We performed a comparison between Exasol 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 speed is very good compared to other databases, like SQL Server or Oracle."
"We mainly chose Exasol for its performance reasons."
"Its speed is great."
"The most valuable feature of Exasol is its speed."
"Performance is a top priority, and it excels in this aspect."
"It is easy to scale."
"The solution is hands-off; you set it up insert your data and it self tunes queries."
"We can quickly scale the solution as it works on an MPP system."
"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."
"It accelerates query processing, which in turn speeds up operations and streamlines workflow, and ultimately enhancing productivity."
"I like Oracle because it is a backward-compatible solution."
"The scalability is very good."
"The most valuable aspects of this solution are the fast caching and improved performance to the database"
"The product offers high scalability."
"The scalability of the solution is very good. It's able to support large amounts of data."
"The solution's ROI is excellent."
"It's not cloud-native so many maintenance operations require downtime."
"It would be beneficial if the updates would occur more often."
"They don't talk very well to with other products when it comes to connectivity. Integration is lacking."
"Lacks a cloud-based platform."
"There are limited resources available to help me resolve the issue with Exasol."
"You have to install Exasol drivers, and it's not easy to find or implement a driver into different systems."
"They should improve the security features for MPP processing."
"The only area where we found it could improve was in custom role creation and security, and it was difficult to work with."
"Technical support is below our expectations currently. It could be improved."
"The pricing could be improved. It would ideal if it was more reasonable."
"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."
"They should improve the solution's scalability for large databases."
"Oracle should include column store or advanced query optimization so a database can be optimized by enabling analytic queries to run faster."
"I would like Oracle Database In-Memory to include a data replication feature."
"Lacks sufficient integration with other tools."
