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

"The initial setup is straightforward. It's very easy to implement the solution. Deployment took about one hour. You only need one person for deployment and maintenance, so long as that person has a good background of administration and operation."
"No system downtime High Availability (HA)."
"Apart from the fact that we are assured high availability and disaster recovery, we use this product for different purposes as well."
"We used it solely for IBM AS400 replication for disaster recovery/failover purposes."
"Complete/custom machine real-time replication process (including apply and verification of destination)."
"I think it is the best, most robust and flexible product available."
"Knowing that our data is in multiple backup locations, provides us with piece of mind as far as a disaster recovery situation is concerned."
"In case we have an emergency or a sudden issue on the production system, we can put our point of sale terminals in local mode for 1 hour, switch over to the backup system, verify that all is running OK, then the POS systems can reconnect, and our users can sign on again and continue working."
"Space consumption is much less."
"I have used Oracle Coherence for more than 10 years, from version 3.5 through 12.1.2.1."
"A robust standalone caching solution that prioritized speed of data serialization and data integrity was a must, and Coherence delivered on that front."
"We are storing information from one of our applications; this allows us to answer requests in milliseconds, while the application would take seconds to answer requests from clients."
"Technical support from Oracle is okay."
"This product helped our organization to focus on implementing business logic without worrying about scalability on user loads of huge data queries."
"Since we implemented Coherence, this data is in memory all the time; so the results are found in milliseconds instead of five seconds."
"The product is stable and solid."
 

Cons

"The product dashboard that comes with the product could use some work."
"The version we're using is not portal ready."
"Switch procedures are not as easy and straightforward as it may seem at first glance."
"Installation is pretty easy but it can be fairly complicated to setup and configure."
"OS version compatibility needs work."
"The solution could use better dashboards for new users. They can look complicated until you get used to using the solution."
"Monitoring tools can be improved but are very useful already."
"Customer support is good but they do try to squeeze out those service dollars."
"We have encountered the occasional minor bug and very occasional more serious bug."
"It is very expensive. It might not work well for small business people."
"Would be good if the initial setup was easier."
"Oracle Coherence has considerable operational risks."
"Initial setup is very complex; specifically, a lot of XML effort is required."
"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."
"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."
