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…

Unmatched Performance and Scalability for Modern Applications
Redis has room for improvement in a few areas. Enhanced tools for managing and monitoring clusters would be beneficial, as would built-in security mechanisms like advanced encryption and granular access controls. Simplifying setup and configuration could make Redis more accessible to new users. Introducing more enterprise-grade features, such as better multi-tenancy support and improved backup and restore capabilities, would also be advantageous. For the next release, it would be great to see enhanced cluster management tools, native multi-region supports for better data redundancy, integrated analytics for deeper insights, AI and ML integration features, and improved developer experience through enhanced SDKs and tools.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Coherence is beneficial due to its multi-indexing to the same object and filtering based on data attributes within the object, followed by aggregation."
"Technical support from Oracle is okay."
"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 solution is fast, provides good performance, and is not too expensive."
"The most valuable features of Redis are its ease of use and speed. It does not have access to the disc and it is fast."
"The online interface is very fast and easy to use."
"I use Redis mostly to cache repeated data that is required."
"It makes operations more efficient. The information processing is very fast, and very responsive. It's all about the technology."
"It is particularly efficient for cloud-based storage and operations."
"Redis is a simple, powerful, and fast solution."
 

Cons

"This platform has issues with stability and performance."
"The initial setup is complex and time-consuming."
"The only thing is the lack of a GUI application. There was a time when we needed to resolve an issue in production. If we had a GUI, it would have been easier."
"The tool should improve by increasing its size limits and handling dynamic data better. We use the client ID or associate it with a key for static content. The solution will not be easy for a beginner. Unless you understand SQL data, it will be difficult to understand and use Redis. It also needs to be user-friendly."
"There is a lack of documentation on the scalability of the solution."
"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."
"There is room for AWS to provide more options for server types or a way to configure more or less memory for them."
"If we use a lot of data, it will eventually cost us a lot."
"Sometimes, we use Redis as a cluster, and the clusters can sometimes suffer some issues and bring some downtime to your application."
"I would prefer it if there was more information available about Redis. That would make it easier for new beginners. Currently, there is a lack of resources."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
