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 Database as a Service is a scalable and robust solution."
"The solution's technical support is good."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Database as a Service is the object types. The object types are not available in other databases, such as SQL and Postgres. Additionally, the security is very good."
"The initial setup is not too difficult, and on a scale from one to ten with one being the most difficult and ten being the easiest, I'd rate it at eight. The initial deployment can be done in an hour."
"It has significantly enhanced our application development process by introducing substantial time savings and streamlining routine tasks."
"I like the solution’s performance and real application concepts."
"The functionality is good."
"It effortlessly hosts applications for months and exhibits exceptional reliability."
"It makes operations more efficient. The information processing is very fast, and very responsive. It's all about the technology."
"The in-memory data makes it fast."
"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."
"Redis is a simple, powerful, and fast solution."
"Redis is a simple service that does what it promises."
"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."
"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

"They should add more integration to the solution."
"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."
"The installation process requires improvement as it can be quite complex."
"The solution needs more certifications for other products and applications because migration to the cloud is difficult without them."
"Its application development could be enhanced to fully utilize its features."
"Oracle Database as a Service could improve the performance when monitoring."
"The product must improve its performance."
"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."
"It's actually quite expensive."
"Redis could improve its efficiency in handling locally stored data, not just Amazon Cloud or Google Cloud."
"If we use a lot of data, it will eventually cost us a lot."
"There is a lack of documentation on the scalability of the solution."
"The development of clusters could improve. Additionally, it would be helpful if it was integrated with Amazon AWS or Google Cloud."
"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."
"Redis presents a single point of failure and lacks fault tolerance."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"For on-premises, a perpetual license is a standard $17,500 plus 22% for one year of support."
"The solution's price is reasonable but depends upon the negotiation."
"Customers need to pay extra costs for the solution based on their scope and business."
"The pricing may seem expensive, but the value corresponds to the quality of the product."
"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."
"The product is expensive."
"The cost for Oracle Database as a Service is higher than that for other similar solutions."
"The licensing is a nightmare. Tons of options which need to be licensed individually, and no real offering for VMware or other Hypervisors."
"Redis is an open-source product."
"Redis is not an overpriced solution."
"We saw an ROI. It made the processing of our transactions faster."
"Redis is an open-source solution. There are not any hidden fees."
"The tool is open-source. There are no additional costs."
