What do you like best about Oracle Database Express Edition (XE)?

1. Secure - security is one of the major challege in any database solution. With Oracle in the backend, be assured the security and stabality of the data.

2. Movement of data items - within databses works like a charm.

3. Tons of documentations available in the marketplace, so if you're stuck, go check the official documentation and it will help you find a solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Oracle Database Express Edition (XE)?

1. Support for this tool from official vendor is not very good. I have faced problems personally. The staff can be better trained for technical expertise.

2. Limits performance with too heavy databases. So you might need to consider for choices in case, you're planning for very huge data sets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Oracle Database Express Edition (XE) solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have all our internal application databases setup with Oracle XE. It works fantastically with the small scale databases, however, for client facing, we do not use this database becasuse of its limitations with the performance. Also, the apis available with platform are very robust. Therefore, it easily embeds in your testing environments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Oracle Database Express Edition (XE)?

We can run our SQL or PL / SQL commands we write in our database. For me, the best part of this database is that it is free and licensed indefinitely.
