Overall Satisfaction with Oracle Database

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use the database for many OLAP and OLTP applications. The database works really great. The error messages could be more informative, however.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Very robust.
Works great if initial set-up is done correctly.

Cons

Error messages that are displayed can be improved.
Need to improve performance tuning.

Return on Investment

It's all been great so far.

Alternatives Considered

MySQL. But I feel Oracle DB does better when we have larger databases in place and if we want to have many features like in-memory and partitions planned to implement.

Other Software Used

Endeca

Likelihood to Recommend

It is very good for applications where you have OLAP and OLTP's.
