Customizable, intelligent, and reacts in real-time

There aren't any areas of improvement. We have a very long relationship with their R&D group. They're fairly dynamic there, however, it's not the relationships I manage. The only big hurdle for us is that most customers aren't familiar with it, so it's scary. If you're in commercial environments, everybody knows SQL, everybody knows Oracle, or whatever. It doesn't really matter due to the fact that it's embedded, however, they're paying those licenses. The only drawback is you can't just say, "Hey, provide us three Enterprise SQL licenses," and they just go reach into their Microsoft licensing deal and plug them in and go. Instead, it's plugging a new product into the mix that they otherwise would take care of on their own. The apparent cost is higher, however, in the end, it's really not.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like Oracle because it is a backward-compatible solution."

"Security is the most valuable feature."

"Oracle Database In-Memory is a suite of features that improves performance for real-time analytics and mixed workloads."

"The most valuable feature is that Database-In-Memory is more consistent and faster than traditional databases as it requires fewer CPUs to process instructions."

"It accelerates query processing, which in turn speeds up operations and streamlines workflow, and ultimately enhancing productivity."

"The on-premise version is stable. We have different teams and resources for the server side, for admin, and for development. We can easily take care of all the services and applications."

"The solution is very fast."

"Normally, every database server uses hard disks. In-Memory has a feature, apart from their database, which is very good. When we start our server, all your data needs loading memory. We can use that. It's a very good feature. I think they added this feature in 2019. We can mount memory in the partition, create partitions in there, and create table space from that spot to share. It's a really good feature. We use it a lot."

More Oracle Database In-Memory pros

"The product can be scaled in any direction and a very nice feature is that you can logically split the database by the value of the data, which is great."

"The initial setup is straightforward."

Cons

"The platform’s pricing needs improvement."

"Technical support is below our expectations currently. It could be improved."

"It would be good if Oracle could reduce downtime when transferring from non-In-Memory to In-Memory."

"The query optimization and backup features should be added."

"We often have to find solutions on our own through the support site, so there's room for improvement in this regard."

"I would like Oracle Database In-Memory to include a data replication feature."

"Oracle Database In-Memory is more expensive than Azure, and the support from the Oracle team is not very good, especially since they do not have a support team in our region."

"The high cost of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."

More Oracle Database In-Memory cons

"Advanced security would be a good additional feature."

"The only big hurdle for us is that most customers aren't familiar with it, so it's scary. If you're in commercial environments, everybody knows SQL, everybody knows Oracle, or whatever."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a need to make a yearly payment towards the licensing costs, after which there is any to pay towards the support cost attached to the solution."

"Database In-Memory is priced a bit higher than its competitors like Microsoft."

"The platform's licensing cost needs improvement."

"I rate the pricing a zero out of ten because Database In-Memory is too costly."

"The product is expensive."

"It's quite costly and it comes with a fixed price."

"The pricing is pretty good so I rate it an eight out of ten."

"Oracle Database In-Memory is expensive."
