    A solution that offers excellent replication and easy implementation
    We primarily use the solution for backup replication The most valuable feature is data replication. Everything about the solution is very simple, which makes it easy to use. The solution could use better dashboards for new users. They can look complicated until you get used to using the…

    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."
    "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."
    "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."
    "We used it solely for IBM AS400 replication for disaster recovery/failover purposes."
    "It's used in our new architecture, for production, HA/DR and it works with different data groups."
    "No system downtime High Availability (HA)."
    "You can sleep without fear every night if MIMIX takes care of your data replication."
    "It has helped us cut down process time and manpower."
    More MIMIX [EOL] pros
    "It has allowed us to greatly improve our response times in several services by caching part of the database into Coherence and executing complex queries using EntryProcessors."
    "A robust standalone caching solution that prioritized speed of data serialization and data integrity was a must, and Coherence delivered on that front."
    "The Customer Facing Application response time has been improved 95%."
    "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."
    "Since we implemented Coherence, this data is in memory all the time; so the results are found in milliseconds instead of five seconds."
    "Other technologies don’t allow the same level of scale and compute capability, while providing rigorous resilience and security underpinnings."
    "For high-end solutions, involving advanced features, Coherence outstands competitors, fully justifying its price tag."
    "This product helped our organization to focus on implementing business logic without worrying about scalability on user loads of huge data queries."

    Cons

    "Replication errors need to be resolved."
    "Installation is pretty easy but it can be fairly complicated to setup and configure."
    "Customer support is good but they do try to squeeze out those service dollars."
    "The solution could use better dashboards for new users. They can look complicated until you get used to using the solution."
    "The systems overheads need improvement."
    "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."
    "The version we're using is not portal ready."
    "OS version compatibility needs work."
    More MIMIX [EOL] cons
    "OSB could be tuned to do things like Apigee."
    "Complexity being a huge contributor to risk/cost for projects, I am more likely to use other products as a result."
    "Data transfer performance over geographical locations. Oracle database has better performance compared to Coherence when accessed from different regions."
    "Would be good if the initial setup was easier."
    "Initial setup was complex. We wrote a lot of wrapper code around the Coherence libraries in order to make it easier for the developer."
    "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."
    "We have nodes failing all the time, especially because of timeouts caused by node synchronization, but occasionally there are also memory-related errors."
    "This platform has issues with stability and performance."
