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. The installation process of the product is not straightforward, making it an area where improvements are required. If I get freshers to install the product, they may face hassles. There is a need to have an expert person to install the product. DB2 is a solution that anyone can install.

While it has the potential for significant benefits, it seems that some manual intervention or guidance may be necessary for it to fully realize its advantages. We haven't fully experienced its complete benefits yet.
Oracle Database In-Memory appliance-based solutions can be restrictive for some applications, as they may require more flexibility in the database design to be tuned and sized to the customer's needs. Likewise, the solution’s pricing could be improved.
The solution would be better if we could use modeling rather than coding, which is the only option currently available. I'd also like to see more integration with other tools.

In the next release, Oracle should include column store or advanced query optimization so a database can be optimized by enabling analytic queries to run faster.
The pricing could be improved. It would ideal if it was more reasonable. The design isn't that great. It's kind-of buggy and doesn't seem to cater to the Korean market. There seems to be issues relating to migration. It's difficult to migrate off of it if you need to.
The solution could benefit from AI improvements. Technical support could be improved. The usability of the solution could be better. They should make it easier in terms of system administration and for getting examples of statistics from the databases. An interface or dashboard for statistics would be better. Right now, we're using cloud controls to do that, but it's not good enough.

We use some partitions in In-Memory. We have a very large table and a low dose. It is very expensive in data to load all of them into In-Memory. It takes up more memory slots in the server, as well as a lot of RAM. We use the last partitions on the table. We always need to create a script and make a schedule that can load the last partition In-Memory. Oracle doesn't have features to do this automatically. I would like them to allow us to load last partitions, as well as other table partitions, in In-Memory. I think a good feature would do that automatically, letting you see a table, load a large partition, and monitor loading memory. It's quite a good feature.

One very nice side-effect is the in-memory index. If this would be developed a bit more into being configurable, users could use it as a kind of in-memory partitioning. That opens a big field of possible use cases.
Oracle Database In-Memory transparently accelerates analytics by orders of magnitude while simultaneously speeding up mixed-workload OLTP. With Oracle Database In-Memory, users get immediate answers to business questions that previously took hours.
Oracle Database In-Memory delivers leading-edge in-memory performance without the need to restrict functionality, or accept compromises, complexity and risk. Deploying Oracle Database In-Memory with any existing Oracle Database compatible...

The product could benefit from enhancements in its graphical user interface.
The platform’s pricing needs improvement.

The product could be more economical. It is much on the higher side than other databases. Additionally, they should include OLTP functionality.

It would be good if Oracle could reduce downtime when transferring from non-In-Memory to In-Memory.
I would like Oracle Database In-Memory to include a data replication feature.
They should improve the solution's scalability for large databases. Also, they should frequently update the on-premises version.
The solution should move to the new way of writing software code with AI that is intelligent and learns.

They should lower the price. My customers think that it's too expensive.

I'm not sure about the improvements needed in the solution. The solution is quite expensive.
