Corrr Moray - PeerSpot reviewer
SR BI developer at BRQ Digital Solutions
Has simplified complex data integration workflows and supported consistent reporting across multiple sources
We also have a close relationship with the team that does the Dremio maintenance for the database, like upgrading the versions and they know about some specific problems we had in the past, such as a memory leak. We had a memory leak on some versions, which sometimes stopped the service. Since we are using Dremio installed like a server, not a SaaS solution, many times we need to stop and restart the service to clear all the cache and all that, and this is the thing I should add. I see that many times the new versions of Dremio have not fixed old bugs, and in some new versions, old problems that were previously fixed come back again, so I think the upgrade part could use improvement. I remember using some features in the past, like pivot tables, which proved to be really difficult, but I know this is a fault also for other vendors. Pivoting, transposing, and unpivoting are often not so good. CTEs also many times prove to be not so good, so I think these two main items could be improved significantly if they standardize them.

Provides self-repair features, but the setup is complex
We use the product for online applications. We use it in the financial industry The product has self-repair features. The tool tunes itself. It separates compute from storage. We can scale storage and compute separately. The setup is complex. Oracle is a complex tool. I have been using Oracle…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Dremio gives you the ability to create services which do not require additional resources and sterilization."
"Overall, you can rate it as eight out of ten."
"Dremio is very easy to use for building queries."
"Dremio has positively impacted my organization by helping us create a single source of truth, a singular data warehouse where we can have access to all of the data sets."
"Dremio allows querying the files I have on my block storage or object storage."
"It's almost similar, yet it's better than Starburst in spinning up or connecting to the new source since it's on SaaS."
"Everyone uses Dremio in my company; some use it only for the analytics function."
"Dremio has positively impacted my organization as nowadays we are connected to multiple databases from multiple environments, multiple APIs, and applications, and Dremio organizes everything in an amazing way for me."
"The integration feature is very good because you can automate protection security automatically, restricting the access of unauthorized people."
"The solution integrates well with Power BI."
"The solution is self-securing. All data is encrypted and security updates and patches are applied automatically both periodically and off-cycle."
"I loved the simplicity of loading the data and simply relying on the self-tuning capabilities of ADW."
"I really like the auto-tuning, auto-scaling, automatic load balancing, and query tuning in the system."
"One advantage is that if you already have an Oracle Database, it easily integrates with that."
"I like the fact that the solution is self-patching, that it's running machine-learning generally across its logs all the time in order to identify any issues and to self-repair."
"It is a very stable tool...It is an extremely scalable tool."
 

Cons

"Dremio takes a long time to execute large queries or the executing of correlated queries or nested queries. Additionally, the solution could improve if we could read data from the streaming pipelines or if it allowed us to create the ETL pipeline directly on top of it, similar to Snowflake."
"I cannot use the recursive common table expression (CTE) in Dremio because the support page says it's currently unsupported."
"Dremio doesn't support the Delta connector. Dremio writes the IT support for Delta, but the support isn't great. There is definitely room for improvement."
"They need to have multiple connectors."
"Dremio takes a long time to execute large queries or the executing of correlated queries or nested queries."
"The community version lacks information or documentation."
"We had a memory leak on some versions, which sometimes stopped the service."
"We've faced a challenge with integrating Dremio and Databricks, specifically regarding authentication. It is not shaking hands very easily."
"It is very important the integration with other platforms be made to be as easy as it is with an on-premises deployment."
"They should make the solution more user-friendly."
"We are not satisfied with the technical support. Their understanding is lacking."
"Sometimes the solution works differently between the cloud and on-premises. It needs to be more consistent and predictable."
"One of the major problem is creating custom tablespace."
"An improvement for us would be the inclusion of support for an internal IP, so we could use it directly with the VCN in Oracle Cloud."
"The initial setup was pretty complex. It was not easy."
"Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse is not available as an on-premises solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Right now the cluster costs approximately $200,000 per month and is based on the volume of data we have."
"Dremio is less costly competitively to Snowflake or any other tool."
"Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse's pricing is fair and reasonable compared to the other cloud vendors."
"You pay as you go, and you don't pay for services that you don't use."
"In terms of architecture and pricing structure, I feel it is a little bit costly compared to Azure. It's fine compared to RedShift, but compared to Azure, it's a bit pricey when you calculate for one TB storage plus around five hours of reporting with the frequency of 1TB data. The cost adds up, making Oracle a bit expensive."
"The licensing cost of the product can vary since you can integrate it very easily with other products or other cloud products...You pay as you use it, so it is not yearly or monthly payments to be made toward Oracle."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is a low price and ten is a high price, I rate the pricing an eight."
"The price depends on the configuration we choose."
"We pay approximately $70,000 per month. The cost includes maintenance and support."
"The solution's cost is reasonable."
