Oracle’s pricing is “whatever we can get from the customer.”

Their salespeople are so hyper-agressive that I can tell which vendors have ex-Oracle reps.

Definitely! We actually dropped one vendor because it was all ex-Oracle salespeople, and their negotiation tactics were outrageous. They tried to hold us over a barrel and instead we made a major platform change in six weeks just so we could tell them to f-off.
