Oracle is the pioneer and leader in the Relational Database management systems. When you say Database, Oracle is the first name that comes to the mind. It does a great job and checks all the boxes on the requirements list for a good RDBMS like the ACID properties, transaction management, virtual private directory and security policies. It integrates well with all different kinds of applications with easy UI setup to choose what individual products we want or a simpler standard installation.

Depending on your tier of association (Gold, silver or platinum), you will have different SLAs for support - irrespective of tier, you get a standard on-boarding support. Its comparatively cheaper in the RDBMS landscape as they are the one of pioneers in this landscape. They do have few AI features but didnt get chance to test these.

Nothing much to dislike about this as it meets all the basic requirements expected. Only complaint though would be that its a bit slow sometimes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how Oracle Database absorbs data on a frequent and regular basis with little issues. It's really helpful that it seamlessly and automatically transfers data from our HRIS, allowing for powerful diagnosis and analysis. It's also good at letting us know what causes any issues. Additionally, the initial setup was rather easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A commonly complaint I've heard is the interface, I'm not entirely sure if it's because we have an outdated version, but it's not extremely user friendly. Also, when I have tried to reach support, it's not super clear where to go to get that support and the response rate is not the fastest. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For critical applications, it offers superior scalability and advanced security compared to other tools. It has high availability and disaster recovery capabilities, also it provides rich ecosystem of enterprise tools and support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only thing I dislike about is, its licensing cost which is way higher than other open source alternatives. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I value most about Oracle Database is its robustness and reliability for critical enterprise environments. The architecture is designed to ensure high availability, scalability, and security, allowing for the handling of large volumes of data without compromising performance. Additionally, its advanced functionalities, such as transaction management, query optimization, and administration tools, make it easier to maintain integrity and efficiency in complex processes. This solidity makes it an ideal solution for organizations that require stability and long-term support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Although Oracle Database offers very comprehensive features, I consider its main disadvantage to be the complexity in administration and the associated cost. The learning curve is steep, which implies investing time and resources to master its configurations and optimizations. Likewise, licenses and additional services tend to be expensive, which limits its adoption in projects with tight budgets. In some cases, this complexity can create a dependency on highly specialized personnel, increasing operational costs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Oracle Database is practical and easy to use. I appreciate the ease of modifying in SQL, and I also like that it creates something that really works. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think that for those who are not familiar and do not have knowledge, it is a somewhat complex platform. The cost licensing and resource consumption are also important points. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Oracle Database to store and manage data for my applications, as it helps keep the data oriented. I like that it's reliable when dealing with large datasets. The data stored is very secure and Oracle Database has strong features to analyze and manage data. It helps keep my data organized, reduces manual workload, and is easy to make changes. I also find that, with the right steps, the initial setup is easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Maybe sometimes for beginners it's not very easy to understand, it's expensive too, and performance tuning takes time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very easy to use- as a layman on the software I grasped the basic concepts and could navigate through the dashboard easily without any formal training.

I used it frequently as during my audit procedures for a US client. I had the access to the client's profile. At times in case we faced any issues we contacted the customer support through email or submitted a request and received response usually within 24 hours.

The client during 2020 transitioned from Netsuite to Oracle and the implementation process was very smooth and easy.

Further, the application could be easily integrated to other softwares used by the company- such as leasequery and could be assessed through Oracle. Overall, in my opinion it was the best system ever used. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I personally faced issues with report generation—it felt a bit complicated and tedious to figure out which report is meant for which purpose and what results each one will produce.

Similarly the journal entry recording process is a bit tidious. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Oracle Database is fast, secure, and highly reliable. You can lock tables to prevent concurrent updates and maintain data integrity. PL/SQL in Oracle is a robust and versatile language that supports advanced features, including the ability to invoke Java methods and consume RESTful APIs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

PL/SQL syntax can be challenging to learn and is not considered very modern, but it remains highly reliable and powerful. Debugging in Oracle can also be complex compared to some other platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like Oracle Database for its high reliability, strong security, scalability, and ability to handle large volumes of data efficiently with minimal downtime. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One drawback of Oracle Database is its high licensing and maintenance cost, along with its complexity in setup, management, and performance tuning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This product helps lower operational costs and utilizes a single database to manage all types of data. It ensures a secure hybrid cloud environment and delivers improved identity management along with enhanced user controls. Backup and recovery processes are fast, and the system supports multiple databases. Scalability is excellent, and the inclusion of Flashback technology adds further value.

Very easy to use and integration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can't speak for everyone, but in my experience, Oracle's software is generally quite reliable. The design and engineering behind their RDBMS, Grid, and RAC systems are so well-crafted that I find them genuinely impressive. While the execution is typically solid, there have been some significant missteps in the past.

On the other hand, Oracle as a corporation is about as profit-driven as they come, and their support desk has never been the same since the acquisition of Sun Microsystems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
