Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Technical support from Oracle is okay."
"Coherence is beneficial due to its multi-indexing to the same object and filtering based on data attributes within the object, followed by aggregation."
"Simple and straightforward admin portals: Made it easy for users and worked out excellently for our requirements"
