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."Oracle offers good security and supports customization."
"It's very stable and highly available. I also like the row-level locking feature. It can manage billions of rows of data."
"The solution is easy to use. It also offers a Database Vault."
"The scalability is quite good."
"I really appreciate the performance of Oracle. When using AWR records you can really see where a problem is. You can get advice about which queries are the heaviest for the database. You also can see advice for indexes. If an index isn't used, then you can just remove it to improve performance. This is a really good feature. Also, the JDBC connection is quite good. Finally, the object types are really good, the types of tables you can use in PL/SQL are also really helpful."
"As a database, the solution has been number one from the beginning."
"The dashboard may be the best solution for intelligent data management, as well as business intelligence."
"It's one of the leading databases on the market."
"Security is the most valuable feature."
"The scalability of the solution is very good. It's able to support large amounts of data."
"We can integrate it with any data sources as well."
"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."
"I like Oracle because it is a backward-compatible solution."
"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."
"The product offers high scalability."
"The most valuable aspects of this solution are the fast caching and improved performance to the database"
"The interface is not reliable because the GUI is old."
"Oracle is very expensive. So if I suggest Oracle to a client, they'll often say it's too costly."
"The pricing could be improved."
"The main thing we find could use improvement is the licensing costs. It is quite expensive relative to other database vendors. Cost always comes up as an issue for us as we consider upgrade paths. It's not as easy as we would like it to be."
"Oracle Database required some time to learn the basics and how it works. However, this is typical for database solutions."
"The product is very expensive."
"The solution could improve security."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
"They should lower the price. My customers think that it's too expensive."
"Technical support is below our expectations currently. It could be improved."
"The product could be more economical."
"They should improve the solution's scalability for large databases."
"Lacks sufficient integration with other tools."
"It would be good if Oracle could reduce downtime when transferring from non-In-Memory to In-Memory."
"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."
"The solution should move to the new way of writing software code with AI that is intelligent and learns."
