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

"We value the single data run that the solution provides."

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

"The product's implementation was pretty straightforward."

"Oracle Database as a Service's most valuable feature is its financial applications."

"I like the solution's performance and ease of development."

"As a database administrator, it has a lot of features to help you manage the database and the backup."

"The most valuable feature of Oracle Database as a Service is the stopwatch."

"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."

More Oracle Database as a Service pros

"I use Redis mostly to cache repeated data that is required."

"What I like best about Redis is its fast and easy use. It has interesting algorithms like HyperLogLog and provides useful features. It's also good for implementing scalable rate limiting."

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

"It is particularly efficient for cloud-based storage and operations."

"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."

"The performance of Redis is very fast."

"Redis has multiple valuable features such as being a free and reliable open-source tool."

"Redis is good for distributed caching management."

More Redis pros

Cons

"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."

"The solution can be improved by reducing the pricing, making the deployment less complex, and increasing security."

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

"I would like to improve the stability of the Oracle database."

"Oracle Database as a Service could improve the provisioning. You have to recreate on-premise hardware environments in the cloud, it was not very intuitive."

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

"Oracle Database as a Service could improve by having ETL for larger data."

"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."

More Oracle Database as a Service cons

"Redis could be improved by introducing a GUI to display key-value pair database information, as it is currently a CLI tool with no visual representation."

"I would prefer it if there was more information available about Redis. That would make it easier for new beginners. Currently, there is a lack of resources."

"There is a lack of documentation on the scalability of the solution."

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

"The only thing is the lack of a GUI application. There was a time when we needed to resolve an issue in production. If we had a GUI, it would have been easier."

"If we use a lot of data, it will eventually cost us a lot."

"In future releases, I would like Redis to provide its users with an option like schema validation. Currently, the solution lacks to offer such functionality."

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

More Redis cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution depends on the scale of how you will use it."

"The solution is quite expensive but worth the money."

"For on-premises, a perpetual license is a standard $17,500 plus 22% for one year of support."

"Oracle Database as a Service's pricing is good."

"Oracle Database is less expensive than the previous solution we used."

"The price depends on the solution you choose: standard, enterprise, or high performance. For example, enterprise can start between 0.4 an hour up to 1,800. Additional fees also depends on what package you choose. Your feels will be different if you choose the standard, enterprise, high performance, or extreme package. You will pay in relation to what option you ask for. The price is very good if you compare it to other databases."

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

"Oracle Database as a Service has a yearly licensing fee, which is expensive."

More Oracle Database as a Service pricing and cost advice
