Overall Satisfaction with Oracle Database

Oracle Database offers a slew of powerful tools to help create and manage almost any type of database. In our organization the product was used extensively to manage client data, service contracts, procurement operations, and cataloging pertinent research files. The product also offered upgrades based on our business needs and technical support was available around the clock.
  • Using SQL can be much more optimized in Oracle Database with a number of highly effective tools included
  • Technical support can be easily obtained at a sometimes high cost.
  • Incredible flexibility with the ability to upgrade the application with new modules.
  • Oracle database can be challenge to utilize with beginners. Its interface and amount of features can be daunting for those with limited experience using a database. It is not a simple database to plug in an go.
  • The products costs can be prohibit for smaller organizations and companies. It can take a number of hours to setup a database and training may also be required.
  • The product is simply feature rich beyond the needs of smaller companies making it less effective unless there is a need for some of its features.
  • Oracle Database is optimized to achieve better performance over its competitors.
  • The ability to create advanced databases in a cloud platform is its true key value.
  • On a negative side, the product can be incredibly expensive depending on how its implemented or expanded.
Oracle Database really outshines other database products with its improved performance, powerful module features, and its flexibility. While not perfect, it offers a very good set of SQL tools to setup specialized databases with robust features not found elsewhere. The product is expensive and can be expensive to implement. On the other hand, it offers a long term solution for database needs down the line. An organization may find it hard to "outgrow" Oracle Database if they afford its costs.
Oracle Database does really well with complicated database solutions with its optimized performance using CPU resources. For those requiring a simple or basic database system, this product may be an overkill. It is also fairly expensive to procure, run, and expand. Many modules need to be purchased to achieve complete functionality. However it can be very flexible with allowing database designers to create specialized databases for specific data requirements or reporting tools.
