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

"By implementing remote journals, we have put the load on the target system as opposed to the source."
"You can sleep without fear every night if MIMIX takes care of your data replication."
"We used it solely for IBM AS400 replication for disaster recovery/failover purposes."
"It has helped us cut down process time and manpower."
"For data replication purposes, we would migrate users from the live box to the backup machine in a matter of minutes, which was much quicker for the end user and required no restore from tapes."
"I think it is the best, most robust and flexible product available."
"Apart from the fact that we are assured high availability and disaster recovery, we use this product for different purposes as well."
"It allowed us to have a stable, low maintenance, worry free disaster recovery solution that we can present to our management and our clients."
"Coherence is beneficial due to its multi-indexing to the same object and filtering based on data attributes within the object, followed by aggregation."
"Space consumption is much less."
"In my experience, while working on customers’ solutions where performance is a key requirement, along with robustness and stability needs, I have always found Oracle Coherence as the best solution for integrating with different Oracle products and caching data for application-specific needs."
"The product is stable and solid."
"It was suited for stock exchange marketing software, improved performance."
"This product helped our organization to focus on implementing business logic without worrying about scalability on user loads of huge data queries."
"Introducing a data grid, we moved from a vertically scalable solution to full scalability."
"High availability, distributed calculation features, and WebLogic integration are the most valuable features to me."
 

Cons

"The MQSeries replication part doesn't work smoothly, sometimes requiring more manual activity to ensure synch between live and backup."
"Replication of the IBM i spooled files and files on the IFS system (Windows-like environment). About 1/2 the time, we have to nudge the system a bit to get the file(s) over."
"Customer support is good but they do try to squeeze out those service dollars."
"Could make it easier to fix object errors."
"The version we're using is not portal ready."
"Switch procedures are not as easy and straightforward as it may seem at first glance."
"I think that there should be a converged effort with IBM for faster remote journal entry reads when the remote journal is in "fire mode"."
"The product dashboard that comes with the product could use some work."
"The product is the best, but it's absurdly expensive because licensing is according to the number of CPUs."
"In my experience, I did find it challenging to use this product when namespace prefixes on the resulting XML object was a requirement."
"Reloading really takes a lot of time."
"Data transfer performance over geographical locations. Oracle database has better performance compared to Coherence when accessed from different regions."
"It is very easy to set up a basic topology, but hard to configure and tune to make it really work."
"Monitoring API needs to be improved and needs to be user friendly. Also, the error and exception handling is not that great as it can be difficult to debug issues."
"Coherence failed to live up to its SLA by not being able to recover but getting into a state where new nodes were created when the old ones were still there but for some reason no longer recognized as being part of the cluster."
"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."
