One of the handful of positive commenters begged to differ. "It's a really stable product. I have worked in a lot of SAP projects, and the problems are always the people ... not the software."

Although Oracle had a lower negative rating than SAP, it stood at number four on the hate list on Friday because Amplicate has collected far more hateful comments, many of which are unprintable.

Some tie into the oft-forwarded notion of Oracle as an evil empire bent on dominating the software industry. "Oracle destroys good open software and sues whatever it can get its greedy little hand on," one reads.

Nearly 900 express love for the company, although in a similar manner to SAS Institute, the results appeared to include many false positives for the word "Oracle."

However, Oracle products such as the PeopleSoft ERP suite fare well in Amplicate ratings, suggesting the individual can be separated from the institution.
