Technical support is okay, but it has issues with stability and performance
We have our own data center with a lot of servers running on the Linux platform This platform has issues with stability and performance. I have been using Oracle Coherence for only a couple of years. In total, I have about 30 years of experience in the Oracle environment. I began with Oracle…

Performs much better than traditional databases, integrates well and lot of learning resources available
It improved the performance. For example, data structures like hashmaps in Redis make it a very fast database – much faster than traditional SQL databases. It can perform at significantly higher speeds. Latencies are very low. Our primary focus wasn't on saving money but on improving performance for that specific feature. So, performance has been the key improvement. Every calculation happened in real time. It improved the performance 10X. In our company, we have limited resources, so we can't manage the database ourselves. We use services from Azure for that. So, Redis integrates well with those services. We use Azure Cache for Redis.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Technical support from Oracle is okay."
"The in-memory data makes it fast."
"Redis is a simple, powerful, and fast solution."
"The solution is fast, provides good performance, and is not too expensive."
"The online interface is very fast and easy to use."
"The product offers fast access to my database."
"I find Redis valuable primarily for its caching capabilities, particularly in handling cache requests effectively. Its simplicity in managing key-value pairs for caching is one of its strengths, making it a preferred choice over more complex databases like MongoDB for specific use cases. However, I haven't explored Redis extensively for managing complex data structures beyond caching, as MongoDB might be more suitable for such scenarios."
"What I like best about Redis is its fast and easy use. It has interesting algorithms like HyperLogLog and provides useful features. It's also good for implementing scalable rate limiting."
"The best thing about Redis is its ability to handle large amounts of data without frequently hitting the database. You can store data in temporary memory, especially for high-volume data."
 

Cons

"This platform has issues with stability and performance."
"There is a lack of documentation on the scalability of the solution."
"It's actually quite expensive."
"Redis presents a single point of failure and lacks fault tolerance."
"Redis should have an option to operate without Docker on a local PC."
"The development of clusters could improve. Additionally, it would be helpful if it was integrated with Amazon AWS or Google Cloud."
"There are some features from MongoDB that I would like to see included in Redis to enhance its overall efficiency, such as the ability to perform remote behaviour. MongoDB is more efficient in handling updates than deletions and is quicker in processing updates, but it can be slower regarding deletions. This can sometimes pose a challenge, especially when dealing with large datasets or frequent data manipulations that involve deletions. In such cases, I often rewrite columns or update values instead of directly deleting data, as it can be more efficient."
"Redis could improve its efficiency in handling locally stored data, not just Amazon Cloud or Google Cloud."
"In future releases, I would like Redis to provide its users with an option like schema validation. Currently, the solution lacks to offer such functionality."
