Offers security and good performance

Price-wise, the tool is expensive, and I feel it is an area where improvements are needed. Oracle Database as a Service is not as popular as other tools because we use AWS and GCP. Oracle is okay in terms of performance for banking businesses and some big companies. As I use the tool in Heineken, I know Oracle is an okay security solution. We use and deploy some applications and features from Oracle that are better than what others offer. The data in the tool is actually stored in the production part, so it is always kept a secret. I don't think that AI has been integrated into the tool. The AI used by Oracle is not as strong as that used by AWS. I recommend the tool to others, especially banking, finance, and insurance companies where the security needs to be better. There is maintenance for the tool required, but I don't know which company does it for our organization. I rate the tool a ten out of ten.

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

"Oracle has helped our organization by being a reliable solution that is stable with zero crashes. The differentiation between Oracle's database and other databases is that Oracle needs more attention. It's not a click here, click there solution, it needs more time put in, but once you do that, it's ready to go and you can forget about it."

"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

"The solution is scalable, has support & right incident, and allows easy data recovery."

"The Oracle Multitenant feature of 12c is awesome. This feature enables us to consolidate disparate databases under one container database and eases manageability of the databases. It also allows us to scale."

"We have the ability to build several solutions to according to the requirements of our users."

"The product's implementation was pretty straightforward."

"It effortlessly hosts applications for months and exhibits exceptional reliability."

"The most valuable feature of Oracle Database as a Service is its use as a provisioning database."

More Oracle Database as a Service pros

"Redis acts as an in-memory search tool that improves the speed of operations."

"The performance of Redis is very fast."

"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."

"The online interface is very fast and easy to use."

"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 in-memory data makes it fast."

"Redis provides an easy setup and operation process, allowing users to quickly connect and use it without hassle."

"The solution's technical support team is good...The solution's initial setup process was straightforward."

More Redis pros

Cons

"The solution provides the same type of RDBMS engine for all use cases. They need to provide different products that will be suitable for all use cases. The solution does not support the documentation of databases."

"The area in this solution that could be improved is that currently, it's difficult to do the setup. You need to do all kinds of command lines to get it set up. If that setup becomes easier and easily manageable, that would be great."

"Some of the technical features could be improved. They have a problem with some of the object types. I think this is one of the issues which is needed to be improved."

"The solution’s initial setup is very complex."

"On the cloud services, they need to improve some console-level items, including the logging of the databases on the console level."

"The price of the solution is an area of concern. From an improvement perspective, the price of the solution should be lowered."

"Debugging this solution is challenging."

"The support provides help based on the same size fits all kinds of approaches, making it an area where improvements are needed."

More Oracle Database as a Service cons

"If we use a lot of data, it will eventually cost us a lot."

"The solution's pricing for a local installation is very expensive."

"Redis could be improved by introducing a GUI to display key-value pair database information, as it is currently a CLI tool with no visual representation."

"The development of clusters could improve. Additionally, it would be helpful if it was integrated with Amazon AWS or Google Cloud."

"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 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."

"For the PubSub feature, we had to create our own tools to monitor the events."

More Redis cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution depends on the scale of how you will use it."

"Customers need to pay extra costs for the solution based on their scope and business."

"In my opinion, it's not cheap, but every business can decide for itself."

"The pricing is a little bit expensive."

"For on-premises, a perpetual license is a standard $17,500 plus 22% for one year of support."

"Oracle Database as a Service has a yearly licensing fee, which is expensive."

"There should be a standard way to license the database in a virtual environment (e.g. VMware) and there should be a low-end version (like Standard Edition One) again."

"The price of Oracle Database as a Service could be better."
