We performed a comparison between Oracle Database In-Memory and SQL Server based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Relational Databases Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The scalability is very good."
"Oracle Database In-Memory is a suite of features that improves performance for real-time analytics and mixed workloads."
"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."
"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."
"The solution's ROI is excellent."
"The application development is very user-friendly."
"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."
"I like Oracle because it is a backward-compatible solution."
"If you need to, you can scale the solution very easily."
"SQL Server is essentially the backbone of every microservice. From a developer's perspective, it is the backbone of all microservices. The tool enables data retrieval, set data, and essential operations, ensuring the smooth functioning of applications. In essence, it is the integral part that keeps applications operational."
"We have found there are many useful features such as the solution is continually being upgraded, ETL capabilities for extracting and transformation, and it is very easy to use."
"We are using the net for our environment. We're using the ADF Azure data factory for our analysis services, and it is pretty good."
"The documentation and manuals are very good."
"Comparing with other database management systems that I tried in other companies, SQL Server is quite easy to install, configure, and maintain."
"The solution has proven to be very stable."
"We have found the solution valuable because we are able to easily create a query, shrink, backup, and make new tables."
"Technical support is below our expectations currently. It could be improved."
"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 solution should move to the new way of writing software code with AI that is intelligent and learns."
"Oracle should include column store or advanced query optimization so a database can be optimized by enabling analytic queries to run faster."
"The query optimization and backup features should be added."
"Lacks sufficient integration with other tools."
"The high cost of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Their datatypes need improvement."
"The installation process should be simplified."
"The agility of the non-SQL-based features is relevant on the market."
"SQL Server could improve by enhancing the integration abilities, adding more inbuilt data security features, and simplifying the maintenance."
"Technical support could be faster."
"There should be more tools and documentation for tuning the performance of Microsoft SQL Server. It would be nice to have more tools for tuning because currently, all the tuning that we have to do with our databases is almost manual. We have to read a bunch of knowledge base articles, and this information should be better documented. Its free text search should also be improved. It is quite important for us. Currently, we're developing our own free text search because of the lacking flexibility in Microsoft SQL Server. Therefore, we're kind of using elastic search and making different implementations in order to reach our targets. Using just the native free text search of Microsoft SQL Server is not enough for us. It should have more flexible features as compared to the current version."
"It would be nice if they can reduce its price."
"Query optimitzer could be simplified."
