I rate the solution an eight out of ten. 

Oracle Database as a Service is a well-integrated tool with other products.

If you want an operational database and support for a mission critical system, then Oracle Database as a Service is your best product. I won't recommend small or mid-sized companies to go with Oracle Database as a Service. For a smaller database, I suggest SQL Server.

I rate the overall tool a ten out of ten.

I would rate it a seven out of ten. While it's a good product to use, there is room for improvement in terms of flexibility and additional features.

The solution is the most secure database in the world. I rate the solution a nine out of ten. 

Be aware that migration actually takes some time. Also, keep in mind what your data size is. If you are going to have a huge database size, just migrate to Database as a Service.

I would rate this as nine out of ten.

It is an excellent product and service to launch your career with. If you become proficient in it, it can set you up for a twenty-year-long career. I would rate it eight out of ten.

I would rate Oracle a nine out of ten. I have used different versions in different companies. For example, at the moment, in this company, we have an Oracle record 11g. In my former company, we used 12c and 19c. It's not good to lag too much time because then you will fight with the problems to update the newer versions. We are planning to upgrade it from 11g to 2019.

Oracle Database as a Service is a user-friendly option that you can be considered when evaluating solutions. You can easily view available tables and their corresponding data by executing basic queries. The left tab displays all tables and procedures, and you can expand it to view table names directly. By using a simple query, such as "select star from [table name]", you can obtain all information. You can then refine your queries by selecting specific correlated queries that involve loops, joins, and other operations. Overall, using Oracle is a straightforward process that you should consider exploring.

This provides an enterprise-class cloud solution that can scale to terabyte-sized databases in the cloud without having to compromise.

I would rate the solution a ten on ten. Anyone looking to implement the solution should be mindful of the sizing since it affects the licensing and AMC support. I would suggest customers to try the subscription-based pricing model rather than the optimized licensing one.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Oracle Database as a Service a nine out of ten.

Overall, I find Oracle Database as a Service to be reliable and efficient for our operational needs. I'd give Oracle Database as a Service an 8 out of 10.

Overall, I rate Oracle Database as a Service a nine out of ten.

It is a good solution and has a large community. I recommend it to others and rate it as a nine.

We're customers and end-users. 

We have been using Oracle ERP for some time and are moving from on-premises to the cloud. 

I'd advise users to pay attention to licensing as it can get very, very expensive. Definitely look into other databases. 

I would rate the solution seven out of ten as it is the market leader and is very stable. 

I will rate this solution a nine out of ten. We have been using this solution for the past ten years. We will continue the partnership. I do not expect to see any further integration of the tool with our software. I will recommend this tool to those with a large database.

My experience is with Oracle Database Administrator, Oracle Report Builder, Oracle E-Business Suite, Oracle Application Server, Oracle Client/Server, and Oracle Database as a Service.

I used version 12 of Oracle Database as a Service.

In the company, over five hundred people worked on Oracle Database as a Service in the last four or five years.

There's no plan to increase the usage of Oracle Database as a Service because the company is moving to another provider.

Five people, including a manager or supervisor, took care of the deployment and maintenance of Oracle Database as a Service.

I recommend Oracle Database as a Service to midsized and large-scale companies, mainly if you use the Oracle Email Delivery Service, which also requires going with Oracle Analytics Cloud. In today's modern world, if you're not using Oracle E-Business Suite and you store your data in the data warehouse and collect data from different interactive devices, such as cameras, the best solution is Oracle Database as a Service, partnered with Oracle Business Intelligence.

My rating for Oracle Database as a Service is ten out of ten, as no other service is comparable.

I am using the latest version of the solution. I will recommend the solution to others. We have deployed the solution in Louisiana, Syria, and all over Africa. Overall, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.

I would recommend this solution to other users.

I would rate Oracle Database as a Service a nine out of ten.

Oracle is a very powerful product. It's not a toy. Therefore, if a company wants to use it, it must have qualified people on board to manage it. It also requires some amount of memory or CPU. You need to have the space for it and a backup, et cetera. However, it's very useful, and it's a very professional database.

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.  For our customers, it's the best solution we can provide. 

We have two to three people who maintain the solution.

We are looking to switch to another solution, such as MongoDB or Postgres SQL.

I rate Oracle Database as a Service an eight out of ten.

I give the solution a nine out of ten.

We have around seven people using the solution in our organization.

The solution is expensive but I do recommend it to others.

If you are a developer or you have developers to develop items in Oracle, then you should go with Oracle. If not, then definitely go for something else. Oracle is very vast and the performance is good, however, you need some knowledge. 

Potential new users should take some time to compare other databases together. 

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.

I'm just a customer. 

I use the on-premises and the as-a-service versions. 

I'd advise those considering the solution to first be careful to design it before beginning. 

