Allows for much easier cross server monitoring and administration
I use this software bundle for managing multiple SQL Server instances. The environment has a large number of SQL Servers serving disparate applications, both internal and external.  This product allows for much easier cross server monitoring and administration. When relatively few administrators…

Facilitating real-time business insights with enhanced data querying
Coherence is beneficial due to its multi-indexing to the same object and filtering based on data attributes within the object, followed by aggregation. These features facilitate querying data with multiple keys rather than just a single key. Its real-time data processing capabilities provide insights for business decisions with up-to-date information.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This product allows for much easier cross server monitoring and administration."
"SQL Server​ Configuration: This allows admins to compare and edit server configurations for one or more SQL servers saving a lot of time when managing large numbers of instances."
"Technical support from Oracle is okay."
"For high-end solutions, involving advanced features, Coherence outstands competitors, fully justifying its price tag."
"Since we implemented Coherence, this data is in memory all the time; so the results are found in milliseconds instead of five seconds."
"Coherence absolutely outperforms others in terms of scalability, reliability, and performance."
"Oracle Coherence is a very good product which helps to create internet-scale applications using a high-performance grid."
"Oracle Coherence improved site performance and the customer experience."
"Coherence has improved response times for queries of sizeable data sets, and by allowing for data distribution and replication through clustering, it improves the reliability of information systems."
"A robust standalone caching solution that prioritized speed of data serialization and data integrity was a must, and Coherence delivered on that front."
 

Cons

"A set of T-SQL admin snippets might be useful, e.g., code to create users, databases, indexes, etc. It would definitely be welcomed in the bundle."
"Product is too expensive and support is poor. There are better products."
"Customer service: Five out of 10."
"This platform has issues with stability and performance."
"The product is the best, but it's absurdly expensive because licensing is according to the number of CPUs."
"Technical support is 3 or even 2 out of 10. Working directly through an account rep or a contact on Coherence dev team helps a lot."
"In my experience, I did find it challenging to use this product when namespace prefixes on the resulting XML object was a requirement."
"We have encountered the occasional minor bug and very occasional more serious bug."
"They could make the configuration management easier."
