We performed a comparison between MariaDB and Oracle Database In-Memory based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Relational Databases Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It's open source."
"This solution is user-friendly."
"I would say that for most use cases it works fine."
"MariaDB has a straightforward initial setup with easy-to-understand documentation."
"The documentation is quite straightforward."
"We use MariaDB for identity provider services. Most of the things that we are doing are deployed in the container mode. All such solutions require a database, and MariaDB is easier to use for these kinds of deployments."
"From a customer perspective, MariaDB is a good choice for cluster configuration. It's also easy to operate and cheap."
"A valuable feature is that we can use it for quite a few things, all the things you'd expect from a server—along the lines of Linux's Lightweight Directory."
"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."
"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 scalability is very good."
"It efficiently handles low-code data and supports read-and-write operations for clustering."
"The most valuable aspects of this solution are the fast caching and improved performance to the database"
"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."
"We can integrate it with any data sources as well."
"The application development is very user-friendly."
"It would be good if they can maybe improve the mass import in the database. Currently, for importing a large number of data, we create a CSV file and upload all the things in the system. The system does not activate them by default. We have to do this manually. This may be due to the version we are using, but this is something we would like to see improved."
"MariaDB could be improved by adding more automation."
"MariaDB's GUI is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"In the next release, I would like to see improvements in the scalability and redundancy features."
"It doesn't have the same level of maturity metrics as Postgres."
"It should work across all fields like SQLite, as it is the basis of any application, even apps for phones and the like."
"The configuration could be improved. It should be easier."
"I am editing."
"The solution should move to the new way of writing software code with AI that is intelligent and learns."
"I would like Oracle Database In-Memory to include a data replication feature."
"The platform’s pricing needs improvement."
"The solution is quite expensive."
"The query optimization and backup features should be added."
"We use some partitions in In-Memory. We have a very large table and a low dose. It is very expensive in data to load all of them into In-Memory. It takes up more memory slots in the server, as well as a lot of RAM. We use last partitions on the table. We always need to create a script and make a schedule that can load a last partition in In-Memory. Oracle doesn't have features to do this automatically. I would like them to allow us to load last partitions, as well as other table partitions, in In-Memory. I think a good feature would do that automatically, letting you see a table, load a large partition, and monitor loading memory. It's quite a good feature."
"We often have to find solutions on our own through the support site, so there's room for improvement in this regard."
"The high cost of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
