MySQL DBA at a financial services firm with 51-200 employees
Excellent reporting server that is compatible with MySQL
We ran into some quirks that Infobright had. We interacted with Infobright's support and were able to resolve them. There still are issues with data replication - Infobright is currently for one server (unless you buy the Infobright appliance). This would mean that redundancy is something you need to implement yourself.

Provides self-repair features, but the setup is complex
We use the product for online applications. We use it in the financial industry The product has self-repair features. The tool tunes itself. It separates compute from storage. We can scale storage and compute separately. The setup is complex. Oracle is a complex tool. I have been using Oracle…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"ICE helped us improve the speed for the “group-by” query by 10x."
"It has very amazing smart grid query feature for very fast aggregate queries across millions of rows"
"A valuable feature was the use of a columnar database for large, ever-growing, big datasets."
"The high compression and the relatively fast load for a free product."
"Infobright allowed us to reduce the number of moving parts and complexity that we had while providing good performance to produce our reports."
"The performance of ad hoc aggregation queries is superior to any RDBMS that I have used and I have used them all."
"We now have multiple times faster queries in comparison to MS SQL."
"Infobright gave us the ability to avoid significant changes in our data structure and just use Infobright like BigDataMySql."
"I loved the simplicity of loading the data and simply relying on the self-tuning capabilities of ADW."
"The analytics have been very good. We've found them to be quite useful."
"It provides Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) capabilities by default to address data security issues."
"The integration feature is very good because you can automate protection security automatically, restricting the access of unauthorized people."
"One advantage is that if you already have an Oracle Database, it easily integrates with that."
"I like the fact that the solution is self-patching, that it's running machine-learning generally across its logs all the time in order to identify any issues and to self-repair."
"I really like the auto-tuning, auto-scaling, and the automatic load balancing and query tuning in the system."
"The analytics have been very good; we've found them to be quite useful."
 

Cons

"There still are issues with data replication - Infobright is currently for one server (unless you buy the Infobright appliance)."
"On the contrary, we have switched back to the MS SSAS Tabular Model, because of pricing policy."
"There was no scalability at all. Infobright didn't permit any changes in tables."
"MPP, distributed processing!!! And better integration with Hadoop."
"After all the re-work to our product to remove as much reliance on Infobright, and the extra hardware costs we had to absorb, there was definitely a negative return on investment."
"When running a complex subquery, the system hangs without giving the user any response."
"Only the data from the columns that reached 2GB will actually decrease. Other columns below 2GB in size do not leave the disk."
"We didn’t purchase the Enterprise Edition because it was too expensive for a product that wasn’t going to replace our main DWH database (Oracle), but was, somehow, only an addition for it."
"I would like to see Application Express and Oracle R Enterprise fully supported, and I would like to see Oracle Data Mining supported as a front end."
"It doesn't work well when you have unstructured data or you need online analytics. It is not as nice as Hadoop in these aspects."
"The initial setup was pretty complex. It was not easy."
"The solution could be improved by allowing for migration tools from other cloud services, including migration from Amazon Redshift, RDS, and Aurora."
"Sometimes the solution works differently between the cloud and on-premises. It needs to be more consistent and predictable."
"The solution lacks visibility options."
"The initial setup was pretty complex. It was not easy."
"They should make the solution more user-friendly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our pricing was based on server instances and it was actually very cheap compared to Oracle. I guess you get what you pay for."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is a low price and ten is a high price, I rate the pricing an eight."
"Cloud solutions are cheaper, but in the long run, they may not be much cheaper. They certainly have a lower initial cost. The licensing is yearly, and it is based on the size of the hardware and the number of users."
"You pay as you go, and you don't pay for services that you don't use."
"Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse's pricing is fair and reasonable compared to the other cloud vendors."
"The solution is expensive."
"The licensing cost of the product can vary since you can integrate it very easily with other products or other cloud products...You pay as you use it, so it is not yearly or monthly payments to be made toward Oracle."
"The price depends on the configuration we choose."
"The solution's cost is reasonable."
