Handles large data volumes effectively but connection issues require attention
The Oracle NoSQL solution is used primarily for storing data for our web applications. We work alongside the DBA team for this purpose, given that specific departments manage aspects of its use. We choose it specifically to handle large scales of data, such as in one of our bank customer's scenarios using more than nine hundred gigabytes of data.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"NoSQL has high availability. I think it's perfect from a technical perspective. It's quick to run and go."
"We have a support agreement with Oracle, ensuring full support for the product. It is crucial for our public-facing features. Oracle NoSQL is easy to manage and has fast data retrieval. Its compatibility with Oracle Database is seamless, making integration between NoSQL and relational databases smooth and effortless. Oracle NoSQL and NoSQL data replication in our environment works efficiently. Oracle fully supports it, and we can easily configure and manage authentication for the NoSQL database."
"Oracle NoSQL is pretty scalable."
"With Oracle NoSQL, our clients have a highly scalable, simple to set up database that performs very well when data is organized correctly from the beginning."
"The features I've found to be most valuable are the speed of reading and writing (read/write performance levels are really high), the transactions model (semantics for data manipulation), and just the overall simplicity of using it."
"The product meets expectations when it comes to stability."
"Try it! You’ll be impressed."
"The tool is easy to learn."
"Redis has multiple valuable features such as being a free and reliable open-source tool."
"The solution is fast, provides good performance, and is not too expensive."
"Redis is a simple service that does what it promises."
"The online interface is very fast and easy to use."
"I find Redis valuable primarily for its caching capabilities, particularly in handling cache requests effectively. Its simplicity in managing key-value pairs for caching is one of its strengths, making it a preferred choice over more complex databases like MongoDB for specific use cases. However, I haven't explored Redis extensively for managing complex data structures beyond caching, as MongoDB might be more suitable for such scenarios."
"It makes operations more efficient. The information processing is very fast, and very responsive. It's all about the technology."
"The ability to fetch and save data quickly is valuable."
"The solution's technical support team is good...The solution's initial setup process was straightforward."
 

Cons

"The installation is difficult."
"We've had some issues with stability. During our testing, we were able to drop an entire database by writing huge amounts of data."
"I would rate Oracle NoSQL six or 6.5 out of ten based on my experience."
"You will get high performance when you organize your data correctly at the beginning. Otherwise, there are instability issues."
"Oracle could improve how NoSQL works in containers. I don't think NoSQL needs any new features, but I want to see new features in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. I would like to see some improvements in OCI's building options."
"Focusing on making the administration easier compared to other solutions like MongoDB could be beneficial. Simplifying the administrative tasks could enhance the user experience."
"Personally, I’d like to see some improvements in the monitoring UI for it."
"Handling big data in a user-friendly way is currently a bit of an issue. The dashboard for this needs some work."
"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."
"There is a lack of documentation on the scalability of the solution."
"It's actually quite expensive."
"There are some features from MongoDB that I would like to see included in Redis to enhance its overall efficiency, such as the ability to perform remote behaviour. MongoDB is more efficient in handling updates than deletions and is quicker in processing updates, but it can be slower regarding deletions. This can sometimes pose a challenge, especially when dealing with large datasets or frequent data manipulations that involve deletions. In such cases, I often rewrite columns or update values instead of directly deleting data, as it can be more efficient."
"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."
"If we use a lot of data, it will eventually cost us a lot."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is expensive and Oracle could work to lower the licensing cost."
"Redis is an open-source product."
"Redis is an open-source solution. There are not any hidden fees."
"The tool is open-source. There are no additional costs."
"We saw an ROI. It made the processing of our transactions faster."
"Redis is not an overpriced solution."
