Overall Satisfaction with Oracle Database

Our requirement was to choose a transactional RDBMS database system that can provide best-in-class High Availability and Disaster recovery, and Zero Downtime for maintenance. Oracle provides a robust, most advanced database backup and recovery (RMAN) feature. Enterprise security features such as data encryption, fine-grained auditing, database vault, etc., were another factor in choosing the Oracle database.

Pros

  • Active-Active Clustering (Oracle RAC).
  • High Availability & Disaster Recovery.
  • Zero-Downtime Maintenance(Rolling upgrade, EBR).
  • Robust Backup and Recovery feature.
  • Performance and Concurrency Architecture.

Cons

  • Oracle database is very complex to use, not beginners friendly.
  • PDB backup and restore still not very efficient in non-cloud environments.
  • Oracle database RAC features are not available with major public cloud providers (Azure, AWS) without using Exadata.
  • Zero Downtime Application upgrade/deployment, higher possible SLA.
  • Zero or no data loss due to database unavailability. This one was one of the key reasons to migrate to Oracle.
  • Expensive Oracle database licenses drives our service cost higher.
Oracle database is the market leader in the RDBMS engine domain. Enterprise-grade features for high availability, scalability, high performance, and security provided in the Oracle database made it the go-to database option for our solution. Oracle offers a converged database that includes the required database features and options. We had a requirement for a database engine that could fulfill all technical, functional, security, and compliance requirements. I am listing some features I found very useful and implemented in our solution. RAC Data Guard Edition, Based Redefinition, Unified Audit, Transparent Data Encryption, Database Vault.

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

Yes

Are you happy with Oracle Database's feature set?

Yes

Did Oracle Database live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Oracle Database go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Oracle Database again?

Yes

We migrated from NoSQL to an Oracle database. One of the reasons was robust backup and recovery options available in the Oracle database, which provide zero data loss. A transactional database like Oracle is a better fit for our use case than NoSQL. On a large scale, deployment was evaluated as a cheaper option than the NoSQL engine. This conclusion came even after considering Oracle license is expensive.
