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."The product has good documentation and you can find many examples online."
"The most valuable feature of MariaDB is that it is open-source and we can easily migrate from other databases, such as Oracle to MariaDB."
"Installation is straightforward."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is a relational database, which is fairly reliable...It is a stable solution."
"One of the great features of MariaDB is its scalability. It's easy to handle even with large databases."
"What I like best about MariaDB is that it is open-source and reliable."
"The most valuable feature of MariaDB is the replication mode."
"I haven't faced any technical issues with the product, and it works fine."
"I like Oracle because it is a backward-compatible solution."
"It accelerates query processing, which in turn speeds up operations and streamlines workflow, and ultimately enhancing productivity."
"The application development is very user-friendly."
"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."
"The scalability of the solution is very good. It's able to support large amounts of data."
"The solution is very fast."
"The product offers high scalability."
"Data continuity could be improved."
"The license should be cheaper and closer to that offered by MySQL, Oracle and other products."
"Replication could be better, and it's not so simple. It would be better if they had a replication server. It would make things a lot easier. You need to have that replication server, but not in the same server farm. Then there will be a bit of latency between both because you should have one in one city and another one in a different city. That kind of solution should be more baked into every single database today. Mirroring the database in a live environment where any record written on the production server replicates instantly across the fiber on the other server wasn't easy. Many people don't even bother with that, and they just run one server."
"In future releases, mainly the addition of security features would be beneficial for MariaDB."
"MariaDB could improve by adding support for non-relational structures and new data types."
"MariaDB's GUI is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"It would be good if they can maybe improve the mass import in the database. Currently, for importing a large number of data, we create a CSV file and upload all the things in the system. The system does not activate them by default. We have to do this manually. This may be due to the version we are using, but this is something we would like to see improved."
"The solution is not scalable."
"The solution is quite expensive."
"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."
"They should lower the price. My customers think that it's too expensive."
"Oracle should include column store or advanced query optimization so a database can be optimized by enabling analytic queries to run faster."
"Lacks sufficient integration with other tools."
"They should improve the solution's scalability for large databases."
"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."
