"I like Oracle because it is a backward-compatible solution.""Security is the most valuable feature.""We use the tool for real-time data transfer for risk management purposes. In a trading system, conversions happen fast. We use the product to handle fast transactions with low latency.""The application development is very user-friendly.""The most valuable aspects of this solution are the fast caching and improved performance to the database""It accelerates query processing, which in turn speeds up operations and streamlines workflow, and ultimately enhancing productivity.""The scalability is very good.""Normally, every database server uses hard disks. In-Memory has a feature, apart from their database, which is very good. When we start our server, all your data needs loading memory. We can use that. It's a very good feature. I think they added this feature in 2019. We can mount memory in the partition, create partitions in there, and create table space from that spot to share. It's a really good feature. We use it a lot."

Cons
"The internal connection features of LocalDB could improve.""The initial setup is complex and requires a skilled person.""The ALM features can be improved, but the database by itself is reliable.""The solution needs to create a management tool. Right now, the solution has tools for creating a local installation, but it's too simplistic. We need something that's a bit more complex so that we can extend the tools with our scripts."

"The high cost of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required.""The pricing could be improved. It would ideal if it was more reasonable.""We often have to find solutions on our own through the support site, so there's room for improvement in this regard.""It would be good if Oracle could reduce downtime when transferring from non-In-Memory to In-Memory.""The solution should move to the new way of writing software code with AI that is intelligent and learns.""The product could be more economical.""Oracle Database In-Memory appliance-based solutions can be restrictive for some applications, as they may require more flexibility in the database design to be tuned and sized to the customer's needs.""They should lower the price. My customers think that it's too expensive."
