Oracle Database as a Service's initial setup phase has become easier compared to its complex nature ten years ago. Oracle Database as a Service has become easy to operate even when it comes to the advanced installation part.

Considering that all the prerequisite requirements are met, Oracle Database as a Service's deployment phase can be completed in a day.

For the deployment phase, you need to get involved in some hardware provisioning, after which you need to see to it that all the prerequisites for the deployment process are met before choosing to install Oracle Database as a Service, and you can create your database.

The initial setup was straightforward. You don't actually have to deploy anything in Oracle Database as a Service. It's pretty easy. There is no special requirement to work with the team or anything.

Deployment time depends on the solution you choose because you have virtual machine builds and terminals. If it is a terminal, for example, it will take you between two or three minutes. While the virtual machine will need between 15 and 40 minutes.

Because we had taken training on the platform, it was very familiar for us. However, it would not be so easy for someone implementing this from scratch. We would recommend going with an experienced managed service provider.The platform provides surprising flexibility for something that is billed as platform as a service.

Technology Director at 24i

The initial setup was complex. I'd rate the ease of setup three out of ten. You need to understand the file system, and you need to understand Oracle very well before setup. It's not like Microsoft, where there is a setup Wizard to guide you. You need very specific knowledge. 

The setup might take a day or two in terms of deployment. However, you need to put in the tables and build the applications on top of that, and that part can take several months.

The initial setup is generally considered straightforward, although there may be some challenges, particularly when new team members are introduced. However, once the team becomes familiar with the solution, the setup process becomes easier and more streamlined, even when working remotely.

Deploying the solution is generally considered to be easy, with the only major challenge being the migration of data from another database to this one. 

The data migration process can be complex and time-consuming.

The initial setup is pretty straightforward. You just download the installation and go.

Since we work with a variety of clients, we use different clouds. 

I'm not sure how long ht redeployment took. I did not directly handle deployment tasks.

Setting up Oracle DaaS wasn't difficult. Most of the stuff was there. You only need to enter the name of the database, and that's it. However, you need a little more information to set up an on-prem database. One person can set up Oracle DaaS.

I am not the one who would be responsible for these installations alone. I would be doing the development. As it requires a team and customizations, I think it has to be considered somewhat complex to set up if you look at the whole picture. It is not as easy as starting an executable and waiting for it to finish running.

ST
CEO at QUERIX (UK) LIMITED

The level of difficulty in the initial setup varies. Sometimes it's very straightforward, but sometimes it is not. 60% of the time it's pretty straightforward.

Sometimes, for example, we might have previously installed the database in the same environment and there were some dependencies left which damaged the next installation because it was not a fresh install. If you want to uninstall the database, the cleaning of the database and everything associated with it gets a bit tricky. There is no automated process for that.

Deployment is quite fast. You can probably manage a deployment in an hour or less.

Back in the early 90s, set up was difficult. But now, it’s straightforward using the graphical interfaces. But there is indeed room for improvement. An 8GB download for software is far too big. Nowadays it should be possible to simply use RPM packages on Linux/Unix.
