RE: Oracle Support Getting Worse?

Agreed on this push to the cloud. That said, I will say that (so far) I have found the cloud support to be very good when I have needed it.

Oracle seems to have no more interest in on-premise Oracle Databases. Even those that have active support contracts.

The move-to-cloud express order is the new mantra. Those who stay on this wrecked ship should promptly ask for a rescue.

I have found that the Enterprise Manager team and Golden Gate team have MUCH better responses. The database team however is usually bad. Often they will first respond with some dumb questions that I have already answered in the description of my problem. They will often do this for the first couple days. I recently had an SR open Serv2 that went over a month with no response. I called three times to get escalated and have the manager call me back, no one ever did. Got my account manager involved and was still getting ignored. So frustrating.

Some SRs get resolved pretty quickly, while others sit idle for days and don't get escalated when I call in and request an escalation. I would have gotten canned quite a while ago if that is how I treated my customers.

After 3.5 hours, no response, we called and escalated. They transferred it to someone else, and he asked for more information.

Their first suggestion of something to try was this AM at 403. About 15 hours after we opened the SR.

I am thinking asking for a refund of our oracle support payments would be appropriate.
