Pros
"CockroachDB is highly reliable.""The subset of SQL that my client is using is completely supported.""The tool's most valuable feature is node syncing, which takes only 0.54 milliseconds.""The initial setup and deployment are simple.""I use CockroachDB to test big data samples and to create the best structure for databases. We have four users and required 10 people for deployment and maintenance.""The most valuable features of the solution are its resiliency features and the geo-partitioning capabilities.""The product has valuable security features.""The best feature of CockroachDB is the ability to keep the nodes in different locations."

"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 product offers high scalability.""The most valuable aspects of this solution are the fast caching and improved performance to the database""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 most valuable feature is that Database-In-Memory is more consistent and faster than traditional databases as it requires fewer CPUs to process instructions.""Oracle Database In-Memory is a suite of features that improves performance for real-time analytics and mixed workloads.""We can integrate it with any data sources as well."

Cons
"The platform could be more extensible.""I find the serverless offer a bit confusing.""CockroachDB needs to improve store processes.""The product must improve its disaster recovery features.""Cockroach does not support all types of protocols. I need to improve it myself to support a CouchDB on my network.""The initial setup and pricing could be improved.""The closer they can make CockroachDB to being completely compatible with Postgres, the better. It's almost compatible, but not completely. If it was, it would be nice to just be able to use Postgres libraries without any fiddling.""We are looking for more features to support distributed high availability and geo-partitioning."

"The pricing could be improved. It would ideal if it was more reasonable.""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 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.""The platform’s pricing needs improvement.""The solution should move to the new way of writing software code with AI that is intelligent and learns.""The product could be more economical.""Technical support is below our expectations currently. It could be improved."
