Oracle Database Reviews

Positive impact on reducing CapEx by needing one less DBA to manage IT.

Positive impact on the business's compliance and security standards with better auditing due to use of Oracle Database.

Reduced need for upfront database license and hence larger ROI through ability to expand database instances in the Cloud when needed.

It powers most of our critical consumer applications.

However, we are gradually retiring it for some large applications and starting to use some NoSQL options.

Recoverability, less RTO/RPO -- Positive

Performance -- Positive

Data Analysis -- Positive

As a software center, we are able to work with a proven platform that is recognized by our customers as a solid and secure Database, leveraging their previous knowledge and experience with Oracle.

Using Oracle DB since our company started makes it an immeasurable asset.

The main item to be pointed out for ROI is the lack of downtime that we personally have experienced. Our systems nowadays are more stable, improving all areas of operation.

Initially, we purchased oracle for our website because it had a much lower licensing cost than Sybase (our dominant DB) for such tasks.

Over time, the level of effort required to keep it up, keep replication working, training and the like turned into a far greater expense than simply paying Sybase the extra licensing.

For us, the Oracle database was a financial disaster.

Overall, the pros outweigh the cons.

Some time to get ROI we engage many applications tied to one application in the form of shared architecture. It has its pluses and minuses in terms of support.

It will get better ROI if we have some support vendors, but at this time we have to deal with multiple vendors.

The main item to be pointed out for ROI is the lack of downtime that we personally have experienced.

The automation has had a large ROI.

Eliminating duplication of work has a very positive effect.

Having access to other's work has doubled our efficiency.

It has helped our organization quickly and effectively provide benefits and services to current and retiring military personnel.

It has had mainly a positive impact by speeding up certain systems.

It costs less than previous Oracle versions.

It speeds up processing times by up to three times

By helping to set Exadata, a 12c environment customer had a competitive advantage by getting analytic data in almost real-time.

It is very expensive to run. This takes away from the businesses bottom line and makes the decision-makers look at other options even though those options are not as well suited for their business needs

We have been using it for the last 20 years. It has much less downtime and really helps us run the business.

Our business achievements & gains are far more than what we have invested in Oracle Database.

Overall growth of the business has not negatively impacted the business objective, with Oracle Database helping us grow.

Oracle Database is sometimes complex and DBA intensive (you DO need one in your company), but the benefits outweigh the costs.

Virtualized databases - Multi-Tenant is a flagship feature of 12c that pays all the effort.

Has provided excellent opportunities for managed services

Have had numerous upgrade opportunities

Can be difficult to sell for commodity servers because of license model

Was able to store data securely

Large number of data was able to be set up in a systematic manner and was able to store and retrieve them easily

No negative impacts, all positive.

We have a positive impact on the college.

We don't have to worry much about security because of security encryption.

It can handle large amounts of data and backups are easy to recover.

We can keep historical data for a long time and be sure that the data is secure.

I'm not sure on ROI, as I am not in position to make those decisions.

Positive rate of transaction

Scalable

Fail over safe
