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.

Caching has improved response times and reduces database load for high-traffic applications
Redis is very reliable, but it could be improved in areas such as monitoring, debugging, and feasibility into memory use. Better built-in tools for observability would help teams manage it more effectively at scale. Managing memory efficiently and troubleshooting issues can sometimes require additional tooling, so these areas can also be improved.One practical challenge I experienced is managing memory efficiently. Since Redis is in-memory, we need to carefully configure eviction policies and monitor usage. Debugging cache-related issues such as stale data or cache invalidation can sometimes be tricky. Additionally, tuning memory usage and eviction policies needs to be planned very carefully.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"NoSQL has high availability; I think it's perfect from a technical perspective, and it's quick to run and go."
"The product meets expectations when it comes to stability."
"So far, we find stability to be very reasonable, it is dependable and we do not have any big issues."
"Try it! You’ll be impressed."
"The tool is easy to learn."
"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."
"Overall, my experience with Redis has been very positive, and it has played a key role in improving performance, scalability, and system responsiveness in our back-end system."
"The most valuable features of Redis are its ease of use and speed. It does not have access to the disc and it is fast."
"The solution is fast, provides good performance, and is not too expensive."
"Redis provides an easy setup and operation process, allowing users to quickly connect and use it without hassle."
"The best thing about Redis is its ability to handle large amounts of data without frequently hitting the database. You can store data in temporary memory, especially for high-volume data."
"The performance of Redis is very fast."
"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."
"Redis acts as an in-memory search tool that improves the speed of operations, allowing for quicker data retrieval and enhancing the performance of applications."
 

Cons

"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."
"Personally, I’d like to see some improvements in the monitoring UI for it."
"The installation is difficult."
"Handling big data in a user-friendly way is currently a bit of an issue. The dashboard for this needs some work."
"We've had some issues with stability. During our testing, we were able to drop an entire database by writing huge amounts of data."
"The main areas that need improvement with NoSQL are in the area of big data and user-friendly presentation."
"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."
"The development of clusters could improve. Additionally, it would be helpful if it was integrated with Amazon AWS or Google Cloud."
"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."
"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."
"One limitation is that Redis is memory-based, so scaling can become expensive compared to disk-based systems."
"Redis should have an option to operate without Docker on a local PC."
"Making management easier, especially for teams operating large Redis clusters, would be helpful."
"The only thing is the lack of a GUI application. There was a time when we needed to resolve an issue in production. If we had a GUI, it would have been easier."
"There is room for AWS to provide more options for server types or a way to configure more or less memory for them."
 

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 not an overpriced solution."
"We saw an ROI. It made the processing of our transactions faster."
"Redis is an open-source solution. There are not any hidden fees."
"The tool is open-source. There are no additional costs."
