Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Security is the most valuable feature.""The solution's ROI is excellent.""We can integrate it with any data sources as well.""Oracle Database In-Memory is a suite of features that improves performance for real-time analytics and mixed workloads.""The product offers high scalability.""It efficiently handles low-code data and supports read-and-write operations for clustering.""The solution is very fast.""The most valuable aspects of this solution are the fast caching and improved performance to the database"

More Oracle Database In-Memory Pros →

"The paramount advantage is the exceptional speed.""MemSQL supports the MySQL protocol, and many functions are similar, so the learning curve is very short.""The ability to store data in memory is a standout feature, enhanced by robust failover mechanisms.""It's a distributed relational database, so it does not have a single server, it has multiple servers. Its architecture itself is fast because it has multiple nodes to distribute the workload and process large amounts of data.""The product can automatically reinstall and reconfigure in case of a shutdown.""The most valuable feature is the ability to create pipelines, streamline and extract data from the pipelines.""The product's initial setup phase was pretty straightforward, with no complex processes."

Cons
"Technical support is below our expectations currently. It could be improved.""It would be good if Oracle could reduce downtime when transferring from non-In-Memory to In-Memory.""They should improve the solution's scalability for large databases.""The solution should move to the new way of writing software code with AI that is intelligent and learns.""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.""They should lower the price. My customers think that it's too expensive.""Lacks sufficient integration with other tools."

More Oracle Database In-Memory Cons →

"Poor key distribution can significantly impact performance, requiring a backward approach in design rather than adding tables incrementally.""We don't get good discounts in Pakistan.""There should be more pipelines available because I think that if MemSQL can connect to other services, that would be great.""Having the ability to migrate servers using a single command would be extremely beneficial.""For new customers, it's very tough to start. Their documentation isn't organized, and there's no online training available. SingleStore is working on it, but that's a major drawback.""The product can be developed further to provide more appropriate output to users as it is one of the areas where there are shortcomings.""It is not the optimal choice for direct data collection through queries, and it's more suited for aggregation tasks."
