"It supports in-house-built applications in .NET and VB6"
"For IoT business cases, having Informix Enterprise Edition work on edge computers, like Raspberry Pi and using Informix replication, makes complex situations simple to build and maintain."
"Replication, all levels of replication, query charting, and the MongoDB embedded are the most valuable features of this solution."
"IBM Informix benefits users with high availability and good integration capabilities."
"The most valuable feature is concurrency and locking because my customers usually use databases in OLTP mode. So, for a large number of competitive users. Other features that are well valued are quick large-scale data types. It is better than Oracle."
"Replication is a valuable feature and easy to use."
"So far, we do not have a lot of issues. It's pretty problem-free."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"The product is good for tuning."
"Oracle MySQL Cloud Service is easy to use and implement."
"It is very easy to start working with the product."
"The most valuable feature is the data aggregation function."
"The stability of the solution is very good. I wouldn't have used it for the past seven years if I was not satisfied."
"The solution's performance is good."
"The solution overall is very, very good. It's got good integration with other databases and adds new features often."
"Continue extending the SQL language for compatibility with the competition's language, including Stored Procedure Language."
"The solution really doesn't add new features very often."
"The solution lacks some functionality."
"The support team could include local engineers to establish efficient communication. It will help us speed up the escalation process."
"This product could be made easier to use for beginners."
"I really would love to have a QT plugin."
"The pricing is a bit expensive."
"In my opinion, the packages could be improved. The version I use doesn't allow for packages. I can do some general procedures, but no packages like in Oracle. So, develop separate modules in SQL language. This would be most beneficial for me."
"There could be more courses where the people could learn more easily how to use the tool."
"Integrating business intelligence or NLP solutions would help us save time and would prevent us from having to take a deep dive. Data problems seem to multiply on the system when you interact with it. Automation would save a lot of man-hours."
"They could include more advanced features like clustering and replication in the Oracle databases."
"The support is not that great. They're not really supporting directly anymore and relying on experts to figure out technical issues."
"The user interface is not simple."
"The tool’s stability must be improved."
"Improvement could be made in the workflow, particularly when it comes to making changes or implementing certain functions."
