The autonomous database contributes a great advance to the operation since the efficiency in terms of adaptation in different scenarios and different circumstances is much higher than the reaction capacity that the DBAs in charge had before its implementation. Additionally, the perceived cost reduction in terms of the need for personnel in charge of monitoring the operation is notorious.

We have started using the Oracle Autonomous database as a data store for Log analytics. It does ease the need for maintenance and is self-managing when it comes to performance advisory reports. But I will say it's still under evaluation in comparison to Amazon RDS.

Oracle Autonomous Database is the primary database at my current project, and it serves as a backend for a UI that caters to more than 25000 users per day. It caters their day to day need to transact and fetch reports. Oracle Autonomous Database does a great work of handling all the requests and catering to all the users without any failure.

I work with an Oracle partner in my country (El Salvador ). I use Oracle Autonomous Database in Demonstrations or POC for training, certification, and support for our customers where Autonomous is deployed personally. I always have a free account. It is wonderful to have access to Autonomous unlimited during this time.

We've deployed it on our applications workloads to scale our data management including the ultra mission databases that have sensitive data. It's working swiftly in data protection using AI that's not prone to errors like humans. We've used it to manage our customers' data- invoices, recordings, and reports securely and while maintaining a high-performance status.

When it comes to database security and automation, Oracle Autonomous Database offers the best features. What makes the software special is the provision of self-data repair features that minimize the chances of data loss. In addition, the software makes it easy to analyze data trends, generate reports, and auto-check data errors.

In my previous company before this one, We used it for capturing and registering motor vehicle speed infringements. One of the problems which [were] addressed was how easy it was for me to get reports for the business to make decisions. However, though not mentioned in the question, I find it so difficult to find tools [that] be used to monitor and administer this database and others am currently using.

Currently, I am using Oracle Autonomous Database to migrate [the] UAT environment for an insurance company. So far the migration is progressing well. I faced [a] few network issues during the start of the project. Also, [I'm] expecting [there will be] few issues with [the] backups. After migration, my clients [sometimes] want [the] old backups [which can be a major issue for me].

It is used across organizations in different projects. It has the best performance as compared to other databases and best in security as well. Synchronization between servers Master & Slave is acceptable. We have functions and procedures which have thousands of lines of codes and all these are stored under one package, which makes it easy to maintain.

We used it for on-premises migration to the cloud. The biggest [benefits] are the ease of administration, automated patching, and scalability. Performance on demand and multiple peak concurrency and usage [is] pretty much out-of-the-box. The existing DBAs can focus on tasks that give more value to the customer instead of routine support tasks.

Central DB is through Oracle [Autonomous Database] and it is pretty reliable and stable; we are happy with it and we choose it instead of the cloud for security reasons. If we could make it a bit faster will be great, but [outside] of that, it's just fine. Clients are happy and it is used in our group in over 10 countries.

This amazing tool is being used in multiple departments of our organization and it helps us to manage our database. [Oracle Autonomous Database] automatically updates the data in our cloud database and provides good security which enables us to store huge amounts of data. We prefer it for load balancing and high availability.
