Likelihood to Recommend Oracle Coherence can be used to solve latency problems by caching data near the application tier. In-memory performance helps to reduce data contention, thus improving application response time. Oracle Coherence does a great job at scaling linearly and can do so dynamically. Oracle Coherence can replicate data so it can be part of a disaster recovery solution. One thing that is often overlooked with elastic caches is their ability to analyze data in memory, leveraging the processing power of the data grid. This is something Oracle Coherence does exceptionally well. Oracle Coherence also provided event handling capabilities to allow applications to respond to events triggered by transactions.

Read full review It helps our BUs analyze data and create dashboards they can understand. While slowing down with a large database, it becomes less helpful. In my experience, it is excellent in consolidating information from several sources for analysis, decision-making, and knowledge gaps. Excellent at managing information access.
Read full review Pros Performance. Superfast resolution of complex data grid queries. Reliability. Availability domain support for disaster recovery. Programming model. Frictionless API for use with Java 8. Read full review It integrates well with our current ecosystem of SAP products, like HANA. It provides end-to-end machine learning operations, with tools for the complete model life cycle. It has a simple user interface for novice users, with complex tools also available for power users. It builds on SAP Data Hub, providing all the ETL functions of that tool with additional machine learning functionality. It can run in the cloud, no on-premise software management needed. Many programming languages are supported, it provides a sandbox environment for the user to develop in whichever style they prefer. SAP is very actively developing and improving it. Read full review Cons I can't really come up with too many flaws, but possibly a bit expensive considering there are good open source caches like Ehcache. Read full review Data transfer speed tends to be slow when there is poor internet connection since SAP Data Intelligence don’t synchronize data while offline. However, this is not vendor fault, that’s why we have implemented robust wireless technology internet connection in our organization.

Read full review Usability Good tool with lots of potential, but I still see a lot of room for improvement, e.g. when it comes to debugging functionality to understand exactly where pipelines fail and what the data at that point looks like (similar to BW debugging). Also, I am missing SAPs standard machine learning libraries (Python) to be pre-installed, among some other general usability improvements.
Read full review Support Rating 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.

Read full review Initially we struggle to get help from SAP but then dedicated Dev angel was assigned to us and that simplify the overall support scenario. There is still room of improvement in documentation around SAP Data intelligence. We struggle a lot to initially understand the feature and required help around performance improvement area,
Read full review Alternatives Considered DataSynapse GridServer has the same cache functionality connected with a grid distributed application deployment platform. It provides all the necessary tools to configure and manage these applications. On the otherhand Oracle Coherence has more a flexible configuration and better performance. Also the Oracle configuration and monitoring tools are more convenient and informative than the DataSynapse ones.
Read full review One of the reasons to pick SAP Data Intelligence is the speed and security it provides, in addition to the excellent support it provides. It is also compatible with all popular databases, which is another reason to choose it.
Read full review Return on Investment In my current project, it is yet to be decided as we are on the way to make it live for users. But I am sure it will be an added value to obtain timely calculations. Read full review Automation of data management slashed tasks by over 60% in most departments for the first 8 months. Metadata catalogs have enabled us to categorize data from disjointed sources in one place. It runs multiple ML models which enhances flexibility when managing data.
