"Even though the solution can handle a lot of data, it's just too expensive currently.""The product is quite complex to set up, initially. It would be ideal if it was simpler.""It would be beneficial to have dedicated RAM included in the Oracle Database Appliance.""Oracle Database Appliance could improve by having better integration.""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 solution's initial setup is not easy.""Virtualization needs improvement. It's not easy to back up the virtual machines in the Oracle VM architecture. I would also like to see native support for Veeam Backup Software.""The tool's setup can be easier."
