​No other solution came close to this product's speed and tech support is on a really high level
If you need local DB cache with extreme speed, then go for it, if you need something to work as a distributed cloud database, then solidDB would not be the right decision. With our Telco experience, we help with suggestions for new features and improvements of existing ones for new versions of solidDB. Also, in our labs, we do some pre-alpha testing to help them to complete some new features in the right way.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Memory cache DB and carrier grade high availability, best fit to Telco demands."
"Maintaining databases is a valuable feature for us."
"Oracle is a more automated database."
"The stability of Oracle Multitenant is excellent, and I would rate it a nine out of ten."
"Oracle Multitenant reduces operational costs because it licenses the root container for multiple databases, costing less than traditional non-CDB databases, which results in financial savings for the company."
"The most valuable features are the speed and ease of use."
"It is quite stable. We have not faced any kind of instability in the database."
"There are only benefits to using this solution."
"I would rate the scalability a ten out of ten. Our clients are mostly medium and enterprise businesses."
 

Cons

"Data replication and data distribution between multiple nodes definitely have room for improvement here."
"From the scope of improvement, I would say that people are adopting new query options. Certain databases like MongoDB adopt new query options so that they can just pull the data."
"There is room for improvement in customer service and support."
"Even though we say Unplug Plug Upgrade is a very good feature and it does work, we are seeing that sometimes it takes longer than what we expect for larger databases."
"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."
"The only issue is that shared files for the main container affect all container databases if something happens to them."
"The user interface for this solution can be made better."
"Oracle has a lot of work to do with Multitenant because it's a new feature."
"There are many functions where changes are not easy to implement, and we try to avoid modifying these areas due to security issues and the complexity of maintaining them."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"This solution is a little bit pricey."
"The price is worth the quality."
