We performed a comparison between Oracle Database In-Memory and Progress OpenEdge RDBMS based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about SAP, Oracle, Firebird and others in Embedded Database."The most valuable aspects of this solution are the fast caching and improved performance to the database"
"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."
"Security is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature is that Database-In-Memory is more consistent and faster than traditional databases as it requires fewer CPUs to process instructions."
"The scalability is very good."
"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."
"Oracle Database In-Memory is a suite of features that improves performance for real-time analytics and mixed workloads."
"The product offers high scalability."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The product can be scaled in any direction and a very nice feature is that you can logically split the database by the value of the data, which is great."
"They should lower the price. My customers think that it's too expensive."
"The pricing could be improved. It would ideal if it was more reasonable."
"We use some partitions in In-Memory. We have a very large table and a low dose. It is very expensive in data to load all of them into In-Memory. It takes up more memory slots in the server, as well as a lot of RAM. We use last partitions on the table. We always need to create a script and make a schedule that can load a last partition in In-Memory. Oracle doesn't have features to do this automatically. I would like them to allow us to load last partitions, as well as other table partitions, in In-Memory. I think a good feature would do that automatically, letting you see a table, load a large partition, and monitor loading memory. It's quite a good feature."
"I would like Oracle Database In-Memory to include a data replication feature."
"The product could be more economical."
"It would be good if Oracle could reduce downtime when transferring from non-In-Memory to In-Memory."
"The query optimization and backup features should be added."
"The solution is quite expensive."
"Advanced security would be a good additional feature."
"The only big hurdle for us is that most customers aren't familiar with it, so it's scary. If you're in commercial environments, everybody knows SQL, everybody knows Oracle, or whatever."
