We performed a comparison between Oracle Big Data Appliance and Oracle Exadata based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Warehouse solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Because Big Data Appliance allows me to have a single source of truth, it means I have clean data that can be monetized and leveraged to gain more insights with real-time reports from the dashboard."
"The best thing about the product is that the end-user can build the reports by themselves without really knowing anything about databases."
"This is a comprehensive solution that is easy to deploy."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Exadata is its capabilities for storing and processing data. It is very good for our domain."
"We can use virtualization on Exadata."
"On-premises Exadata is just as stable as the cloud version. It's a very stable platform."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Exadata is the storage available."
"Exadata with the In-Memory option is several levels about SAP HANA."
"Compression is a great feature, where one can really save a lot of storage."
"We like the tool’s features like Smart Scan, Hybrid Columnar Compression, and the TFA."
"Before using this machine, we took no less than two days to run a report. Now, we can do it within five hours. So, there is a lot of improvement."
"From a technical perspective, Big Data Appliance could be improved with more innovation in the AI and machine-learning parts instead of relying on Cloudera."
"It seems like the deployment of repositories has become more difficult in later versions of the product rather than easier."
"The product should be simplified for the average user."
"Oracle Exadata could improve by having faster data retrieval. We receive data at four or five seconds and want to reduce that number to one second."
"There is a feature for security, but it is not included in the first purchase of this solution. That means if you need to increase the security, you need to buy the security feature which doesn't come by default on these solutions."
"There is one aspect to Exadata that I dislike, and that's the inconsistency with other databases. When you try to get Exadata to function with another type of database like SQL, or others, there should be reliable and consistent operation. When this is improved on, we should start to see more applications growing the market."
"The management monitoring tools are quite important and an area that needs some improvement."
"Patching must be simplified."
"The integration with third-party applications regarding access management security could be better."
"Sometimes it takes too long time to get help with technical issues."
"We have experienced some issues with processing unstructured data on Exadata. This is an important requirement for our AIML based use case. Reactive analytics data can not be prepared easily in Oracle Exadata."
