"I give it a nine out of 10 because it gives the customer easy access to a complete database solution within 30 minutes.""Oracle Database Appliance provides high stability.""The most valuable feature is the performance.""The product is good value for money. It is a secure solution.""The product is very light.""The performance of the system is the solution's most valuable aspect. In combination with the database, it gives perfect results. It's a better system than using other kinds of integrated systems. In general, the ODA control is much simpler to use and offers up the best performance.""Oracle Database Appliances are specifically designed for Oracle databases.

More Actian Ingres Cons →

"In my opinion only one single command should be used for all ODA models, as it’s confusing.""The feature that I would like to see improve is the interface. It is really not good. I almost have to work on script by script in it. There is always some issue with the user interface.""The product's pricing is too high. We plan to migrate to another database in three to four years.""If we were able to use Oracle Database to create mobile apps, that would be great. I don't know multiple languages, like Java, etc. I need to learn a separate language, right now in order to do this.""The license cost could be cheaper, especially for long-term contracts.""Virtualization features could also be improved. A web-based GUI would be a good start.""Oracle Database Appliance patching comes out two to three months after the regular patching cycle.""It would be beneficial to have dedicated RAM included in the Oracle Database Appliance."
