Database Management System Comparison
When purchasing database management software, consider the following:
Open Source vs. Paid Database Management Systems: Both proprietary and open-source database management systems provide data management tools. An open source tool may be more configurable, but will require additional time and technical know how to set up and maintain. When considering costs, consider the cost of the employees who will have to maintain an open source product on an ongoing process rather than just the purchase price of a paid product.
Cloud Based Database Management Systems
Cloud based database management systems involve the implementation of a cloud database management platform, alongside necessary tools, policies, and other resources for controlling data that is stored in the cloud. Alternatively, cloud based database management systems can also help with hybrid set ups where data is collected from multiple sources such as a combination of on-premise and cloud-based infrastructure components.
Pricing Information
The cost of database management systems depends on the features and scalability. Pricing models include one-time fees for perpetual licenses, monthly/annual subscriptions, and pricing per user, database server, data volume, or CPU usage. Free, open-source products and free versions with limited features are available.
