CD Chris D. Programmer Analyst Computer Software Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 10/27/2017 "Oracle is very difficult to work with" 0.5/5 What do you like best about Oracle Database? Oracle packages are a nice way of bundling functionality, much like classes. They make it a lot easier to organize stored procedures and functions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Oracle Database? Everything of Oracle's is insanely expensive and more difficult to setup and administer. The Oracle databases require a lot more manual maintenance, and a lot more effort to setup initially. Additionally, we've been going through an upgrade from 11g to 12c, and it has been incredibly challenging. A number of legacy stored procs have stopped working. All of Oracle's products are very expensive and they never work well together. Oracle's support is terrible as well. At a previous employer, we had Oracle direct one of their customers to us for help, since we were an Oracle customer as well. The first customer called Oracle for help and their support just forwarded the call to us because we were working on something similar, instead of trying to support them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Oracle Database: Oracle is incredibly clunky and expensive. It's impossible to recommend it, even for core enterprise systems. Depending on the complexity of your database, you're going to need to get Oracle consultant time to help set it up, which is also insanely expensive. Oracle has mastered convincing non-technical people to choose Oracle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Oracle Database solving and how is that benefiting you? It's our primary legacy database provider. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
