We performed a comparison between MySQL 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."The product is flexible and easy to use."
"It's a mature solution that's been around for decades."
"I use MySQL for employee service in an OLTP database."
"It was easy to install."
"I like the JSON stuff."
"One of the most valuable features is MySQL's ability to run our email system. We use a system called Colab."
"The initial setup for the SQL database is not complex and it even integrates into the platform. You set up the recipe and then just follow the runbook, the build book. Then it works as long as you follow the procedures."
"The solution is very stable."
"The product offers high scalability."
"The solution's ROI is excellent."
"The application development is very user-friendly."
"It efficiently handles low-code data and supports read-and-write operations for clustering."
"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."
"The scalability is very good."
"The solution is very fast."
"The scalability of the solution is very good. It's able to support large amounts of data."
"There should be more tools to manage the on-premises version and more automation features."
"As an open-source product, there isn't really any technical support available if you get into trouble or have issues."
"I would rate the stability a seven out of ten. It does break down a little at times."
"I would like to see the automatic backup feature in the solution as well. Data is very important and we need to preserve it in a safe place. It would be good if MySQL can back up the data automatically."
"The manuals or documentation could be better."
"The GUI could improve in MySQL."
"The solution could be more secure."
"The solution could improve the monitoring. At the present time, you need to use third-party monitoring solutions."
"They should lower the price. My customers think that it's too expensive."
"We often have to find solutions on our own through the support site, so there's room for improvement in this regard."
"They should improve the solution's scalability for large databases."
"The high cost of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"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."
"Technical support is below our expectations currently. It could be improved."
"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."
"Oracle should include column store or advanced query optimization so a database can be optimized by enabling analytic queries to run faster."
MySQL is ranked 4th in Relational Databases Tools with 142 reviews while Oracle Database In-Memory is ranked 8th in Relational Databases Tools with 27 reviews. MySQL is rated 8.2, while Oracle Database In-Memory is rated 8.8. The top reviewer of MySQL writes "Good beginner base but it should have better support for backups". On the other hand, the top reviewer of Oracle Database In-Memory writes "User friendly with great scalability but needs to move toward intelligent AI". MySQL is most compared with Firebird SQL, PostgreSQL, MariaDB, Teradata and SAP HANA, whereas Oracle Database In-Memory is most compared with SAP HANA, IBM Db2 Database, Progress OpenEdge RDBMS, SQL Server and Exasol.
