​No other solution came close to this product's speed and tech support is on a really high level
If you need local DB cache with extreme speed, then go for it, if you need something to work as a distributed cloud database, then solidDB would not be the right decision. With our Telco experience, we help with suggestions for new features and improvements of existing ones for new versions of solidDB. Also, in our labs, we do some pre-alpha testing to help them to complete some new features in the right way.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Memory cache DB and carrier grade high availability, best fit to Telco demands."
"The stability of Oracle Multitenant is excellent, and I would rate it a nine out of ten."
"The analytics tool, Oracle Analytics Server (OAS), is the main important component of this solution and in the analytics part, the VPD handles all the necessary functions effectively."
"Multitenant has a container database with many pluggable databases."
"The plug/unplug is the great feature, that doesn't even need the Multitenant option."
"With the right configurations, you can maintain an environment without retaining the risk of losing any kind of data."
"The feature that I like on Multitenant is the ease - it is very easy for my team to run the database."
"The most valuable features are the speed and ease of use."
"The modernization aspect of Oracle Multitenant is significant; it wasn't available previously in database technology, but now it is, enhancing database consolidation."
 

Cons

"Data replication and data distribution between multiple nodes definitely have room for improvement here."
"The only issue is that shared files for the main container affect all container databases if something happens to them."
"There are many functions where changes are not easy to implement, and we try to avoid modifying these areas due to security issues and the complexity of maintaining them."
"Oracle is too complex. Anyone that has experience with Oracle knows that their product design or idea may be very good, but when you go to work it will take you hours because it is very complex."
"It needs to have some more granular control over IO resource allocation."
"Oracle Support is relatively unprepared for this. It has improved, but it still has a lot of room for improvement."
"It would be beneficial to include this solution with Oracle Enterprise, but Oracle charges additional fees for it."
"Stability and full feature coverage will come with future release."
"This solution is a bit complicated when collecting from containers - that feature should be a bit better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"This solution is a little bit pricey."
"For me, I will go with it if I have the budget. Some features are nicer than before, but at the end of the day, you always have a limited budget. I prefer to upgrade and get a specific hardware when possible. At the end, you will have to make a compromise. You will not get everything you would have liked to have."
"The price is worth the quality."
