German COMPUTERWOCHE: Customers blame Oracles Service
...According to a survey of the DOAG, more than the half of Oracle's customers complain that product and service quality has been getting worser...
An interesting survey held by the german Oracle user group (DOAG) shows undoubtedly the painful experience that most Oracle administrators experience every single day:
Oracles Product- und Service-Quality:
- is improving: 6%
- is getting worser: 57%
- stays equal: 37%
More than the half of the survey participants believe that Oracles already poor service and product quality is further declining.
Hear Oracle DBA's talking about the product quality:
"The greatest challenge is to keep up with all the Oracle bugs and patch fixes. Even the current version of 10gR2 that we are on has a large number of bugs and issues. Keeping on top of these is a big challenge, considering that we have over 100 databases.”
Time for a change or ?
IBM offers with Informix 11 and the MACH 11 technology an interesting and cost-effective alternative to Oracle RAC und DataGuard:
- MACH 11 - InformixZone Technology Overview
- MACH 11 - IBM PDF Document describing the MACH 11 Technology
- MACH 11 - IBM PDF Document describing Continuous Availability in IDS 11
Take a look at the attractive winback offers from IBM for customers migrating from Oracle to INFORMIX:
Many customers have INFORMIX as well as Oracle database in production use. Consistently they make the experience that INFORMIX as opposed to Oracle delivers an outstanding product stability, is very easy to administer, doesn't contain so many serious security holes and delivers a first-class support.
