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

"I like the solution's performance and ease of development."

"In terms of structured databases, I support SQL-based databases. SQL has its place, but not for plannable structure and transactional databases. At the same time, Oracle is very much optimized."

"The solution is stable."

"The most valuable features of Oracle Database as a Service are the ease of use. We can use a simple syntax to get data and we can easily go to procedures to see data other than using a query."

"I would rate this solution as an eight out of ten because the stability and performance are good and the solution does not need to be maintained a lot."

"The solution is very stable. It's very powerful."

"Oracle Database as a Service is a scalable and robust solution."

"The solution's technical support is good."

More Oracle Database as a Service pros

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

"Redis is better tested and is used by large companies. I haven't found a direct alternative to what Redis offers. Plus, there are a lot of support and learning resources available, which help you use Redis efficiently."

"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."

"I use Redis mostly to cache repeated data that is required."

"The solution is fast, provides good performance, and is not too expensive."

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

"Redis has multiple valuable features such as being a free and reliable open-source tool."

"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."

More Redis pros

Cons

"Oracle Database as a Service is difficult to set up. They should make it easier."

"The solution’s price could be reduced."

"One of the things that I have noticed is that there are some services that will give you a hard time during implementation if you are looking at the documentation of Oracle. Sometimes the documentation information is quite limited. It's an aspect of the solution they could improve."

"I would like to see a better dashboard for the storage. It need to be more complete overall."

"I would like to improve the stability of the Oracle database."

"Oracle Database as a Service could improve the provisioning. You have to recreate on-premise hardware environments in the cloud, it was not very intuitive."

"The interface can be difficult and there may be so many features that users and even vendors are unaware that they exist."

"The solution's pricing could be less expensive."

More Oracle Database as a Service cons

"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."

"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."

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

"It's actually quite expensive."

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

"Redis presents a single point of failure and lacks fault tolerance."

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

"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."

More Redis cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive."

"Oracle Database as a Service is an expensive product."

"The tool's licensing is on an yearly basis."

"What has been done is that an annual subscription model has been launched, which includes the payment of both the AML (Annual Maintenance Fee) and the subscription fee, paid on a yearly basis."

"If your organization is not making that much money, then I don't think you should use the enterprise or any other expensive versions of the solution. I recommend the tool for bigger companies."

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

"Oracle Database as a Service is always a bit costly, but it's an excellent service. My company used the on-premises version, and that was costly."

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

More Oracle Database as a Service pricing and cost advice

"Redis is an open-source solution. There are not any hidden fees."

"We saw an ROI. It made the processing of our transactions faster."