I'd rate the product ten out of ten overall. 

I recommend this solution and rate it nine out of 10. 

We use the product for data warehousing or business analytics for software applications, including Enterprise Transactional Systems (ETT).

It has significantly enhanced our application development process by introducing substantial time savings and streamlining routine tasks. When considering an upgrade, the process is simplified, eliminating the need for meticulous checks of backups. Instead, developers can efficiently review the latest updates, choose a suitable upgrade window for their business, and with a few clicks during a designated maintenance window, initiate the process.

For data security, the most beneficial features are validation and verification processes conducted by the service provider before the release of any patches on the official page. The stringent process instills confidence in the reliability of the service, especially in preventing potential security breaches or risks. Oracle service's technical team keeps the clients informed regarding any identified threats and actions to protect the data. It reduces the manual workload for database administrators, allowing them to focus on efficiently implementing patches during designated management windows.

The scalability has made the operations easier than traditional methods. When expanding our product or adjusting resources, we no longer need to perform intricate operations at the operating system or hardware level. Instead, it automatically spins or reallocates storage within the service. The process takes about an hour and a half, ensuring optimized storage to meet the growing needs of our expanding datasets.

The feature of automatic incremental backup has been beneficial to business continuity planning. It ensures that all backup activities are seamlessly managed without requiring any major involvement from the database administrators. It eliminates the need for manual scripting or the setup of intricate backup scenarios. As a result, the maintenance time gets reduced as well. The integration with other systems has medium complexity.

I rate the product an eight out of ten.

I'd recommend potential new users work on their licensing and requirements before procuring the Oracle licenses. They need to manage their ATS cost also in future plans if they're planning for two years or more. They should take care of this ATS part also and decide what their requirements are so they can get a good discount on that.

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

20 people are required for the solution’s maintenance. I can recommend Oracle Database to many companies, especially those using Oracle Cloud services. The price is not very expensive, and Oracle Cloud offers a variety of features and benefits. Overall, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Oracle Database as a Service a ten out of ten.

I rate Oracle Database as a Service seven out of 10.

My company has more than five thousand clients on Oracle Database as a Service, but it could now be less than that because of the price issue.

Thirty people maintain, monitor, and do ad hoc testing and recovery backup for Oracle Database as a Service.

If a client currently uses Oracle Database as a Service, I suggest keeping it. However, scaling it is challenging, and its pricing is costly.

In the past, Oracle Database as a Service was a nine out of ten. Nowadays, it's a five out of ten.

My company is an Oracle customer.

I rate the solution a ten out of ten.

When it comes to other people looking into this solution, I would advise double-checking the pricing as it's quite high for Oracle. Other than that, go for it.

Overall, I would rate this solution a 10, on a scale from one to 10, with one being the worst and 10 being the best.

I use this solution because it is a powerful database and is faster than others. It has so many features. When I compare it with other database, I prefer the Oracle Database.

I would rate this solution an eight of ten. 

I rate Oracle Database as a Service an eight out of ten.

I would rate the solution a seven out of ten. 

I would recommend Oracle Database as a Service to those who are considering it and rate it at seven on a scale from one to ten.

I recommend this solution to others.

I rate Oracle Database as a Service an eight out of ten.

My advice to others is that they need to know how to administer the solution.

I rate Oracle Database as a Service a nine out of ten.

I rate Oracle Database as a Service nine out of 10. It's easy to implement and use. Disaster recovery is easy. Oracle has availability domains in different regions, so you will never lose your data. Oracle has built expertise in database solutions for the last 35 years, and now they are offering this in a cloud service

We use the on-premises solution because the customer has to have their own environment. In our case, for our clients, that's one of the big advantages.

A potential issue might be getting used to the Oracle interface. Personally, I didn't use the interface provided by Oracle. In that way, the interface was not a problem for me because I used to use a third-party application like Toad that maybe more people are already familiar with and I think is easy for me to use already.

We are using the same server software application. I don't know if Oracle provided database software and SQL developer or not. But for myself, I needed an application to develop the features and functions on the Oracle Database.

While I prefer and recommend Oracle, many other factors are involved in making decisions. If all the factors are the same and there are no limitations for the cost or other issues for adopting Oracle compared with other products, I think Oracle would always be a better choice.  

A lesson I learned is that you have to always verify the virtual data when you are acting as a software as a service house for the customer. Oracle is part of our winning team. It may not be the only product that we use to achieve the result.

On a scale from one to ten, where one is the worst and ten is the best, I would rate this product as a seven to eight depending a little on how you use it. For us, it is an eight because it is very good at what it does and we use other tools to make it do what we want it to do. We don't fight with the one product to try and make it do everything.

I would definitely recommend Oracle Database as a Service to users looking for performance or ease of tool handling and database handling.

