Really? I sure as hell can fault them - getting them to even acknowledge bugs is a gigantic PITA. Unless you are huge, getting their support people to respond or even understand issues is impossible. The CBO is a gigantic black box and can be incredibly hard to troubleshoot.
They have a CSO who has publicly stated they don't want bug reports or anyone to give them security exploits, and who once gave a talk "How Joshua DoSed Jericho: Cybersecrets of the Bible". [1]
There's plenty more to make you stay away from them at all costs, not the least of which are completely unethical business practices.

[1] While I'm impressed by some of the Oracle engineering there's no question they also know how to squeeze customers just up to the breaking point.
