It allows you to store everything in an organized and friendly looking way. > > **Cons**: An Oracle license is expensive. That is basically my only negative comment on this software. ----- ### "Oracle DBMS Versatility" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *21 July 2022* | Oil & Energy | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Widely used software for the applications we need to run our business. With support options we need to ensure it remains online 100% > > **Cons**: Ridiculously expensive to purchase and complex license terms and conditions. Support is painful to get to the right team. however, resolution for issues once you get to the team is quick and painless. > > Doing a base install of oracle DBMS is pretty easy. Setting up instances, tablespace, permissions, roles, and user schemas is more complex. However, having the skills necessary to do all this makes it easier. We also run Oracle RMAN for nightly backups, and transaction log backups makes our DR and recovery very easy to manage. ----- ### "Old and Outdated and in need of refurbishing/needs to be replaced by some new Google product" — 2.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *17 April 2019* | Printing | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: Had to use it for work. It was ok for filesharing, but I feel like half the time it didn't work anyway. > > **Cons**: DEFINITELY needs a facelift in terms of its GUI. I thiiiink it needs to be more secure too, I feel like we had issues with security but I could be wrong. Seems old and outdated and like it should have already been replaced and made obsolete by some sexy new Google or startup product. > > Oracle helped our business use secure filesharing, but wasn't great. We stored a lot of stuff on their database but I am overall not a fan. It was helpful to our company, but I feel like there HAS to be bigger and better and more user-friendly products out there doing a better job. ----- ### "World's best RDBMS database" — 5.0/5 > **Samuel** | *26 December 2022* | Logistics & Supply Chain | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Oracle is the \#1 reliable RDBMS database in the world. It is fast, reliable and secured. It is the gold standard in the database world. To scale how good is a database product, it will be placed in front of Oracle database and compare with it > > **Cons**: 1. Oracle is not Windows operating system friendly. It is usually built on Linux, which is not user friendly for most people. Anyone who wants to become an Oracle expert will take many years to become a senior level developer or administrator2. very expensive, not for personal usage > > Since I've been an Oracle DBA for about ten years, I greatly appreciate how well Oracle Database manages the deployment of the majority of the data for the company I work for. It also enables stable backup and storage of vast volumes of data and supports a number of programming languages. Oracle offers PL/SQL, a complicated but effective query language that is not simple. The world's most potent characteristics include data auditing, backup and recovery, data encryption, as well as the capability for data analysis. Companies that use Oracle databases pay for technical support services, which are provided by highly knowledgeable and competent Oracle professionals who are available 24/7. This implies that you will never be without a solution to a problem or an issue. Cost is by far Oracle database's largest drawback. ----- ### "Oracle Database: Still a Leader in DBMS and SQL Databases" — 4.0/5 > **Maha** | *9 July 2023* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Oracle Database has been my number one choice when teaching enterprise application development. Although it is a bit heavy and not that easy to deploy, students can get a lot of advantages learning a highly demanded DBMS platform that really adds a lot on their resume. The SQL concepts are easily tested against the database using the SQL Developer software. Moreover, JDBC drivers allow seamless integrations and very high performance when using Java to connect to the database on the client side, or when relying on the Java Servlets and Java Server Pages middleware on the Application server. Using Oracle with Java based technologies was definitely a very compatible option that simplifies and speeds up the development process. > > **Cons**: As stated, Oracle is not very easy to install and configure by novice developers. It is a bit heavy on low end devices. > > Great experience using Oracle in academia. Concepts such as SQL tuning and optimization, indexing, cloud integration, ER-Design, SQL injection attacks, ... can be effectively demonstrated to students using this RDBMS. ----- Page: 1 / 20\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/148636/oracle-database-cloud?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/148636/oracle-database-cloud) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
