The only time i kind of liked their products was when the corporation spent 1.5 million on the fastest database I’ve ever seen.

What made it "fast"? Were your workloads properly optimized previously?

I forget the exact specs but it had close to 200 cores and a team of highly paid dbas that had optimized every aspect. Even the worst of queries would come back instantly.

I can second this.

We had a database growing by around 200GB of relevant data per month. While I'm not a fan of Oracle having worked there long ago, that database was unbelievably fast. They moved to MySQL years later and it required a much much bigger tin after being heavily optimized.

It was for an enterprise web app (.net) that was used to process seemingly millions of applications per month which would then pull in a whole ton of external data.
