Product Owner at Heineken

Offers security and good performance

Price-wise, the tool is expensive, and I feel it is an area where improvements are needed. Oracle Database as a Service is not as popular as other tools because we use AWS and GCP. Oracle is okay in terms of performance for banking businesses and some big companies. As I use the tool in Heineken, I know Oracle is an okay security solution. We use and deploy some applications and features from Oracle that are better than what others offer. The data in the tool is actually stored in the production part, so it is always kept a secret. I don't think that AI has been integrated into the tool. The AI used by Oracle is not as strong as that used by AWS. I recommend the tool to others, especially banking, finance, and insurance companies where the security needs to be better. There is maintenance for the tool required, but I don't know which company does it for our organization. I rate the tool a ten out of ten.

Unmatched Performance and Scalability for Modern Applications

Redis has room for improvement in a few areas. Enhanced tools for managing and monitoring clusters would be beneficial, as would built-in security mechanisms like advanced encryption and granular access controls. Simplifying setup and configuration could make Redis more accessible to new users. Introducing more enterprise-grade features, such as better multi-tenancy support and improved backup and restore capabilities, would also be advantageous. For the next release, it would be great to see enhanced cluster management tools, native multi-region supports for better data redundancy, integrated analytics for deeper insights, AI and ML integration features, and improved developer experience through enhanced SDKs and tools.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I will rate this solution a nine out of ten. We have been using this solution for the past ten years. We will continue the partnership. I do not expect to see any further integration of the tool with our software. I will recommend this tool to those with a large database."

"I would rate customer service ten out of ten."

"The solution's technical support is good."

"The solution is very stable. It's very powerful."

"The most valuable features of Oracle Database as a Service are the power, security, and performance."

"Oracle Database as a Service is stable."

"The most valuable feature of Oracle Database as a Service is that it is managed by the vendor and you do not have to purchase on-premise hardware."

"What I found most valuable about Oracle Database as a Service is its fast transactions and materialized views."

More Oracle Database as a Service pros

"The performance of Redis is very fast."

"Redis provides an easy setup and operation process, allowing users to quickly connect and use it without hassle."

"The online interface is very fast and easy to use."

"I find Redis valuable primarily for its caching capabilities, particularly in handling cache requests effectively. Its simplicity in managing key-value pairs for caching is one of its strengths, making it a preferred choice over more complex databases like MongoDB for specific use cases. However, I haven't explored Redis extensively for managing complex data structures beyond caching, as MongoDB might be more suitable for such scenarios."

"It makes operations more efficient. The information processing is very fast, and very responsive. It's all about the technology."

"Redis is better tested and is used by large companies. I haven't found a direct alternative to what Redis offers. Plus, there are a lot of support and learning resources available, which help you use Redis efficiently."

"Redis is good for distributed caching management."

"The solution is fast, provides good performance, and is not too expensive."

More Redis pros

Cons

"An 8GB download for software is far too big. Nowadays it should be possible to simply use RPM packages on Linux/Unix."

"Documentation is difficult to find. Since we're experienced with Oracle technology, we have also found many errors in it. Not everything is 100% accurate."

"The price of the solution is an area of concern. From an improvement perspective, the price of the solution should be lowered."

"The installation process requires improvement as it can be quite complex."

"There is room for improvement in the speed of the data migration process."

"Improvement in Oracle DBaaS could focus on enhancing performance monitoring and reporting tools."

"It would be beneficial if Oracle could offer features similar to those provided by open-source platforms like Postgres, such as a multi-core-based platform and a shared node database. While Oracle offers these features, they come at a high cost for clientele in the South Asian market."

"I would like to see a better dashboard for the storage. It need to be more complete overall."

More Oracle Database as a Service cons

"The development of clusters could improve. Additionally, it would be helpful if it was integrated with Amazon AWS or Google Cloud."

"The initial setup of Redis was difficult, with a rating of two or three out of ten."

"There is room for AWS to provide more options for server types or a way to configure more or less memory for them."

"The tool should improve by increasing its size limits and handling dynamic data better. We use the client ID or associate it with a key for static content. The solution will not be easy for a beginner. Unless you understand SQL data, it will be difficult to understand and use Redis. It also needs to be user-friendly."

"It's actually quite expensive."

"For the PubSub feature, we had to create our own tools to monitor the events."

"Redis should have an option to operate without Docker on a local PC."

"There are some features from MongoDB that I would like to see included in Redis to enhance its overall efficiency, such as the ability to perform remote behaviour. MongoDB is more efficient in handling updates than deletions and is quicker in processing updates, but it can be slower regarding deletions. This can sometimes pose a challenge, especially when dealing with large datasets or frequent data manipulations that involve deletions. In such cases, I often rewrite columns or update values instead of directly deleting data, as it can be more efficient."

More Redis cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing is a nightmare. Tons of options which need to be licensed individually, and no real offering for VMware or other Hypervisors."

"This solution is costly because it saves a lot of data."

"If your organization is not making that much money, then I don't think you should use the enterprise or any other expensive versions of the solution. I recommend the tool for bigger companies."

"Oracle Database as a Service is an expensive product."

"In my opinion, it's not cheap, but every business can decide for itself."

"Customers need to pay extra costs for the solution based on their scope and business."

"What has been done is that an annual subscription model has been launched, which includes the payment of both the AML (Annual Maintenance Fee) and the subscription fee, paid on a yearly basis."

"The price of Oracle Database as a Service could be better."

More Oracle Database as a Service pricing and cost advice

"We saw an ROI. It made the processing of our transactions faster."

"Redis is an open-source product."

"The tool is open-source. There are no additional costs."

"Redis is not an overpriced solution."

"Redis is an open-source solution. There are not any hidden fees."
