Product Owner at Heineken

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

"We are using Oracle Database as a Service mainly for pulling out audit reports."

"I like the tool’s database services. I like the system’s performance, replication, active data, etc. which are all good."

"It is a good solution and has a large community."

"Not only does it provide a mature, reliable solution for DR. It also helps if application owners need to look into data which is a couple of hours old, using Flashback Database on the standby database."

"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."

"The most valuable aspects of the solution are the general database system resilience and security."

"Data Guard is the best solution for Disaster Recovery."

"The solution is quite stable and renewable."

More Oracle Database as a Service pros

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

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

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

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

"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."

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

"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."

Cons

"The product is very expensive."

"The tool's AI part has shortcomings, making it an area where improvements are required."

"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."

"Oracle DBaaS could be compatible with more platforms."

"Oracle Database as a Service could improve the performance when monitoring."

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

"The ROI has not been good."

"I have had a hard time finding some documentation. There should provide easier accessible documentation for Oracle Database as a Service."

More Oracle Database as a Service cons

"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 should have an option to operate without Docker on a local PC."

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

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

"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."

"Sometimes, we use Redis as a cluster, and the clusters can sometimes suffer some issues and bring some downtime to your application."

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

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"Oracle Database is less expensive than the previous solution we used."

"The price of Oracle Database as a Service is expensive."

"It is notably expensive when compared to the features offered by other alternatives."
