Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Maintaining databases is a valuable feature for us.""You can scale the solution as needed.""The best thing about Oracle Multitenant is its ability to consolidate multiple databases into one engine.""The feature that I like on Multitenant is the ease - it is very easy for my team to run the database.""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 most valuable features are the speed and ease of use.""Multitenant has a container database with many pluggable databases.""It's easy to use and works great."

"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.""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.""Valuable features for us include the compression, speed, fast response time, and easy object maintenance.""Unbeatable speed and compression with a colummn-structured relational database."

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

More Oracle Multitenant Cons →

"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.""I think the universe should be part of the Sybase IQ tool set.""The organization who owns the product does not support it well and appears not to be doing significant development for the future.""The solution works best when combined with other SAP solutions. If the environment has other systems other options might be better.""Concurrency and functional error messaging.""The room for improvement would be the marketing of the product, because this product is much better than advertised."

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."

  • "Evaluate all options; check to see if you need expensive add-ons."
  • "Negotiate based on the features required."
  • "Negotiation is very important."
  • "The only costs after standard licensing fees are for add-ons and upgrades."
