Hosney Osman - PeerSpot reviewer
Technical Solution Architect at Vodafone
Real-time analytics have transformed response times and support huge data volumes with compression
I do not have any comment related to the improvement of the solution; for sure, it needs improvement, but for my use cases, it is very sufficient, and I think for the biggest companies, it needs a very powerful infrastructure. The area where improvement is required the most in the product is the UI. The problem with the UI is that it is not complex for understanding, but it needs some training to know what each button does, how it works, and the many variables needed.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Oracle Database In-Memory is a suite of features that improves performance for real-time analytics and mixed workloads."
"We can provide a high standard with this solution to our customers by using such products."
"Performance is probably the number one feature, because when we use it for OLTP, the response for the end-user is pretty fast, with website response times in micro milliseconds instead of waiting a few seconds for a page to load."
"The most valuable aspects of this solution are the fast caching and improved performance to the database."
"We find the dashboard and the speed of data processing very valuable in Oracle Database In-Memory."
"We can integrate it with any data sources as well."
"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."
"It accelerates query processing, which in turn speeds up operations and streamlines workflow, and ultimately enhancing productivity."
"Tibero is a relational database management system, which supports disaster recovery, active cluster, active storage, etc."
"The most valuable feature is compatibility with the Oracle database."
"A huge benefit of Tibero is its licensing costs are low."
"Tibero has the mission to deliver reliable performance with a lower ownership cost."
"Migration from Oracle to Tibero is very easy and it took us about ten minutes."
"Tibero is very easy to setup and maintain."
"It is incredibly fast, much faster than Oracle in terms of compiling and processing speeds, very reliable and secure, never crashes or gets overloaded, the true data never gets falsified or corrupted, it is very easy to port your projects over, and it is considerably cheaper than any other software on the market."
"Tibero uses Hyper-Threading architecture, which is incredibly fast."
 

Cons

"Additionally, once we put data into Oracle, it's very hard to move it out to another solution, so we have to stay with Oracle."
"Technical support is useful with the My Oracle Support website. But when I have to open a service request, I have to find a solution on my own because technical support usually doesn't understand my problem or they always ask for the same logs, same questions, and I ultimately waste my time."
""It depends". If you get a good support engineer, it is a dream. But, most times, it is not, unfortunately."
"Oracle Database In-Memory appliance-based solutions can be restrictive for some applications, as they may require more flexibility in the database design to be tuned and sized to the customer's needs."
"Oracle Database In-Memory is more expensive than Azure, and the support from the Oracle team is not very good, especially since they do not have a support team in our region."
"The solution should move to the new way of writing software code with AI that is intelligent and learns."
"For some reason, the stats optimizer doesn't work well. We had to disable some of the Oracle’s new features that are not quite mature."
"Multitenant, to be honest, is a little adolescent at this point."
"Manual installation is a bit tricky, but one can get used to it."
"In PL/SQL code, there is a scope of improvement. We expect more PL/SQL packages should be included in the next release."
"There could be more user friendly FAQs online and included in the software."
"The knowledge base is quite small and should be expanded."
