We performed a comparison between IBM Db2 Database 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."Its robustness, scalability, availability, and performance are valuable. All these are the major attributes of a relational database for supporting a very high-volume business, and Db2 is very good in all those areas and in all those attributes."
"The solution's security is very tough and impenetrable."
"The self-management and optimization features are probably the best on the market"
"Db2's best features are that it's self-maintaining and self-monitoring, which means I have to view and monitor the database far less often."
"Scales well enough for a relational database."
"Db2 Database has given us good results since we have started to use it. We predominantly use IBM hardware, and this is one of the reasons why we started to use Db2 Database. Db2 Database has a very good HADR capability. High availability resilience is also good in this solution. It also has pureScale, which allows you to upgrade one node to get very good and high-level resilience. If you are using a database on five nodes, you can take one node down, upgrade that, and let that node up. You can then bring the second node down, upgrade that, and so on."
"The solution has very good data compression of up to 50%. For example, if you have 50 terabytes of data, it can be reduced to 25 terabytes."
"The solution can scale."
"It efficiently handles low-code data and supports read-and-write operations for clustering."
"The scalability is very good."
"The application development is very user-friendly."
"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 solution's ROI is excellent."
"We can integrate it with any data sources as well."
"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 need some time to improve the performance. We have to perform a weekly REORG, or else RUNSTATS for the databases."
"Not very solid compared to its competitors' products."
"Also, the website could be more intuitive. I didn't find it easy to find documentation on the website."
"The solution could be more modern and have updated database technology."
"The GUI interface is not particularly friendly for those who do not have experience with the product."
"The solution's UI hasn't been upgraded. The solution’s UI is an area to improve because the solution was developed long ago."
"The initial setup could be improved."
"The initial set up was complex."
"The solution is quite expensive."
"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."
"Lacks sufficient integration with other tools."
"It would be good if Oracle could reduce downtime when transferring from non-In-Memory to In-Memory."
"The query optimization and backup features should be added."
"The pricing could be improved. It would ideal if it was more reasonable."
"Technical support is below our expectations currently. It could be improved."
"I would like Oracle Database In-Memory to include a data replication feature."
