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.
Laksiri Bala - PeerSpot reviewer
Faster processing and improved memory operations have enhanced transaction and analytics efficiency
The valuable features of Oracle Database In-Memory include its capability to bypass disk storage for faster memory operations, which is critical for transactions and analytics. It also offers specific memory areas, like in-memory cache, that act as intermediaries between disk and buffer cache. This feature helps organizations handle real-time memory requirements effectively.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It has very amazing smart grid query feature for very fast aggregate queries across millions of rows"
"It efficiently handles low-code data and supports read-and-write operations for clustering."
"The most valuable aspects of this solution are the fast caching and improved performance to the database"
"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."
"I find the performance features of Oracle Database In-Memory to be most beneficial."
"The product offers high scalability."
"We find the dashboard and the speed of data processing very valuable in Oracle Database In-Memory."
"The valuable features of Oracle Database In-Memory include its capability to bypass disk storage for faster memory operations, which is critical for transactions and analytics."
"The application development is very user-friendly."
 

Cons

"Only the data from the columns that reached 2GB will actually decrease. Other columns below 2GB in size do not leave the disk."
"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."
"They should lower the price. My customers think that it's too expensive."
"The pricing could be improved. It would ideal if it was more reasonable."
"It would be good if Oracle could reduce downtime when transferring from non-In-Memory to In-Memory."
"Oracle Database In-Memory is more expensive than Azure, and the support from the Oracle team is not very good, especially since they do not have a support team in our region."
"The solution should move to the new way of writing software code with AI that is intelligent and learns."
"The product could benefit from enhancements in its graphical user interface."
"They should improve the solution's scalability for large databases."
 

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."
"It's quite costly and it comes with a fixed price."
"There is a need to make a yearly payment towards the licensing costs, after which there is any to pay towards the support cost attached to the solution."
"The platform's licensing cost needs improvement."
"The solution's pricing is high."
"Database In-Memory is priced a bit higher than its competitors like Microsoft."
"The pricing is pretty good so I rate it an eight out of ten."
"Oracle Database In-Memory is expensive."
"I rate the pricing a zero out of ten because Database In-Memory is too costly."
