What differentiates Oracle Database from other similar products?

Oracle Database offers highly effective features that allow my organization to practice storing data and also execute transactions online. It helps to analyze data and make recommendations to improve performance and efficiency in handling stored data. Oracle Database data consolidation, query optimization, partitioning, backup, and recovery have been critical to our organization.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

This is a robust platform that enables the business to run efficiently, providing data quickly when needed for business analysis. Oracle has a robust security framework so that unauthorized users have restricted access to data. It can run on all platforms, from a PC to a supercomputer. They allow the use of partitions to improve efficiency. It offers an excellent cloud service like Oracle Cloud to store data.

What do you dislike most about this product?

One of the main disadvantages that it presents is the high cost. In addition to the fact that the configuration in the installation of this software is not very cumbersome.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

It is the most efficient and versatile database, it allows adding, editing, updating and deleting data. Once the data is stored in the Oracle database, it can be accessed by different users according to their security permission level to run online transaction processing.