Overall, I rate Oracle Database as a Service a nine out of ten.

Read my 12cR2 book on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Oracle-...

How would Oracle rate on a scale of 1 to 10 with cloud solution? I think it depends absolutely on which Oracle cloud solution it is. Some are 10 and some are lower. It depends which architecture you evaluate.

Many people are looking at it now. The main key is get educated. Understand what's out there. I did three sessions at Oracle OpenWorld and Java World in 2017, all of them have cloud. I will do many at Collaborate earlier this year (April 2018) and all of them will have cloud. Why? Because I know it's important and where many things are going to some degree. Whether people are using the 12c database, 18c database, that's one of my talks, I know it's important to be ready for the cloud (the 11g database is also available on the cloud). How you would migrate each database and what multi-tenant does to assist you in that process is an important feature of Oracle. I also have regular sessions on the Internet of Things (IOT) which talks about all these devices that are going to be integrated with your database and big data and obviously cloud plays perfectly to that one.

We do not need a lot of staff for the maintenance of the solution because we have an expert engineer.

I rate Oracle Database as a Service a seven out of ten.

We use the on-premises deployment model. We're currently experimenting with Oracle at the moment.

Currently, customers are looking for and experimenting with various databases. The clients that I've talked to have asked about MySQL or Amazon Aurora Database as well Microsoft Secret Server.

In terms of Oracle, what I've heard from some clients was that the cloud database was a disappointment for them compared to the on-premise database. Some of them were regretful about doing that sort of migration. They told me they were over-promised, and the cloud database didn't deliver. The on-premise databases are quite solid, however. They are very good.

I'd rate the solution seven out of ten. 

I'm personally not happy with Oracle, but from a technical standpoint, they have a very solid product.

So the Database Cloud on Oracle right now, I think it's there, but there is some room to grow. So I wouldn't give them 10 yet. I would hold on to that. Probably eight would be a better option. But I want to see the growth in terms of, not only on the vertical side, I want to see the horizontal growth, in terms of how they can leverage, as I said earlier, integrating with other systems. So, if they can grow both horizontally and vertically, then probably I can give them a 10. But at this time, they are not there yet.

So I would say, anybody who wants to get into the cloud, evaluate your options. Check out your dev and test environments first. Check out your backup as a service, because it's very easy. You just have to set your targets and push your database backups. So try with those two first, and see the difference, and compare that with your other vendors. And see what kind of a response latency you're getting from the cloud. And make the call. I mean, that's what I did, and it was clear.

We're just a customer and end-user and we help clients that are also using Oracle.

We're using an older version of the solution.

As an IT company, we provide services to different companies. Right now we are working on a project which is running on an older version, 11G. It's a government institute. However, we support a huge number of users.

I always recommend Oracle for my clients, to those who are interested in engaging technologies. I always encourage others to also take certification courses. Oracle has had free courses for the cloud, and I really advise those interested in the solution to get in on one.

In general, I would rate the solution at a nine out of ten.

Depending on the company, I would recommend Oracle Database. Overall, I would rate the solution a nine out of ten.

I would rate this solution as an eight out of ten because the stability and performance are good and the solution does not need to be maintained a lot. 

I don't use the management features because I don't work with the GUI. I prefer to use the command line.

Oracle is a very good solution that I would recommend. It is strong software with good support and documentation available.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

Before starting to look for the high-end solution (Enterprise Edition) you should consider using Standard Edition Two. There is a great chance that it will be sufficient, and gaps can be filled with third-party products like Dbvisit Standby for Distaster Recovery.

Any DEV/UAT/TEST environments are really candidates to go for cloud and ensure you fully utilize the flexibility of cloud technologies.

I use some other databases, like Microsoft and MySQL, but they don't have the same performance as Oracle.

I would rate this solution eight out of ten.

I rate Oracle Database as a Service a nine out of ten.

Rating: I'm a Finn, I never give ten for anything. I would say seven or eight which is very good for me. There's a lot to improve yet but I think it's getting pretty good already. Let's say eight, I'm in a good mood today.

I would start with a test database. I would go with them to cloud first to get the experience because most of the people are afraid of the cloud. They don't know what to expect and how they juggle things and so on because they're used to see the computer, touch them and know exactly what is where and what kind of block you have in your computer and so on. So it's very scary to let somebody else take care of that things. The first step would probably be give your test databases to the cloud and see how it works and realize that actually now you have time for the real job instead of doing constant upgrades and so on. I would start with the test database to get experience and the touching feeling of how it is.

I rate it a 10 out of 10, due to the scalability, flexibility, and cloud oriented approach.

Plan well and it should be fine.

I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.

I would recommend the solution. It is quite complete and very good.

Most important criteria when selecting a vendor:

• Recommendations
• Performance
• Stability.
