User Testimonials
	IBM Informix on Cloud	Oracle Autonomous Database
Likelihood to Recommend	IBM No answers on this topic	Oracle Pro - Stability. Does everything anyone could need. If it's not there it will be on the next update. There is plenty of support for it. It's been around for a long time and it's reliable. The support is well documented and has a great reputation. Cons - Errors have been found in the documentation provided by Oracle with guidelines, etc. Oracles salespeople have a reputation of being obnoxious and condescending. Incentivized Bryan Heck Design Engineer Read full review
Pros	IBM No answers on this topic	Oracle Robust - this product doesn't have a lot of downtime. It's less prone to errors than some other tools I've worked with. Scalable - we can keep adding more things to it. We haven't hit any roadblocks when we've tried to do more with our database. Incentivized MG Manish Garg Manager - Merchandising Application Development Read full review
Cons	IBM No answers on this topic	Oracle There is no access to the physical host of the DB. This is expected from a managed DB. Everything must be done through the console or via API calls. This is a new learning curve for the DBAs. Due to the lack of physical host access, certain features are not supported, such as Transportable tablespaces and Oracle LogMiner. Certain special data types, (such as XMLType) are not allowed; be sure the app vendor certifies their product on this platform. Incentivized Johnny Wu Project Leader, Data Infrastructure Services Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	IBM No answers on this topic	Oracle Because it does exactly what we need: it enables us to manage our development and testing database environments in a quick and simple way without requiring support from a database administrators team. Incentivized Lisandro Fernigrini Independent Software Consultant Read full review
Usability	IBM No answers on this topic	Oracle The product is continuously evolving and new features are added frequently. Management options through the OCI (Oracle Cloud Infrastructure) console and through the command line and API are being enhanced frequently.

Alternatives Considered	IBM No answers on this topic	Oracle I found Oracle Autonomous Database very secure to store data and private information.I always feel secure with Oracle Autonomous Databases disaster recovery features.It is very effective to build applications for mobile and desktop devices lesser code using a low code development framework namely Oracle Application Express (ApEx). Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Return on Investment	IBM No answers on this topic	Oracle Oracle Autonomous Database has a wide range of warehouses, which is competent and of high performance. The transactional processing power that Oracle Autonomous Database outlines are completely important and digital. The efficiency of Oracle Autonomous Database data encryption fosters security measures, a form that demands more threat detectors.
