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."MySQL gives us all of the critical features that we need in a database, but without the costs."
"It was easy to install."
"A lot of the software components have been trialed and tested for often more than 10 years."
"The speed is very good."
"It creates a unified view of the entire architecture and performance factor, helping to manage the network more easily."
"The IO segregation in CGE is valuable."
"The solution is very stable."
"It has a lot of features. The RDBMS, consistency, and multi-user features are valuable."
"It efficiently handles low-code data and supports read-and-write operations for clustering."
"Security is the most valuable feature."
"The scalability is very good."
"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."
"We can integrate it with any data sources as well."
"The solution's ROI is excellent."
"It accelerates query processing, which in turn speeds up operations and streamlines workflow, and ultimately enhancing productivity."
"Oracle Database In-Memory is a suite of features that improves performance for real-time analytics and mixed workloads."
"The performance, stability, and security are areas with shortcomings in MySQL, where improvements are required."
"The integration with other systems can be improved as can the integration between other databases."
"The interface could be improved."
"MySQL could introduce more indexing strategies."
"Improvements to MySQL depend on the specific use case. For example, in my scenario, I frequently need to maintain and store data, which can then be utilized to generate reports. On the other hand, others may suggest incorporating a feature that allows for easier visualization of the data, such as what is available in Power BI or other similar tools."
"When working with a cluster wide, I have to use the MySQL cluster version."
"MySQL lacks a feature akin to Oracle's Real Application Clusters, which ensures continuous database availability within the same data center or nearby data centers."
"MySQL is not easily scalable on cost effective consumer grade hardware."
"The product could be more economical."
"Lacks sufficient integration with other tools."
"The solution should move to the new way of writing software code with AI that is intelligent and learns."
"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."
"The platform’s pricing needs improvement."
"The high cost of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"They should improve the solution's scalability for large databases."
