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."Installation is straightforward."
"MariaDB can solve things better than MySQL. Maria DB has better performance than MySQL."
"Great monitoring and performance stability."
"MariaDB is a user-friendly solution. Performance wise, it's better than SQL. With SQL, I would need to write a number of queries. In contrast, MariaDB is light."
"MariaDB is scalable."
"It's open source."
"MariaDB performs well as the backend database for our cloud-based telephony solution."
"The most valuable feature of MariaDB is the replication mode."
"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 scalability of the solution is very good. It's able to support large amounts of data."
"Oracle Database In-Memory is a suite of features that improves performance for real-time analytics and mixed workloads."
"The product offers high scalability."
"The solution's ROI is excellent."
"I like Oracle because it is a backward-compatible solution."
"The most valuable feature is that Database-In-Memory is more consistent and faster than traditional databases as it requires fewer CPUs to process instructions."
"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."
"In future releases, mainly the addition of security features would be beneficial for MariaDB."
"MariaDB could be improved by adding more automation."
"The difficult part related to the product stems not from the tool itself but is related to learning how to implement the product in the right way without creating any wrong configuration that could cause security issues or performance issues."
"I'd like to see improved materialized views, like the ability to save select queries. This feature is missing in MariaDB compared to other relational databases like Oracle and SQL Server."
"The scaling for database online transactions needs improvement."
"I’m not sure if it can scale."
"MariaDB doesn't handle long or complex SQL queries quite as well as Oracle Database."
"There is room for improvement in terms of security."
"They should improve the solution's scalability for large databases."
"Technical support is below our expectations currently. It could be improved."
"The high cost of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Oracle should include column store or advanced query optimization so a database can be optimized by enabling analytic queries to run faster."
"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."
"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."
"The platform’s pricing needs improvement."
"The product could be more economical."
