April 11, 2022

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We've deployed it on our applications workloads to scale our data management including the ultra mission databases that have sensitive data. It's working swiftly in data protection using AI that's not prone to errors like humans. We've used it to manage our customers' data- invoices, recordings, and reports securely and while maintaining a high-performance status.

Pros

It generates reports in real time
Security of data is always guaranteed
Works well in data tweaking and encryption

Cons

Lacks Database Administration monitoring tools.

Likelihood to Recommend

Oracle Autonomous Database has been impressive with AI analytics to eliminate the human componential errors in database management. It's also well suited for lifecycle tasks with no downtimes. Automation of routine tasks with Oracle Autonomous Database is very efficient, running upgrades and data backups on its own, yours is just to schedule. The only issue is that it requires skilled professionals to manage it.

Scenarios where this is best suited are like where there are not large set of data which has to be analyzed and extracted.It helps in the efficiency of data .It is also well suited for medium size companies where you have to create a common data for everyone.
As for large set of data, there can be network latency issues and thus there are some limitations of this software.

December 28, 2021

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

In my previous company before this one, We used it for capturing and registering motor vehicle speed infringements. One of the problems which [were] addressed was how easy it was for me to get reports for the business to make decisions. However, though not mentioned in the question, I find it so difficult to find tools [that] be used to monitor and administer this database and others am currently using.

Pros

Data Integrity
Provides very high security
Reporting
Has very good speed on queries

Cons

If possible, it should come with tools for monitoring as a DBA.
Should provide some tools for automating jobs.
Should come with some custom reports.

Likelihood to Recommend

It is well suited for data warehousing but for me, I find it difficult for monitoring purposes.

November 28, 2021

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

It is used across organizations in different projects. It has the best performance as compared to other databases and best in security as well. Synchronization between servers Master & Slave is acceptable. We have functions and procedures which have thousands of lines of codes and all these are stored under one package, which makes it easy to maintain.

Pros

Specific encryption and decryption
Security
Performance

Cons

Multi-tenancy required improvement
Distributed architecture

Likelihood to Recommend

It is the best-suited database overall for every scenario. Best for user management, transaction management, secure areas, such as banking data, storing some specific keys, secure data, encrypted data, and offers a huge procedure and function.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We used it for on-premises migration to the cloud. The biggest [benefits] are the ease of administration, automated patching, and scalability. Performance on demand and multiple peak concurrency and usage [is] pretty much out-of-the-box. The existing DBAs can focus on tasks that give more value to the customer instead of routine support tasks.

Pros

Scalable
Concurrency
Easy scale up and down

Cons

Bigger control on configuration
