Share your experience using NuoDB

We are into IoT intrusion systems. Our product is based on building automation systems. We get sensor data from across the regions. We have our own cloud hosted in GCP. The sensor data comes directly to Cassandra. We use MariaDB as a data source for UI purposes. We use a 3-node multi-master architecture using MariaDB Galera Cluster. It is deployed on Kubernetes.

The tool has good scalability and performance. The integration with other products is seamless.

We are facing some deadlock issues when the nodes get rebooted. There is not much support available. The support must be improved. The downtime is more. It takes us time to restore production. There must be less downtime during outages.

I have been using the solution for around six years.

I rate the tool’s stability an eight out of ten. During outages, the recovery time is longer. It takes a lot of time to get the cluster working.

The 3-node architecture is sufficient for our product.

We tried Oracle. It was not affordable. We switched to MariaDB because it is a cost-effective solution.

Everything is automated. Once we deploy the cluster, a 3-node master setup will be ready. The solution is deployed on the cloud.

The tool is open-source.

The solution is very cheap compared to other products like Oracle or SQL Server. We did not compare the tool with PostgreSQL. Some of our customers are planning to move to PostgreSQL. Oracle provides enterprise-level support. SQL Server is backed by Microsoft. MariaDB’s performance and scalability are on par with Oracle and SQL Server.

We had planned for an RDBMS version and not NoSQL. We use MariaDB Galera Cluster. It's a good product. It is cheap, scalable, performs well, and is efficient. We use GCP’s BigQuery for machine learning. We must follow the best practices of the tool.

We missed some best practices like the storage engine and InnoDB. It was very difficult to identify why we were having performance issues. Then, we realized that some of our tables were still on MyISAM, the default storage engine. When we switched it back to the InnoDB, it was very smooth. InnoDB is the recommended one. We must follow the best practices given in the documentation during the initial setup.

Overall, I rate the product a nine out of ten.

Ideally, I don't work with Oracle Database, but I take care of product security.

As we have a lot of data used in our data bank, it makes up for a major reason why our company uses Oracle Database.

Considering the current threats in the industry, my company has to put in efforts to update the tool, or we have to work on some more things so that we can have a secure environment. The aforementioned area can be improved in the tool.

I have been using Oracle Database for eight to nine years.

It is a pretty stable solution. It is also an easy-to-use product. I rate the stability an eight to nine out of ten.

Considering the number of instances for which my company uses the product, I feel it is a scalable solution. I rate the scalability a nine out of ten.

The solution's technical support is very fast and good. As Oracle is an old organization in the market, the support offered is good.

The product's installation phase was straightforward.

The solution is deployed on the cloud and on-premises models.

The installation part of the product required my company's in-house team members and third-party help.

I don't have operational experience. I don't know how to use Oracle Database in applications. I used to install the product earlier, but I am now responsible for defining the security requirements to be implemented in our organization.

I recommend the product to others.

It is a stable solution. The product is able to fulfill the requirements of its users.

In terms of the security part of the product, a more secure environment can be implemented by implementing encryption and other such areas.

The migration process from other tools to Oracle Database is very simple.

In terms of the benefits of the tool, I feel that the product adds value since it offers stability and the support is really good.

I rate the tool a nine out of ten.
