An easy-to-deploy solution that can be used for data ingestion and usage
I work for a fintech company where we create several strategies generally built on finance data, which are like one-time series data. We deal with huge bulk data on a daily basis, and we use kdb+ for data ingestion and usage The most valuable feature of kdb+ is the speed at which it returns the…

Has improved data security and automation while supporting large-scale storage and migration
I do not use the Global Reach feature. Regarding metrics and performance, I don’t recall the exact performance metrics, but we use ETL processes to monitor and manage migration performance and data quality. Oracle Database Cloud Service is strong for data management and storage, as well as for its security features and automation of data dumps and archiving. Overall, Oracle Database Cloud Service is a solid product. It’s well-suited for financial platforms. Oracle provides both its on-premises and cloud-based suites, and the company continues to evolve, offering more components for data storage, data management, and integration with other tools and SaaS solutions. I plan to continue using Oracle Database Cloud Service, particularly for managing SaaS tools in financial contexts.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The solution returns data quickly, and data retrieval is fast in kdb+."
"Technically, this is a very, very, good product or database, whether on-premises or on the cloud."
"I am impressed with the product's partitioning and advanced data card."
"The self-maintenance features, auto maintenance, cleanup, and backup are the most valuable aspects of Oracle Database Cloud Service."
"The product’s most valuable feature is affordable pricing compared to other providers."
"Some advantages of Oracle Database Cloud Service are its availability, performance, and affordability."
"Security is the most valuable feature provided by the product."
"Oracle Database Cloud Service is good for managing data and storage, and also with the security and automation of the dump and graduate data."
"I recommend Oracle Database Cloud Service as a good technology with excellent support and documentation."
 

Cons

"The solution should have a more user-friendly user interface."
"In my opinion, the price of Oracle Database Cloud Service should be more affordable. Additionally, the interface of the application could be more user-friendly."
"Oracle Database Cloud Service could improve by adding some cross-region replication features."
"Oracle Database Cloud Service is a good engine and at the moment, there isn't any new feature I can think of that I'd like added to the service. The only problem I see in Oracle Database Cloud Service is it's more commercial, so it has a relation to how it deals with customers. I don't feel secure in a deal with Oracle because that team changes the conditions each year, and there's no representative from the team that talks to my company about new needs. Oracle needs to improve its relationship with customers and partners in general."
"The user interface of the database could be like SQL Developer on-premise. The scripts are not persistent in the cloud, and the export of the data is not quite like on-prem."
"The initial setup is a bit complex for the beginner, so you need a little technical experience to install it."
"Oracle Database Cloud Service has room for improvement in handling large-scale applications."
"I think the program is rather expensive, so I would like to see it becoming more affordable."
"We encountered connection failures for some of our sites."

"The product has reasonable pricing. I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."
"The tool is not cheap."
