We performed a comparison between Oracle 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."High availability using real application clusters."
"We find technical support to be very responsive. They briefly describe everything on phone and we handle the operations. I'd say we've been more than satisfied with their level of service. They're quite helpful and knowledgeable."
"Overall, from a technical perspective, the solution is very strong."
"It enables us to comply with our security guidelines, and it is automated."
"It is a reliable database warehouse solution that is transparent to the end user."
"It is very fast. The response times are very fast."
"I like the backend robustness of the database, and the security capabilities inherently that are in the product itself."
"Oracle is a stable product and we plan to continue implementing it."
"The solution's ROI is excellent."
"It accelerates query processing, which in turn speeds up operations and streamlines workflow, and ultimately enhancing productivity."
"The scalability is very good."
"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 can integrate it with any data sources as well."
"Security is the most valuable feature."
"The solution is very fast."
"The application development is very user-friendly."
"The features should be communicated to end users in the proper way."
"The initial setup could be easier."
"The product's price can be lower since it is a bit of an expensive solution."
"It is expensive."
"Customer support could be faster, you currently have to write your issue to them and then they will get back to you after 24-hours."
"Once you start with Oracle you become locked into it."
"The price could be better. Oracle Database could also be easier to scale."
"Probably about 80% of their online documentation is useless. When you go to the Oracle documentation, you have to plow through page after page of stuff to get to anything that looks anything like an example of what it is that you might actually do. There are lots of other people who have filled that gap, and there are also websites where you can easily find the answers to most of your questions."
"Oracle should include column store or advanced query optimization so a database can be optimized by enabling analytic queries to run faster."
"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 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."
"The solution is quite expensive."
"The high cost of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"We often have to find solutions on our own through the support site, so there's room for improvement in this regard."
"They should lower the price. My customers think that it's too expensive."
"The platform’s pricing needs improvement."
