Room For Improvement

Oracle Database as a Service needs complexity reduction, enhanced integration, improved usability, security, automation, and flexible licensing to boost adoption.

Enhancements in documentation, user-friendliness, scalability, security, cloud integration, and support are desired improvements for Redis.

The issue with licensing is the price and the way they license through partners.

Provides high availability through replication but presents challenges with licensing complexity

The most recent vendor I am dealing with is HPE. I am not familiar with a product called Zella Security from CyberArk. I use Privileged Access Management. I work only with PAM. I deal with many vendors, and my latest vendor was CyberArk. For Google, I deal with hybrid cloud environments, both on-premises and cloud. I do the same for Microsoft as well. From Oracle, we do database management and purely focus on the database engines, and then the customer handles the schemas and the data management side of things. I don't have enough information on security in general to give a valued answer on whether I am happy with how secure the product is or if I sometimes see flaws. For Oracle, I think we have it under control. We have enough subject matter experts, so I would say it is okay to deploy Oracle Database as a Service. Usually, my clients have the solution on-premises or on the cloud as well. I would rate this review seven out of ten.

Performance shines with seamless session caching and minimal configuration

The best features of Redis, from my personal perspective, are the performance, which is very quick, and it's very simple to implement. Since I started using Redis, I feel that the product is saving me some performance tuning time. It's very easy, I have few parameters to tune, and it seems to have performance without a lot of working on the performance, compared to Cassandra, where you have to configure the memory and many other settings. The integration capability of Redis is excellent. Redis is very affordable because it's free.
