Scenarios where this is best suited are like where there are not large set of data which has to be analyzed and extracted.It helps in the efficiency of data .It is also well suited for medium size companies where you have to create a common data for everyone. As for large set of data, there can be network latency issues and thus there are some limitations of this software.

It literally all boils down to the budget a team has. Nowadays, even investment banks look for every opportunity to cut cost. Oracle Coherence is a pretty robust and highly configurable cache application that every team should use if they can afford. If they can't, then open source code is their answer.

Pros
  • Robust - this product doesn't have a lot of downtime. It's less prone to errors than some other tools I've worked with.
  • Scalable - we can keep adding more things to it. We haven't hit any roadblocks when we've tried to do more with our database.

  • Distributed in memory data managment. Your data is near your data manipulator or calculator engine.
  • Write behind, read through, write through concept.
  • Fault tolerance and scalable.
  • Continueous query, live events, map reduced aggregiation, extend client are few of the very good features I have used.

Cons
  • There is no access to the physical host of the DB. This is expected from a managed DB. Everything must be done through the console or via API calls. This is a new learning curve for the DBAs.
  • Due to the lack of physical host access, certain features are not supported, such as Transportable tablespaces and Oracle LogMiner.
  • Certain special data types, (such as XMLType) are not allowed; be sure the app vendor certifies their product on this platform.

  • Better documentation on setting up various use cases.

Oracle Coherence support team is responsive and knowledgeable. We contacted them to ask a couple of design questions about how we were setting up Oracle Coherence based on how we used IBM's Datapower Extreme Scale. They were able to guide us so that we got the design correct the first time and didn't have to go back and re-architect our design later.

Hands down it's the best. It's secure and extremely fast. It also doesn't need a lot of babysitting. It's running itself. It does its job as advertised. This is why I feel everyone should if they haven't already taken a hard look OAD. I feel it's the future of technology at its best. Everyone should be taking notice of how far technology has come and where it's going.

Coherence kicks Redis's butt when it comes to performance and feature set. However, it lags far behind in terms of market penetration and cloud readiness.
