Ability to interact with teachers in real-time and manage lessons after class
The deployment process is very fast. We have prepared the product to be easily installed, and we have had successful cases where it could be implemented in less than a few weeks. Moreover, Around three or four people in a call center are involved in maintaining the solution. We have a project manager, a service manager, and at least two or three system analysts who handle the maintenance. If there are any issues, we can open a support ticket for them to address.
Arun Kumarasamy - PeerSpot reviewer
A highly scalable solution that has the best technology and is designed for huge database workloads
It's an entire hardware box where the software and the hardware combination can fasten our queries for the database. The tool has an intelligent cell server where the data is processed at the storage layer rather than the server layer. The tool supports our big data analytics and data warehousing needs. It is the best solution for OLTP and data warehousing. Oracle has the best database technology in the world. Exadata is the best hardware machine designed for huge database workloads along with OLTP.

Cons

"The solution is expensive. For future releases, it would be beneficial if Kovair Data Lake could enhance its ETL and data capabilities."
"Maybe the chat conversation feature could be improved."
"Oracle Exadata has room for improvement in pricing, especially for smaller companies. The solution is okay for bigger companies, but for smaller companies, it isn't."

"Oracle Exadata could improve the platform performance tuning should be easier, automated, and user-friendly."
