User Testimonials
	Google Cloud Spanner	Oracle Autonomous Transaction Processing
Likelihood to Recommend	If you have a large relational database and it is growing fast on daily basis, and if you have a strong need in ACID across all your clusters, and most importantly, if you need to maintain high availability in a large region, Google Cloud Spanner can be a very good choice. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	If your company's value is not increased by maintaining databases, you should use the ATP. Peter Merkert CTO (Chief Technical Officer) Read full review
Pros	Super high availability Scales automatically High standard SLA Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Quick and simple to deploy (less than 5 steps to create a new instance) No administrative tasks (backup, re-sizing) required Incentivized Lisandro Fernigrini Sr. Software Developer / DBA Read full review
Cons	Support for Views Support for more databases (schemas). More index types that can be supported (Functional) Backups (ie table/data backup) if data is deleted or truncate by accident. Incentivized Anson Abraham Data Czar Read full review	Connectivity between ATP and Oracle Kuberentes Engine cluster seems to drop randomly The ATP could come in an even smaller shape as the smallest shape is already quite big . But if must be more than always free, as that version does have connectivity limitations about 20 connections Peter Merkert CTO (Chief Technical Officer) Read full review
Usability	No answers on this topic	You get almost all the features of Oracle Database, including the ability to deploy APEX applications, without having to worry about system, storage or database configuration and maintenance, backups, etc. Also, you can start for free and move up adding resources as you need. Incentivized Lisandro Fernigrini Sr. Software Developer / DBA Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Spanner scales quickly compared to Amazon RDS. Azure Database is about the same as well. MongoDB can scale to horizontal scalability, however, because Mongo doesn't support full ACID, Spanner comes into that aspect. GCP Cloud SQL not as scalable as Spanner. Spanner has more functionality than MongoDB and Amazon RDS & Azure Databases. Incentivized Anson Abraham Data Czar Read full review	Both Azure SQL Database and Oracle Autonomous Transaction Processing offer a powerful and robust database platform. The advantage of Autonomous Transaction Processing is the ability to host APEX applications for free and without any special/complicated deployment or configuration process. Having a rapid development environment embedded for free was the main advantage for choosing Oracle as my cloud database provider. Incentivized Lisandro Fernigrini Sr. Software Developer / DBA Read full review
Return on Investment	Backups specifically if transactional data is deleted. Restoring made us lose time. Sharding on Horizontal level was quick and easy. Deployment and increasing nodes is easy Large dataset handling. ACID compliance Incentivized Anson Abraham Data Czar Read full review	Approx 100 times faster spin up than manual setup of an Oracle DB 3h annual maintenance for big version releases (18c to 19c) compared to est. 500h annual maintenance with manual database updates Peter Merkert CTO (Chief Technical Officer) Read full review
