Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"I am satisfied with the performance.""The most valuable feature of Cassandra is its fast retrieval. Additionally, the solution can handle large amounts of data. It is the quickest application we use.""Some of the valued features of this solution are it has good performance and failover.""The time series data was one of the best features along with auto publishing.""A consistent solution.""Can achieve continuous data without a single downtime because of node to node ring architecture.""The most valuable features are the counter features and the NoSQL schema. It also has good scalability. You can scale Cassandra to any finite level.""The solution's database capabilities are very good."

"NoSQL has high availability. I think it's perfect from a technical perspective. It's quick to run and go.""The product meets expectations when it comes to stability.""The tool is easy to learn.""The tool performs well."

More Oracle NoSQL Pros →

Cons
"The solution is not easy to use because it is a big database and you have to learn the interface. This is the case though in most of these solutions.""The solution is limited to a linear performance.""It can be difficult to analyze what's going on inside of the database relative to other databases. It can also be difficult to troubleshoot sometimes.""The secondary index in Cassandra was a bit problematic and could be improved.""Cassandra can improve by adding more built-in tools. For example, if you want to do some maintenance activities in the cluster, we have to depend on third-party tools. Having these tools build-in would be e benefit.""The initial setup of Cassandra can be difficult in the configuration. There might be a need to have assistance. The implementation process can six months for connecting to certain databases.""There could be more integration, and it could be more user-friendly.""The solution doesn't have joins between tables so you need other tools for that."

"Oracle could improve how NoSQL works in containers. I don't think NoSQL needs any new features, but I want to see new features in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. I would like to see some improvements in OCI's building options.""The licensing model is bad.""The installation is difficult.""Handling big data in a user-friendly way is currently a bit of an issue. The dashboard for this needs some work."

    Overview

    Cassandra is a distributed and scalable database management system used for real-time data processing. 

    It is highly valued for its ability to handle large amounts of data, scalability, high availability, fault tolerance, and flexible data model. 

    It is commonly used in finance, e-commerce, and social media industries.

    The Oracle NoSQL Database (ONDB) provides network-accessible multiterabyte distributed key/value pair storage with predictable latency. Data is stored in a very flexible key-value format, where the key consists of the combination of a major and minor key (represented as a string) and an associated value (represented as a JSON data format or opaque set of bytes). It offers full Create, Read, Update and Delete (CRUD) operations, with adjustable durability and consistency guarantees. It also provides powerful and flexible transactional model that eases the application development.

    The Oracle NoSQL Database is designed to be a highly available and extremely scalable system, with predictable levels of throughput and latency, while requiring minimal administrative interaction.
