What do you like best about the product?

Security and ease of migration from Oracle. A common attack on databases is to replace true data with false data. Oracle handles this type of attack by digitally “signing” data so that any change is the data values will produce different “signatures” and would trigger a warning. So this simple class of attack should be neutralized. Tibero provides a higher level of compatibility with other DBMS compared to competitors. Tibero
also has an automated migration tool and easily integrates with heterogeneous DBMS through its
flexible DB link compatibility.

What do you dislike about the product?

Not too much, maybe more help with some initial setup questions. Some of the documentation isn't straightforwards enough. Tibero DBMS Admin function is fast and efficient for monitoring purposes and also has an integrated GUI tool, however there is a learning curve for anyone new to the platform. Configuring kernel parameters had some issues.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Lower the licensing costs of Oracle, which had a smaller feature set. We needed a feature rich and easy to deploy alternative to Oracle DB.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

The big players are under threat from both open source and smaller niche providers, this provider has history but is less well known, the ease of porting from Oracle was one advantage and less licensing costs.
