A great tool for managing multiple databases and centralizing them in one place
It's a very generic tool and could be more specific for certain types of DBMS. While it does have some specific tooling, like for Oracle, there are features for certain databases that can't be found because of its general nature. For example, tools tailored to specific databases, like Firebase, might offer features such as cache configuration directly within the tool. Other vendors, like Artisan, provide functionality that's specific to certain configurations. Improving its cloud capabilities could also be beneficial.

Facilitating real-time business insights with enhanced data querying
Coherence is beneficial due to its multi-indexing to the same object and filtering based on data attributes within the object, followed by aggregation. These features facilitate querying data with multiple keys rather than just a single key. Its real-time data processing capabilities provide insights for business decisions with up-to-date information.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It can be used with many DBMSs and is very practical and user-friendly."
"It can handle an extremely high volume of data."
"It was suited for stock exchange marketing software, improved performance."
"The product is great, simple, and easy to use and integrate."
"Technical support from Oracle is okay."
"Space consumption is much less."
"Coherence allows linear on-line scalability across multiple commodity servers."
"For high-end solutions, involving advanced features, Coherence outstands competitors, fully justifying its price tag."
"Portable object format (POF serialization) allows objects to be serialized and deserialized between Java and .NET so the two platforms can exchange data seamlessly."
 

Cons

"Improving its cloud capabilities could also be beneficial."
"Initial setup is very complex; specifically, a lot of XML effort is required."
"Complexity being a huge contributor to risk/cost for projects, I am more likely to use other products as a result."
"Data transfer performance over geographical locations. Oracle database has better performance compared to Coherence when accessed from different regions."
"Reloading really takes a lot of time."
"The price is high. I believe there should be a cheaper version for only the caching solution."
"Coherence failed to live up to its SLA by not being able to recover but getting into a state where new nodes were created when the old ones were still there but for some reason no longer recognized as being part of the cluster."
"Oracle Coherence has considerable operational risks."
"OSB could be tuned to do things like Apigee."
