"We value the appliance architecture with its “everything-in-a-box” highly standardized setup.""The main feature is the management and manageability of the tool. We can create a VM on a laptop within a couple of clicks.""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 Appliance provides high stability.""I give it a nine out of 10 because it gives the customer easy access to a complete database solution within 30 minutes.""The initial setup was straightforward and quick - I was able to configure everything within an hour.""We use the solution for our Java applications.""The most valuable features of the solution revolve around its performance, simplicity, and its installation phase."

More Actian Ingres Cons →

"The tool's setup can be easier.""The product's pricing is too high. We plan to migrate to another database in three to four years.""Oracle Database Appliance could improve by having better integration.""Even though the solution can handle a lot of data, it's just too expensive currently.""They could incorporate a more secure and internet-centric management system for the platform.""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 product is quite complex to set up, initially. It would be ideal if it was simpler.""The solution's initial setup is not easy."
