I use Oracle Database to run critical business applications, handle vast amounts of data, and appreciate its reliability as it never crashes. I like that it doesn't break under pressure, and the tooling for DBAs is incredible. The security and compliance features provided out of the box are excellent, offering control to pass audits and avoid massive fines. It's also quite easy to set up, taking only about 10 minutes to get going. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find the cost and licensing complex. It's challenging to learn and run, Oracle Database is resource-heavy, and the developer experience feels outdated. The vendor lock-in is a concern as well. I think pricing could be simpler, and I would like to see a better cloud-native story with friendlier defaults. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
