IBM Db2 Warehouse vs Oracle Exadata Express Cloud Service comparison

"Provides good security and reliability."

"The analytics engine is not bad at forecasting predictions."

"It can scale effectively as long as resources are available."

"I think it scales really well and as long as you take enough time to learn a little bit about it, it works really well."

"The standout feature of IBM Db2 Warehouse, which is particularly valuable for large enterprises, is its ability to handle big data."

"The solution is stable."

"Some of the best features are stored procedures, parallelism, and different indexing strategies."

"The most valuable features of IBM Db2 Warehouse include its availability, easy integration, ability to deal with a large size of data, excellent performance with no delays, powerful security mechanisms, and effective support."

"In the cloud, Exadata is more scalable. The on-prem version was limited. It wasn't that scalable because it only came in a quarter rack, half rack, and full rack. In the cloud, it scales to what you need."

"I highly recommend Oracle Exadata Express Cloud Service as a very good solution if you can afford it."

"One of the most valuable parts of the solution is the high availability within the system and the performance enhancement without making any changes or fine-tuning the databases."

"Having the prediction happen in the modular format allows you to start with a lower version of Exadata and then you can keep on upgrading it as per your requirement."

"It is a scalable product."

"The solution is very stable and offers great performance."

"I like that Oracle Exadata Express Cloud Service is easier to use and is a cost-saving solution because you won't need to hire people to run and maintain it."

"The performance of the tool is valuable."

"The biggest challenge anyone could have with Db2 Warehouse is their references or online resources and documentation. They are very, very, very limited on the web."

"The biggest problems we have is when the backup solution is failing or slow and we run out of log space, which has happened probably a couple of times in the last four years."

"Responding to support tickets takes a lot of time. It can range from two to four days, even for critical issues."

"It takes a long time to have a new version or release, similar to Oracle."

"There were some initial challenges with IBM Db2 Warehouse about eight months ago when I worked in this environment. When I coordinated with IBM support, they mentioned that the memory was insufficient for our needs. Our business environment required significantly more memory than the previous cluster could provide. Consequently, we have worked closely with on-site IBM technical personnel to address this issue."

"In terms of improvement, IBM Db2 Warehouse should be more scalable."

"IBM Db2 Warehouse needs to improve its interface."

"Lacks sufficient documentation and particularly in Spanish."

"We use artificial intelligence for deep learning, and it would be a huge benefit to implement this in Oracle Exadata."

"The solution's pricing could be improved."

"The customer's default choice is the on-premise version of this solution. Only when Oracle or the partners like us, can explain to customers the cloud value proposition, and if the compliance authorities allow, they can look into this cloud solution. It will take some time for Oracle to change its perception of customers' de-facto standards. Exadata used to be treated as a black box, which is not the case now. The customer is aware of what is happening inside, how the configurations have been made, and what patching has been applied. Oracle needs to market the cloud version better."

"The product's installation process needs improvement. It could be more accessible."

"The only downside is the difficulty in monitoring, and that's why I would like to implement MySQL database."

"Scaling Oracle Exadata Express Cloud Service can be done, but the process is a little tedious, which could be an area for improvement in the solution."

"The support must be faster."

"Oracle's support could be better."

"In a traditional on-prem database, in a data warehouse, the solution is probably on the expensive side."

"I think Oracle pricing is usually above average market price."

"The tool is not cheap, but it is not really expensive."

"The price of this solution is very comparative to others on the market. There is no direct comparison between this solution and with something else because I do not see any other similar product."
