The solution's initial setup is not easy.

I rate the solution's initial setup a 6 out of 10.

The platform is easy to install for me as I am an expert in Oracle. I have worked as an application developer and programmer for the past 24 years. Thus, the setup is not a major issue for me.

The initial setup is straightforward. The deployment doesn't take more than four hours. In some cases, it can even be done in two or three hours, depending on network speed.

Oracle Database Appliance is easy to implement. It takes two to five hours or up to a day to complete. It needs a basic understanding of how all the product works and the process of allocating the IPs. A team of three people executes the deployment.

The tool's setup is little complex. 

The initial setup is straightforward. The deployment takes one business day.

The initial setup was very difficult for us. It took us 20 to 25 days. 

The initial setup is easy.
I rate the solution’s setup an eight out of ten.

The initial deployment of 2x ODA V1s was accomplished in one day, including unpacking and rack-mounting.

Straightforward. The whole environment is built in one hour by following the Oracle documentation and using the related utilities.

The initial setup is not straightforward. It's quite complex. Once you get the hang of it and get it going, it's easier for others on our application team. It's also easier to manage int he long run. The main problem is that it's quite different from what we used to do, so there's a bit of a learning curve during the setup.

The initial setup is okay. We just have to plug in the machine and set up the applications.

The initial setup was quite straightforward.

The initial setup of Database Appliance is straightforward. But It depends upon the applications that you're using.

If you want to use it on top of the database, it's going to be straightforward. But if you want to do it at some other part of the process the third party client has to do an APA call. It depends upon the way they implement it. If it's going to be a third party vendor using it he'll have to make APA calls, then it's going to be a bit complex.

I can set it up in a matter of a very short time. The worst case scenario is an hour, and that happens only if I don't have the information from the customer, That's when it would take an hour. But if I have all the information in front of me, the box can be set up and ready to use.

The implementation process was easy in terms of deployment, however, it's a physical installation which just adds to the overall cost of the solution. 

It's not just the solution that's expensive, it's the resources you need to think about that are expensive. In COVID times, these costs were especially rough. It's hard to justify a huge cost, especially in an enterprise. 

The Oracle Database Appliance has an easy installation. It took approximately four to five hours. If we do not do a re-image it can be done in one to two hours.

The initial setup was very easy.

The initial setup is easy to do because we have the ability to do it in house. We are able to deploy this product by ourselves, without an integrator. That suggests it is easy enough to do.  

We have a team of six people that we need for deployment and for maintenance.  

The initial setup is very straightforward. As said above, you can deploy the machine in less that one day. But, as it’s an appliance, if you are not very familiar with this kind of deployment, read the docs and ask support first.

ODA was initially designed for setup to be easy. Once brought in-house, you plug it in, set up your network connection, run one or two commands, and then set up is complete. Even if it's in a virtualized environment, it's still easy to set up. The quick setup is the beauty and the added value that ODA brings, as opposed to other conversion or engineering systems, which take a little bit more time.

Upgrades are the same; due to its automation, many of the commands, designed by the Oracle development team, allow for easy upgrades for the entire end-to-end stack.

It's not difficult if you've done installations before. There is documentation.

Everything is labeled, but it cannot be done by just anyone; you must have knowledge of the infrastructure.

Even though the documentation is available, everything is labeled and you simply plugin according to the diagram. It isn't a problem. It isn't difficult.

The deployment can be done by one person, either a technician or an engineer.

Initial setup was easy.

The initial setup was straightforward and quick - I was able to configure everything within an hour.

Setup was easy. Everything is step by step from the first to the last stage.

The initial setup was fairly quick. It was easy to deploy.

The setup was straightforward but we had issues that needed Oracle support to fix for us.

The setup was very easy. It is great to have a fully configured and tested HA environment for Oracle Database in two days. All the built-in automation scripts do it for you.

You can install all of your visual information on the Oracle database appliance. All of your software is on this virtual machine. Another option is to install your database on an older Oracle database appliance, which is recommended and has the best performance.

The initial setup was straightforward.

The setup was straightforward, as install and reinstall is configurable with predefined templates.
