Has good disaster recovery capabilities, but its stability should be improved
The solution's developer is Embarcadero Technologies, but they are not doing a good job. We had a lot of problems in the last few years with database crashes, and they couldn't reproduce it. The database is a little bit more stable today. It seems like the database was developed at night and deployed to many companies and people. Sometimes, it seems rare. Three database administrators are needed for the administration and maintenance of InterBase. You can encrypt the whole database, but it slows down the performance. We used the solution's change synchronization feature three years ago, but it also crashed a lot. If you were notified about a change, sometimes the database hangs up. It wasn't working anymore. They said they would fix it, but we chose to do it ourselves. We no longer trust these features because it costs us hundreds and thousands of dollars if our database is broken for some hours. It was easy to integrate InterBase with other products and third-party solutions. For developing software, that's one thing. If you want to use an ORM (Object Relational Mapping), many software supports Oracle, Microsoft SQL, and My SQL but do not support InterBase. So, that's a problem. I would not recommend the solution to other users. Overall, I rate the solution a six out of ten.
