We performed a comparison between CockroachDB 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."The initial setup and deployment are simple."
"The best feature of CockroachDB is the ability to keep the nodes in different locations."
"I use CockroachDB to test big data samples and to create the best structure for databases. We have four users and required 10 people for deployment and maintenance."
"The product has valuable security features."
"The tool's most valuable feature is node syncing, which takes only 0.54 milliseconds."
"The availability and the easy to use feature is the most valuable. The documentation is also good."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its resiliency features and the geo-partitioning capabilities."
"The subset of SQL that my client is using is completely supported."
"It efficiently handles low-code data and supports read-and-write operations for clustering."
"Security is the most valuable feature."
"The solution is very fast."
"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 most valuable feature is that Database-In-Memory is more consistent and faster than traditional databases as it requires fewer CPUs to process instructions."
"We use the tool for real-time data transfer for risk management purposes. In a trading system, conversions happen fast. We use the product to handle fast transactions with low latency."
"The scalability of the solution is very good. It's able to support large amounts of data."
"The product offers high scalability."
"The initial setup and pricing could be improved."
"Cockroach does not support all types of protocols. I need to improve it myself to support a CouchDB on my network."
"We are looking for more features to support distributed high availability and geo-partitioning."
"The closer they can make CockroachDB to being completely compatible with Postgres, the better. It's almost compatible, but not completely. If it was, it would be nice to just be able to use Postgres libraries without any fiddling."
"The product must improve its disaster recovery features."
"The platform could be more extensible."
"I find the serverless offer a bit confusing."
"CockroachDB needs to improve store processes."
"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 is quite expensive."
"We use some partitions in In-Memory. We have a very large table and a low dose. It is very expensive in data to load all of them into In-Memory. It takes up more memory slots in the server, as well as a lot of RAM. We use last partitions on the table. We always need to create a script and make a schedule that can load a last partition in In-Memory. Oracle doesn't have features to do this automatically. I would like them to allow us to load last partitions, as well as other table partitions, in In-Memory. I think a good feature would do that automatically, letting you see a table, load a large partition, and monitor loading memory. It's quite a good feature."
"The high cost of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The product could be more economical."
"It would be good if Oracle could reduce downtime when transferring from non-In-Memory to In-Memory."
"They should lower the price. My customers think that it's too expensive."
"They should improve the solution's scalability for large databases."
