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.

Rapid deployment has simplified backend work and supports independent database management
We did not use the replication or inbuilt replication from Oracle Java DB. We have separate core functions to replicate the database and migrate the database. We are not using the inbuilt encryption of Oracle Java DB. We are using encryptions such as AES. We are currently using these to encrypt the sensitive data. We encrypt not only passwords but mostly all the data.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is very straightforward and easy to work with."
"Infobright allowed us to reduce the number of moving parts and complexity that we had while providing good performance to produce our reports."
"We now have multiple times faster queries in comparison to MS SQL."
"A valuable feature was the use of a columnar database for large, ever-growing, big datasets."
"Infobright gave us the ability to avoid significant changes in our data structure and just use Infobright like BigDataMySql."
"The performance of ad hoc aggregation queries is superior to any RDBMS that I have used and I have used them all."
"The high compression and the relatively fast load for a free product."
"It has very amazing smart grid query feature for very fast aggregate queries across millions of rows"
"The most valuable feature is automation."
"The valuable features include connecting to the database and retrieving data."
"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."
"The additional value of having Java inside the Oracle database is all the security that is applied to an Oracle database will be enforced on Java's stored procedures as well."
"The solution is stable."
"Running queries is the solution's most valuable feature."
"This is a fairly stable language, and it's been in the market for several years."
"The solution's capability to handle large data sets, large volumes and indexing are the most valuable features."
 

Cons

"MPP, distributed processing!!! And better integration with Hadoop."
"Only the data from the columns that reached 2GB will actually decrease. Other columns below 2GB in size do not leave the disk."
"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."
"On the contrary, we have switched back to the MS SSAS Tabular Model, because of pricing policy."
"When running a complex subquery, the system hangs without giving the user any response."
"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."
"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."
"The solution should continue to keep updating and improving the Java language."
"It'll be better if Oracle Java supports open source technologies, like Node.js."
"Needs improvement in consistency issues with respect to timeframes."
"With respect to the product's consistency, there's a lot of scope that could be introduced in regulator basis."
"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."
"The tool might be integrated, but we see performance issues because of overhead."
"The solution could be 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."
"Oracle Java DB is a pricey solution."
"The product's pricing is very friendly, with no extra costs after the licensing fees."
