Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It's very straightforward to implement the solution. It took us two days to set up everything.""Its distributed processing capabilities are a standout feature. It requires minimal changes to get up and running if you already have a system on PostgreSQL. Citus can run in its natural state.""You can use Citus Data to write complex scripts. I like its version upgrades and disaster recovery as well."

More Citus Data Pros →

"The most valuable features are the speed and ease of use.""You can scale the solution as needed.""Multitenant has a container database with many pluggable databases.""Maintaining databases is a valuable feature for us.""The database becomes pluggable. Inside this container is called a pluggable database and each application contains this pluggable database inside Multitenant. We can then share resources like control files, memory, etc. This lets you stop and start each application without impacting the others. This resource sharing is the most valuable feature""The feature that I like on Multitenant is the ease - it is very easy for my team to run the database.""It's easy to use and works great.""The best thing about Oracle Multitenant is its ability to consolidate multiple databases into one engine."

Cons
"More features in monitoring and the reporting could make it better.""Citus Data needs to improve its stability. Do not consider this product if you have the budget. It is still developing and has a lot of issues.""There are many areas of improvement , especially in terms of DDL query routing. Even though it's masterless, DDL queries need to be sent to the coordinator node. Also, setting up a multi-node environment could be more straightforward."

More Citus Data Cons →

"While the product is overall excellent, it is quite expensive.""This solution is a bit complicated when collecting from containers - that feature should be a bit better.""It can be complicated to scale up the solution, but it's scalable.""Technical support could be faster.""The solution lacks a GUI for commands.""That said, Oracle in general doesn't invest in their UI for any of their applications. If we're talking about the dashboard or other user experience, there is room for improvement. I'm talking about on premises. The cloud version has started to improve.""It would be beneficial to include this solution with Oracle Enterprise, but Oracle charges additional fees for it.""The user interface for this solution can be made better."

  • More Citus Data Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "This solution is a little bit pricey."
  • "For me, I will go with it if I have the budget. Some features are nicer than before, but at the end of the day, you always have a limited budget. I prefer to upgrade and get a specific hardware when possible. At the end, you will have to make a compromise. You will not get everything you would have liked to have."

    Overview

    Citus is a distributed database that extends PostgreSQL, allowing you to continue using all the powerful Postgres features while still scaling.

    Whether you're running into a ceiling on a single node, or need more performance for real-time analytical queries Citus can help.

    Oracle Multitenant - an Oracle Database 12c Enterprise Edition option – introduces a new architecture that enables customers to easily consolidate multiple databases, without changing their applications. This new architecture delivers all the benefits of managing many databases as one, yet retains the isolation and resource prioritization of separate databases. In addition, Oracle Multitenant enables rapid provisioning and upgrades, and fully complements other options including Oracle Real Application Clusters and Active Data Guard. p>
