Overall Satisfaction with Oracle Database

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.
  • Highly performant/reliable and good technical support
  • ACID -- Supports ACID transactions
  • Non-structured Data -- XML, hard to use
  • High Availability -- Real application clusters are available but it is difficult to set up and maintain
  • Recoverability, less RTO/RPO -- Positive
  • Performance -- Positive
  • Data Analysis -- Positive
Performance is much better than other RDBMS. Oracle supports better transaction management. It has wide range of features and we don't need to use different types of databases to finish an application requirement.

Do you think Oracle Database delivers good value for the price?

No

Are you happy with Oracle Database's feature set?

Yes

Did Oracle Database live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Oracle Database go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Oracle Database again?

Yes

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.
