Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution returns data quickly, and data retrieval is fast in kdb+."

More kdb+ Pros →

"Normally, every database server uses hard disks. In-Memory has a feature, apart from their database, which is very good. When we start our server, all your data needs loading memory. We can use that. It's a very good feature. I think they added this feature in 2019. We can mount memory in the partition, create partitions in there, and create table space from that spot to share. It's a really good feature. We use it a lot.""We use the tool for real-time data transfer for risk management purposes. In a trading system, conversions happen fast. We use the product to handle fast transactions with low latency.""The on-premise version is stable. We have different teams and resources for the server side, for admin, and for development. We can easily take care of all the services and applications.""The solution's ROI is excellent.""The scalability is very good.""Oracle Database In-Memory is a suite of features that improves performance for real-time analytics and mixed workloads.""It efficiently handles low-code data and supports read-and-write operations for clustering.""The application development is very user-friendly."

"It would be good if Oracle could reduce downtime when transferring from non-In-Memory to In-Memory.""The platform’s pricing needs improvement.""The query optimization and backup features should be added.""Oracle Database In-Memory appliance-based solutions can be restrictive for some applications, as they may require more flexibility in the database design to be tuned and sized to the customer's needs.""The solution is quite expensive.""The high cost of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required.""We often have to find solutions on our own through the support site, so there's room for improvement in this regard.""Oracle should include column store or advanced query optimization so a database can be optimized by enabling analytic queries to run faster."
