Offers security and good performance
Price-wise, the tool is expensive, and I feel it is an area where improvements are needed. Oracle Database as a Service is not as popular as other tools because we use AWS and GCP. Oracle is okay in terms of performance for banking businesses and some big companies. As I use the tool in Heineken, I know Oracle is an okay security solution. We use and deploy some applications and features from Oracle that are better than what others offer. The data in the tool is actually stored in the production part, so it is always kept a secret. I don't think that AI has been integrated into the tool. The AI used by Oracle is not as strong as that used by AWS. I recommend the tool to others, especially banking, finance, and insurance companies where the security needs to be better. There is maintenance for the tool required, but I don't know which company does it for our organization. I rate the tool a ten out of ten.

Unmatched Performance and Scalability for Modern Applications
Redis has room for improvement in a few areas. Enhanced tools for managing and monitoring clusters would be beneficial, as would built-in security mechanisms like advanced encryption and granular access controls. Simplifying setup and configuration could make Redis more accessible to new users. Introducing more enterprise-grade features, such as better multi-tenancy support and improved backup and restore capabilities, would also be advantageous. For the next release, it would be great to see enhanced cluster management tools, native multi-region supports for better data redundancy, integrated analytics for deeper insights, AI and ML integration features, and improved developer experience through enhanced SDKs and tools.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The Oracle Multitenant feature of 12c is awesome. This feature enables us to consolidate disparate databases under one container database and eases manageability of the databases. It also allows us to scale."
"The customer service for this solution is very good. I would rate them a nine out of ten."
"I will rate this solution a nine out of ten. We have been using this solution for the past ten years. We will continue the partnership. I do not expect to see any further integration of the tool with our software. I will recommend this tool to those with a large database."
"It is a product brought to you by a company that concentrates only on database solutions, so it is the best at what it does."
"Oracle has helped our organization by being a reliable solution that is stable with zero crashes. The differentiation between Oracle's database and other databases is that Oracle needs more attention. It's not a click here, click there solution, it needs more time put in, but once you do that, it's ready to go and you can forget about it."
"The solution is very stable. It's very powerful."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"When we want more information on something that we are using, it is easy to find related topics on the internet."
"Redis acts as an in-memory search tool that improves the speed of operations."
"Redis provides an easy setup and operation process, allowing users to quickly connect and use it without hassle."
"The ability to fetch and save data quickly is valuable."
"The online interface is very fast and easy to use."
"I use Redis mostly to cache repeated data that is required."
"Redis is good for distributed caching management."
"It makes operations more efficient. The information processing is very fast, and very responsive. It's all about the technology."
"Redis is a simple, powerful, and fast solution."
 

Cons

"They should add more integration to the solution."
"The direct scaling is a feature that has room for improvement. I would like to see virtual management machines that can scale storage well with zero downtime. The backup option and patching would then be much easier to do."
"Oracle Database as a Service is very convenient to use. However, we need to know to which schema we want it to connect specifically, and what are the username and password. The solution requires some basic knowledge of SQL RP and SQL Oracle to use it."
"Improvement in Oracle DBaaS could focus on enhancing performance monitoring and reporting tools."
"There is room for improvement in terms of flexibility."
"The area in this solution that could be improved is that currently, it's difficult to do the setup. You need to do all kinds of command lines to get it set up. If that setup becomes easier and easily manageable, that would be great."
"In the next release, I would like to see a framework for memory management."
"Oracle Database as a Service could improve by reducing the price."
"Redis could be improved by introducing a GUI to display key-value pair database information, as it is currently a CLI tool with no visual representation."
"The initial setup of Redis was difficult, with a rating of two or three out of ten."
"In future releases, I would like Redis to provide its users with an option like schema validation. Currently, the solution lacks to offer such functionality."
"The development of clusters could improve. Additionally, it would be helpful if it was integrated with Amazon AWS or Google Cloud."
"Redis should have an option to operate without Docker on a local PC."
"The solution's pricing for a local installation is very expensive."
"The initial setup took some time as our technical team needed to familiarize themselves with Redis."
"Redis could improve its efficiency in handling locally stored data, not just Amazon Cloud or Google Cloud."
