Overall Satisfaction with Oracle Database 12c

We are in Web Hosting services, so we have many customers that we support . We install, administer, and provide solutions for disaster recovery options, such as Oracle RAC, Data Guard and Standby dBs, etc . We also manage and provide ongoing backup solutions to the customer using RMAN and others.
  • Proven Technology. Market Leader.
  • Easy to manage, install, upgrade, and migrate
  • Many solutions for high availability
  • Cost factor is bit too expensive compare to other RDBMS solutions
  • Support needs to improve
  • After sales support is needed
  • It is hard to predict ROI because we have over 400 Customers that we support
Oracle is number 2 based on my experience. My first preferred choice would be DB2 or Informix. The architecture of Informic is pure 100 % dynamically scalable. I have done many labs on proving the concept of Dynamic Scalable Architecture using Informix/DB2 products. Also from a DBA admin perspective, DB2 has much simpler UNIX-like command lines, which makes it easier compared to Oracle SQLplus
Very good RDBMS for financial applications, OLTP and DSS. Many high availability options.
The 12c version has many improvements on capability and memory managed objects, etc. Offers common and shared storage of containers/auto manage of Table spaces. Global Allocation and System managed table spaces all are new features that help to administer day to day.
