    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.

    It is very scalable and it gives us backup for everything. Because of this feature, we (as a developer) can do any R&D if required. It is very stable so we can get any type of help. It has a recovery feature also which we used recently for my project. It is very easy to recover.

    Pros

    • 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.

    Cons
    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.

    • It has some issues [when] performing local unit testing in personal edition.
    • It is costly if we will go for cloud.
    • Need license for some features.

    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.

    It has the most stable database. It smoothly supports [a] huge [amount of] data. Security-wise it is best among them. It is a very large community and has well-defined documentation, which can support [during the] implementation of the Oracle database. We can easily scale up servers whenever [we] change our requirements. Oracle12c is best for large-scale projects like banking and retails.
