Oracle Database Reviews and Ratings

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I have used this Database for storing and retrieving the data for a web application. As it is a relational database management system and data is stored in the form of tables. We usually retrieve the data using the SQL queries. The oracle database helps me to easily retrieve the complex data. By implementing permission and altering user activities, we can simply prohibit unauthorized access and provide separate access to users.

Likelihood to Recommend

According to me, Oracle database can be used by multiple applications. So in my case I have used for two applications- EMR and cognitive search, which makes my life easier.

I can say it is less appropriate in some cases when it required high maintenance. Also its licensing cost is too expensive.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are a service support company and I am a certified Database Admin. We have different customers using Oracle databases and we maintain those databases. We do maintenance, monitoring, upgrade, and even migration of databases.

Likelihood to Recommend

It is suited for Linux as Linux machines are generally not rebooted for years. We have seen other databases with memory leak issues or Windows system resource utilization becomes high and we need to regularly reboot machines whereas in Linux, Linux doesn't have those issues. With the Oracle Database combination, we have seen some critical production servers that do not need to get rebooted for years and still work well without any issues, which is amazing.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Oracle Database is being used in the compnay as SOR database for many business products. I am an active user or it in Banking and Mortgage Businesses.

Likelihood to Recommend

Oracle Database is best suited for multi-tenant architecture where more than one database is being used simultaneously...its very well supported in such scenarios.

Not recommended for cases where Un-Structured data is the main source of the business.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Oracle [Database] is used by [a] couple of departments to maintain Animation assets and for couple of applications in the Animation movie making workflow.

Likelihood to Recommend

I believe Oracle Database is still the best RDBMS database which is the database to consider for OLTP applications and for Adhoc requests. They are good in Datawarehousing in certain aspects but not the best. Oracle is also a great database for scaling up with their Clusterware solution which also makes the database highly available with services moving to the live instance without much trouble.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Oracle Database software has been used by our organization form past few years, mainly it is used by our Information Technology department for backup of data and recovery.

The main business problems it addresses are database conversation, backups and the best part is that it supports multiple programming languages as well. We can save huge amount of data without any instability.

Likelihood to Recommend

Oracle Database is one of the best database storage and management software according to me as it has a huge storage capacity. Other than that the reason behind its good performance is that it supports PL/SQL which helps user to write complex quarries. Last but not least it allows us to backup data and we can easily recover the data anytime.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Oracle Machine learning (formerly OAA) addresses a wide range of problems related to big data and data analytics. It helps the analytics team to analyze huge chunks of raw data obtained for research purposes. This data can come from open source, or medical equipment companies, and more.

Likelihood to Recommend

One of the best features of Oracle Machine Learning is the ability to be able to use it in python environment. The OML4py is amazing when it comes to deployments (uses REST API) and the manipulation of data and tables in the environment works as a charm. I have personally used the feature selection whilst performing a principle component analysis for one of the research papers and OML4py was spot on.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Oracle Database is our organization's primary database server. Our main line of business application uses it exclusively to store data making it mandatory across the organization. It provides a stable and scalable relational database platform but a high custom with extremely inflexible and frustrating licensing terms.

Likelihood to Recommend

Oracle provides a scalable and stable enterprise relational database platform. Oracle understands stability, assuming you provide capable and stable hardware Oracle will stay running. But it's too complex to manage and Oracle's licensing terms make virtualization either complex or expensive. Unless your application requires it, find another database platform.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

The Oracle Database or rather a cluster of Oracle Databases is used for both an OLTP and data warehousing data storage and processing purposes across various departments. Oracle Database is a very mature and versatile platform that allows running almost any business entirely using only the database. At Parsons Smart Vehicles Solutions, we rely on Oracle for conducting the critical line of business. The database's unique resilience capabilities, programmability, and mature tooling allow for rapid software development while maintaining high quality. Oracle is widely supported by vendors' databases, which makes integration easier.

Likelihood to Recommend

I would say that if the business generates considerable revenue and must rely on a world-class feature-rich database engine, not in the Cloud, to do more than simple OLTP then Oracle Database is a go-to offering. The other factor is that Oracle talent is likely available in abundance. Having one backed by Oracle is a long-term advantageous strategy.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

The Oracle Database Cloud is being used across our organization. It is being used for our cloud-based enterprise applications for storage and management of huge data on cloud. The benefits of using it includes but are not limited to the following:

<ul><li>No hardware required.</li><li>No installation required.</li><li>Minimizes the cost of operation.</li><li>Minimizes the cost of maintenance.</li><li>Fasten data processing speed.</li><li>Enhanced integration and connectivity with our application.</li><li>Enhanced application performance.</li><li>Increased reliability in terms of data security.</li><li>Scalable to meet the increase in requirements.</li><li>IT staff have more time available to spend on other useful things.</li><li>The speed of queries and searching is improved.</li></ul>

Likelihood to Recommend

The Oracle Database Cloud Service is best suited in many scenarios including but not limited to the following:

<ul><li>To reduce the cost of hardware purchase, setup, and maintenance.</li><li>To reduce the cost of operation and maintenance of a database.</li><li>To enhance the speed of data processing and transfers.</li><li>To improve the integrity, connectivity, and performance of an application.</li><li>To increase reliability in terms of data security and scalability.</li><li>To increase the speed of querying and searching.</li></ul>

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Oracle Database for storing relational data for our OLTP/warehouse DBs. We also use it as a high availability solution (Data Guard). It is being used enterprise-wide. It helps to store, retrieve, and run analytics on data. The Dataguard also helps offload the queries from primary and helps with performance.

Likelihood to Recommend

It is highly performant and guarantees data consistency based on ACID compliance. Oracle Active Data Guard allows us to open the standby database for read operations. With Oracle 19c , Oracle also allows to do DML redirection on standby DB which can help with some reports that need temporary tables.

Using XML/non-structured data is not easy and I have noticed performance issues when the XML becomes deeply nested.
