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

"We are able to integrate our Vertica data warehouse with Tableau to create numerous reports quickly and efficiently.""Allows us to take volumes and process them at a very high speed.""I appreciate the flexibility offered by Vertica's projections. It allows for modifying the primary projection without altering the tables, which helps to optimize queries without the need to modify the underlying data.""Speed and resiliency are probably the best parts of this product.""I have found the solution to be scalable.""Bulk loads, batch loads, and micro-batch loads have made it possible for our organization to process near real-time ingestions and faster analytics.""Eighty percent of the ETL operations have improved since implementing this solution.""Initiate on one node, and the RPM propagates automatically to all other nodes. ​"

Cons
"The solution lacks a GUI for commands.""Technical support could be faster.""The user interface for this solution can be made better.""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 can be complicated to scale up the solution, but it's scalable.""It would be beneficial to include this solution with Oracle Enterprise, but Oracle charges additional fees for it.""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."

More Oracle Multitenant Cons →

"Metadata for database files scale okay, but metadata related to tables/columns/sequences must be stored on all nodes.""Some of our small to medium-sized customers would like to see containerization and flexibility from the deployment standpoint.""Limitations in group by projections is where I would like to see an improvement.""I would personally like to see extended developer tooling suited to Vertica – think published PowerDesigner SQL dialect support.""If you do not utilize the tuning tools like projections, encoding, partitions, and statistics, then performance and scalability will suffer.""We are looking for a cheaper deployment for the solution. Although we did a lot of benchmarks, like Redshift. We tried Redshift, it didn't work. It didn't work out for us as well.""Vertica can improve automation and documentation. Additionally, the solution can be simplified.""It would be great if this were a managed service in AWS."

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."
  • More Oracle Multitenant Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Work with a vendor, if possible, and take advantage of more aggressive discounts at mid-fiscal year (April) and fiscal year-end (October).​"
  • "It's free up to three nodes and 1TB, and then get in contact with their sales guys."
  • "Start with license per 1TB. Starting from hundreds of TB there is unlimited licensing to be considered. Move historical data to HDFS/S3 which are significantly cheaper or even free."
  • "The first TB is free and you can use all the Vertica features. After 1TB you have to pay for licensing. The product is worth it, but be aware of this condition, and plan. The compression ratio is explained in the documentation."
  • "I think it's starting to get a little expensive. Open source products are starting to get more robust, so I think that's something that they need to start looking at in terms of licensing."
  • "Read the fine print carefully."
  • "It is fast to purchase through the AWS Marketplace."
  • "The pricing and licensing depend on the size of your environment and the zone where you want to implement."
