"There have been no issues in relation to stability. We've never really had do to any recoveries. It is very stable."
"The solution is stable."
"The additional value of having Java inside the Oracle database is all the security that is applied to an Oracle database will be enforced on Java's stored procedures as well."
"The most valuable feature is automation."
"Able to write queries more efficiently and the management of data has become better and easier."
"We are using the net for our environment. We're using the ADF Azure data factory for our analysis services, and it is pretty good."
"SQL Server is a stable product."
"We have found the solution valuable because we are able to easily create a query, shrink, backup, and make new tables."
"SQL Server is quite stable. And now we are using the Lattice 2017 version."
"This solution has proven stability and operational power."
"It is easy to manage for the administrator. It is also easy to use for applications that are Windows-based. It is a very stable product, and it has got backup and recovery tools."
"Similar to Microsoft SQL, it is easy to scale."
"SQL Server is a highly stable solution."
"The solution should continue to keep updating and improving the Java language."
"The solution could be more user-friendly."
"It'll be better if Oracle Java supports open source technologies, like Node.js."
"In terms of improvement, I'd like an automation tool that is lower priced. The core prices are very high."
"Needs improvement in consistency issues with respect to timeframes."
"The biggest lesson that I have learned from using Oracle products is vendor lock-in."
"It's difficult to make changes. It's a very complicated product in general — that's the issue."
"I would like to see the performance improved. Migrating should be easier and the scalability needs improvement."
"The performance is not always the best."
"SQL Server could improve by being more user-friendly, it is still geared towards specialists. Additionally, the monitoring system is difficult to use, not everyone can use it well. The configuration should be able to be done through the GUI."
"You do need to have technical knowledge in order to install the solution. It's not something a layperson can do."
"It would be nice if there was a feature to search for a specific value across multiple tables. This would save a lot of time for its users."
"The price could be better. It costs a lot, and competing databases like Postgres are free."
"One thing I don't like about SQL Server is the way they've set up security with users and groups. It just doesn't seem that intuitive to me. Adding some more explanatory information might help some."
