I am a freelancer. A client of mine wanted a solution that would allow them to scale yet not abandon the familiar PostgreSQL front-end (and rewrite a part of their source code). Scalability aside, CockroachDB is a fine way forward from PostgreSQL and is not changing the client source code part of the system. If you are lucky and you do not use newer features from recent versions of PostgreSQL or PostgreSQL extensions, it's fine. There are nice-to-have features for big organizations like regional tables. At the moment, my client simply does not use these. However, the serverless offer from CockroachDB is reacting well as data grows.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I use CockroachDB to test big data samples and to create the best structure for databases. We have four users and required 10 people for deployment and maintenance."

"The most valuable features of the solution are its resiliency features and the geo-partitioning capabilities."

"The initial setup and deployment are simple."

"The product has valuable security features."

"The subset of SQL that my client is using is completely supported."

"What I like best is its ability to solve data residency issues. The main advantage is auto geo partitioning, built into the product. This means we don't have to spin up separate servers in each region, which would be much more costly."

"The availability and the easy to use feature is the most valuable. The documentation is also good."

"CockroachDB is highly reliable."

More CockroachDB pros

"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."

"The on-premise version is stable. We have different teams and resources for the server side, for admin, and for development. We can easily take care of all the services and applications."

"I like Oracle because it is a backward-compatible solution."

"It efficiently handles low-code data and supports read-and-write operations for clustering."

"The solution's most valuable feature is its performance optimization within our hardware environment."

"The scalability is very good."

"The most valuable aspects of this solution are the fast caching and improved performance to the database"

Cons

"I think the engine itself could be improved. If you miss a partition key, it should be able to be modeled. This is where AI could be really helpful. For example, if a user is from Australia, the system should know to look for their data there first instead of searching in the US or another continent."

"Cockroach does not support all types of protocols. I need to improve it myself to support a CouchDB on my network."

"CockroachDB needs to improve store processes."

"I find the serverless offer a bit confusing."

"We are looking for more features to support distributed high availability and geo-partitioning."

"I would like CockroachDB to have more compatibility with PostgreSQL, especially with the connection string and technical integrations."

"The platform could be more extensible."

"The initial setup and pricing could be improved."

More CockroachDB cons

"The high cost of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."

"The pricing could be improved. It would ideal if it was more reasonable."

"They should lower the price. My customers think that it's too expensive."

"Lacks sufficient integration with other tools."

"The query optimization and backup features should be added."

"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."

"Oracle should include column store or advanced query optimization so a database can be optimized by enabling analytic queries to run faster."

"The product could benefit from enhancements in its graphical user interface."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The platform is affordable even for the enterprise version. It provides value for investment in terms of performance."

"The pricing is good but can be made cheaper. I would rate the pricing a five out of ten."

"I've used CockroachDB at a small scale on the free accounts because we are only testing."

"The solution's pricing is not cheap. However, the good thing is that customers are willing to pay for it if they want it."

"The product's price depends on the user's company and the contract model they enter into with CockroachDB. Depending on the contract model one enters into with CockroachDB, the product may or may not be expensive."

"Oracle Database In-Memory is expensive."

"The pricing is pretty good so I rate it an eight out of ten."

"It's quite costly and it comes with a fixed price."

"The platform's licensing cost needs improvement."

"Database In-Memory is priced a bit higher than its competitors like Microsoft."

"I rate the pricing a zero out of ten because Database In-Memory is too costly."

"The solution's pricing is high."

"There is a need to make a yearly payment towards the licensing costs, after which there is any to pay towards the support cost attached to the solution."
