Reviews of Oracle Database

Incredibly Fast
Comments: The features I use most in Oracle database; Writing stored procedure, view, cursor and trigger and calling it from within the software, as well as writing instant queries and generating reports.
Pros:
I'm in the banking industry and we have millions of transactions daily. We keep these transactions in the oracle database. Among all this data, we can find, for example, a transaction or customer we want to find, without waiting. An invaluable database tool for complete enterprise companies. The main features that I like the most are that it can process large amounts of data quickly, many users can access the same table or even the same data, and it is very easy to use.
Cons:
I've been using it for years and I've never encountered a feature that I don't like at all.
Oracle Database is a great accounting system for any company
Pros:
I liked that the system offered a convenient way to view all of your customer data and it was easy to navigate the system as a beginner which made it easy to train new employees.
Cons:
We can make the font size bigger, add some more color and space it out a bit more so that visually it is more appealing. After a few hours of working looking at the font caused some slight headaches.

Not worth the money and time
Comments: Not recommended for really predator prices and lack of support.
Pros:
I had to use it because it came from a proprietary provider as it a special case use.
Cons:
The documentation is lacking and the most useful guides are provided by [sensitive content hidden] who unfortunately passed away this year. It really has a hard learning curve and the prices are extremely high. For a core, the prices started from $16k + taxes plus $5k + taxes for annual support. Also, you can't install Oracle on any common cloud environment as it will try to force you to buy licenses for all the capacity of the hypervisor. A basic Oracle specialized server costs nearly $500 a month with a major ISP provider in my country. This is not viable for a starting company.
