites."
"We're actually going through licensing issues and are looking to perhaps changing to another solution, something that is perhaps open-source."
"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."
"The initial setup is a bit complex for the beginner, so you need a little technical experience to install it."
"The pricing must be improved."
"It would be nice to have a data dictionary reporting feature in the solution."
