Highly efficient data processing, optimizes infrastructure, and offers good integrations
We use the concept of a feature store. We need the engine, and we use Feast as our feature store framework to build our feature store.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"DuckDB is very fast."
"We find the dashboard and the speed of data processing very valuable in Oracle Database In-Memory."
"The most valuable aspects of this solution are the fast caching and improved performance to the database"
"The solution's ROI is excellent."
"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 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 of the solution is very good. It's able to support large amounts of data."
"Oracle Database In-Memory is a suite of features that improves performance for real-time analytics and mixed workloads."
"The product offers high scalability."
 

Cons

"Sometimes we have memory issues that cause job failures, which we don't fully understand why, but we can rerun the jobs without problems."
"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."
"The platform’s pricing needs improvement."
"The product could be more economical."
"They should lower the price. My customers think that it's too expensive."
"I would like Oracle Database In-Memory to include a data replication feature."
"Oracle should include column store or advanced query optimization so a database can be optimized by enabling analytic queries to run faster."
"We often have to find solutions on our own through the support site, so there's room for improvement in this regard."
"They should improve the solution's scalability for large databases."
