    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.

    Woodler SMT is intended to be [a] specialized SQL Server monitoring tool. Unlike other monitoring systems, Woodler SMT does not take care [of] networks, AD, and other stuff along [with] company infrastructures. As for me, at least, this makes the Woodler SMT very strong in its area of expertise. If anybody is looking for [professional,] specialized SQL performance monitoring, the Woodler SMT would be the best choice. For general monitoring, this tool rather will not help.

    Cons
    Oracle
    • I can't really come up with too many flaws, but possibly a bit expensive considering there are good open source caches like Ehcache.

    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.

    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.

    • 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.

For a comprehensive view of a server’s current state. Woodler SMT helps identify performance bottlenecks and drill down into specific areas with targeted exploratory reports.Screenshot of Per file storage metrics
One of the most comprehensive analyses in the tool, delivering deep insight into storage performance. Analyze read/write latency, throughput, I/O, and average block size with precise database file-level granularity.Screenshot of Per table index usage analysis.
This offers visibility into SQL Server by analyzing operational and usage metrics down to the index level, with up to 3 years of historical data. It can be used for uncovering suboptimal or unused indexes.Screenshot of Query performance analysis over time.
Detect plan changes instantly through visual indicators (different line color)
See real execution time (Last Duration), not misleading averagesScreenshot of Wait statistic analysis
Thread wait statistics are a baseline standard for performance analysis, and SMT goes beyond that. By including signal waits, spinlocks, and latches, it enables the viewer to detect and resolve the most complex thread synchronization issues.
