Oracle is one of the most expensive databases on the market.

“It helps us meet regulatory requirements with built-in encryption, auditing, and fine-grained access control It handles high-volume workloads without slowing down, which is critical for our financial systems and customer portals.” Oracle gives us the option to run workloads on-prem, in Oracle Cloud, or hybrid — which supports our gradual cloud transition.
