LuizKazan - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Guruprasad Gonjare - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers a variety of valuable features
The deployment depends on the Exadata options. There are primarily three options which include, Exadata, Exadata Cloud@Customer, and Exadata Cloud Service. Out of these, Cloud Service requires the minimum effort. The deployment takes around two to three weeks to complete. For the deployment purpose, we need information on the user base where the access is going to happen. We would also require around four to five engineers and admins for the solution’s deployment and maintenance. This estimation is based on the workflow.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The tool's most valuable features for us are its combination of formatting, ETL, analytics, and storage capabilities."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to interact with teachers in real-time and manage lessons after class."
"Parallelism is the most valuable feature."
"Exadata with the In-Memory option is several levels about SAP HANA."
"Oracle Exadata is stable."
"We can use virtualization on Exadata."
"We like the tool’s features like Smart Scan, Hybrid Columnar Compression, and the TFA."
"It is the best solution for OLTP and data warehousing."
"The technical support team are real professionals. I admire their technical skills and supports. Their supports are really admirable."
"The most valuable feature is that you have the same familiar environment of an Oracle database but with the additional performance you get from this architecture."
 

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."
"The cost of the solution is high and can be improved."
"The customization can sometimes be difficult to achieve."
"It is difficult to evaluate return-on-investment because of the way billing is handled for the product. This should be improved by oracle."
"Sometimes it takes too long time to get help with technical issues."
"Tech support sometimes takes some time to identify and rectify issues."
"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 solution takes a lot of time to clone the environment. I would like to see some improvement in the cloning support or the time it takes on the storage side."
"Setting up Exadata is complex. You need an Oracle vendor or someone who is Oracle-certified to set it up."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the tool's pricing a five out of ten."
"Oracle Exadata is not a cheap solution. Pricing is a problem for Oracle, and every client, not just my company, would like the vendor to improve on the price, or lower the price. My company paid for several years' worth of Oracle Exadata licenses. You need to pay for the technical support and other features separately, on different contracts. In terms of affordability, my rating for Oracle Exadata is two out of five."
"The price is very high."
"The cost of the product could be improved."
"Exadata is an expensive tool, but, considering the ROI, it's worth going for the solution."
"The licensing can be a bit expensive because you need to have certain tools enabled that require them."
"Oracle Exadata is costly. Its licensing should also be more versatile. Smaller companies would benefit if Oracle Exadata had lower pricing."
"There is an annual license to use this solution. The solution is expensive."
"The pricing of Oracle Exadata is too high."
