Executive SummaryUpdated on Mar 4, 2025

Infobright DB and Oracle Multitenant compete in the database management space. Oracle Multitenant has the upper hand due to its advanced features and scalability, which justify its higher pricing. In contrast, Infobright DB is cost-effective and offers excellent support.

Features: Infobright DB is noted for its advanced compression, auto-tuning capabilities, and efficient handling of analytical workloads. Oracle Multitenant supports multiple pluggable databases within a single container, enables dynamic resource reallocation, and offers robust cloning capabilities for database management.

Room for Improvement: Infobright DB could benefit from enhanced ad hoc aggregation query performance, faster loading speeds, and improved ease of use. Oracle Multitenant might improve its complexity in deployment, require less storage for certain operations, and streamline resource management further for smaller environments.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Infobright DB is praised for its simpler deployment process and responsive customer service. Oracle Multitenant, while complex to deploy due to its comprehensive feature set, offers extensive support options that are beneficial for large-scale, complex environments.

Pricing and ROI: Infobright DB offers a lower initial setup cost and is ideal for small to mid-sized businesses focused on analytics, providing favorable ROI.

If you need a real big data solution, look for a distributed solution that actually has a proven track record.

This version of Infobright has zero support for distributed scalability. The internal smart grid employed for each table has a major flaw in that the data size cannot be expunged until 2GB of data is reached at the column-level. This is a major flaw, making usage in a big-data scenario impossible. This means that you can delete as many records from a database table as you want. However, unless the 2GB aggregate size threshold was reached for some of the columns in the table, no reduction in disk space usage will occur. Only the data from the columns that reached 2GB will actually decrease. Other columns below 2GB in size do not leave the disk. I spent countless hours trying to find some workaround for this. I have nightmares of my e-mail inbox full of unsolvable questions about data size reduction from our field engineers.

Databases are automatically upgraded and cloning of pluggable databases requires just one command

Multitenant has a container database with many pluggable databases. A great feature is that you can upgrade the container to a more recent version and all the pluggable databases are automatically upgraded to that version. Previously it would have required an upgrade for each database. The second great feature is the clone which enables you to get the clone of pluggable databases with one command, as opposed to copying data from one place to another.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It has very amazing smart grid query feature for very fast aggregate queries across millions of rows"

"Our primary use of Oracle includes writing queries for retrieving data for customers without worrying about the customer ID, user ID, as it is automatically connected to each query."

"The best thing about Oracle Multitenant is its ability to consolidate multiple databases into one engine."

"The most valuable features are the speed and ease of use."

"The stability of Oracle Multitenant is excellent, and I would rate it a nine out of ten."

"It's easy to use and works great."

"It is quite stable. We have not faced any kind of instability in the database."

"The database becomes pluggable. Inside this container is called a pluggable database and each application contains this pluggable database inside Multitenant. We can then share resources like control files, memory, etc. This lets you stop and start each application without impacting the others. This resource sharing is the most valuable feature"

"Maintaining databases is a valuable feature for us."

Cons

"Only the data from the columns that reached 2GB will actually decrease. Other columns below 2GB in size do not leave the disk."

"The user interface for this solution can be made better."

"From the scope of improvement, I would say that people are adopting new query options. Certain databases like MongoDB adopt new query options so that they can just pull the data."

"Oracle license pricing is an issue due to its high cost. Our organization is compelled to reduce CPU usage by seventy CPUs because the Oracle license cost depends on it."

"There is room for improvement in customer service and support."

"That said, Oracle in general doesn't invest in their UI for any of their applications. If we're talking about the dashboard or other user experience, there is room for improvement. I'm talking about on premises. The cloud version has started to improve."

"The solution lacks a GUI for commands."

"It can be complicated to scale up the solution, but it's scalable."

"Technical support could be faster."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our pricing was based on server instances and it was actually very cheap compared to Oracle. I guess you get what you pay for."

"This solution is a little bit pricey."

"For me, I will go with it if I have the budget. Some features are nicer than before, but at the end of the day, you always have a limited budget. I prefer to upgrade and get a specific hardware when possible. At the end, you will have to make a compromise. You will not get everything you would have liked to have."

"The price is worth the quality."
