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.

Senior Consultant at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Able to process all the reporting and processing in the database itself
We have been upgrading and moving to new environments. I was involved in the solution's initial setup. Some things in the setup are very smooth sailing. However, some setups become complicated because what they set up doesn't meet your needs. So, some tweaking is necessary in certain instances. Having a good understanding of the tool really helps. Oracle Java DB is easy to deploy if it's a new setup. Migrating from an old environment to a new environment takes time because you need the old functionality. A first-time deployment of the application is easy. We just did a default setup and started using it. When we have to migrate, there is too much baggage behind that application, especially from the security point of view.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We now have multiple times faster queries in comparison to MS SQL."
"ICE helped us improve the speed for the “group-by” query by 10x."
"Infobright gave us the ability to avoid significant changes in our data structure and just use Infobright like BigDataMySql."
"It is very straightforward and easy to work with."
"It has very amazing smart grid query feature for very fast aggregate queries across millions of rows"
"The performance of ad hoc aggregation queries is superior to any RDBMS that I have used and I have used them all."
"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."
"It's very clever."
"Using this product will lead to a reduction in operational costs."
"Able to write queries more efficiently and the management of data has become better and easier."
"The stability is awesome because it is all supported by Oracle database and Oracle relational database management system, which watches very carefully all the processes that are running, making it very stable and very secure."
"Our ROI has been a 600% growth in stock price, one of the biggest increase rates for any of the global top 50 companies."
"The database is quite robust in terms of performance from the SQL side."
"The solution's capability to handle large data sets, large volumes and indexing are the most valuable features."
"There have been no issues in relation to stability. We've never really had do to any recoveries. It is very stable."
 

Cons

"There still are issues with data replication - Infobright is currently for one server (unless you buy the Infobright appliance)."
"There was no scalability at all. Infobright didn't permit any changes in tables."
"MPP, distributed processing!!! And better integration with Hadoop."
"When running a complex subquery, the system hangs without giving the user any response."
"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."
"On the contrary, we have switched back to the MS SSAS Tabular Model, because of pricing policy."
"Only the data from the columns that reached 2GB will actually decrease. Other columns below 2GB in size do not leave the disk."
"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."
"The solution should continue to keep updating and improving the Java language."
"The solution could be more user-friendly."
"The solution should continue to keep updating and improving the Java language."
"Oracle can improve by providing more connection string variations and relay servers on the path to the database."
"The biggest lesson that I have learned from using Oracle products is vendor lock-in."
"In terms of improvement, I'd like an automation tool that is lower priced. The core prices are very high."
"It'll be better if Oracle Java supports open source technologies, like Node.js."
"The biggest lesson that I have learned from using Oracle products is vendor lock-in."
 

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."
"The product's pricing is very friendly, with no extra costs after the licensing fees."
"Oracle Java DB is a pricey solution."
