Offers built-in utilities and tools that simplify management

We use it for a medium-sized company and for databases. The database is installed on it because it's best for the database. Efficiency and performance are good for the database as compared to other servers. I work on different general sites, website applications, servers, Linux, etc. Oracle…

The product improves site reliability, but it is not stable, and the initial deployment was a little difficult

It is a stretched cache layer between two data centers. It allows active implementation. We put our application cache data, load it into memory, and make it accessible across multi-data centers The solution improved our site reliability. The stretched cluster is a valuable feature. When we had…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I give it a nine out of 10 because it gives the customer easy access to a complete database solution within 30 minutes."

"Oracle Database Appliances are specifically designed for Oracle databases. They have built-in utilities and tools that simplify management, making them the best option for Oracle database management systems."

"If the database goes down on one of the servers, the load is automatically shifted to another server. You can troubleshoot the one that is down without affecting uptime."

"The most valuable features of the solution revolve around its performance, simplicity, and its installation phase."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is the ability to combine all the data without the need for additional devices."

"NVM Express (NVMe) solid-state drives: This technology brings outstanding I/O performance for midsize databases. We have tested it by doing POCs on customer sites and the results were quite satisfying."

"The database is solid."

"The product’s valuable feature is its capability to pre-configure and pre-install the settings."

More Oracle Database Appliance pros

"We chose Greenplum because of the architecture in terms of clustering databases and being able to have, or at least utilize the resources that are sitting on a database."

"We have been able to set up a messaging system that facilitates data integration between the software modules that we sell."

"It's one of the fastest databases in the market. It's easy to use. From a maintenance perspective it's a good product. The segmentation, or architecture of the product is different than other databases such as Oracle. So even in 10 years, the data distribution for such segments will not affect other segments. The query performance of the product, for complex queries, is very good. It has good integration with Hadoop."

"The message routing is the most valuable feature. It is effective and flexible."

"I like the high throughput of 20K messages/sec, and that it supports multiple protocols."

"Some of the most valuable features are publish and subscribe, fanout, and queues."

"The loading speed is very good."

"The product's reliability is the most valuable feature."

Cons

"Virtualization features could also be improved. A web-based GUI would be a good start."

"The tool's setup can be easier."

"They could incorporate a more secure and internet-centric management system for the platform."

"If we were able to use Oracle Database to create mobile apps, that would be great. I don't know multiple languages, like Java, etc. I need to learn a separate language, right now in order to do this."

"Technical support is not so great. It could be much better. The maintenance, for an enterprise system, isn't so great. It's also extremely expensive."

"I would be happy to see the Oracle Auto Service Request (ASR) pre-installed in it instead of installing it in a separate machine."

"Oracle could improve its capacity for built-in visualization."

"In terms of what can be be improved, I'd say Artificial Intelligence, AI. It would be really helpful if AI was incorporated within the solution."

More Oracle Database Appliance cons

"Initial setup is a little complex. It took around two weeks to deploy."

"One of the disadvantages, not a disadvantage with the product itself, but overall, is the expertise in the marketplace. It's not easy to find a Greenplum administrator in the market, compared to other products such as Oracle."

"They need to enhance integration with other Big Data products... to integrate with Big Data platforms, and to open a bi-directional connection between Greenplum and Big Data."

"VMware RabbitMQ needs to create a new queue system."

"Implementation takes a long time."

"I was struggling with installing a few things. It would be good if was somewhat similar to RedHat. There should be more documentation regarding installation troubleshooting."

"This solution struggled with multi-regional synchronization."

"The user interface could be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"In regards to licensing, it is cheaper to maintain for Oracle applications, and it's an all-in-one solution."

"The price should be lower."

"You must pay for the license."

"Oracle Database Appliance is a very expensive solution. If you have opted for the on-premises licenses from Oracle, then you have to pay yearly. If you have opted for the cloud subscriptions offered by Oracle, then you can pay either monthly or yearly."

"The price of the solution should be less expensive. However, they will increase the price more."

"Compared to Oracle Exadata, Oracle Database Appliance is affordable."

"The product is costly."

"Leverage the Pay-As-You-Grow licensing, and consider using the ODA X6-2 S/M/L models also for SE2/SE."

More Oracle Database Appliance pricing and cost advice

"It is an open-source product."

"It is the best product with best fit for price/performance customer objectives."

"This is an open source solution."

"The product is available for free use since it is an open-source technology."

"The price is pretty good."

"It’s an open-source solution."

"Pricing is good compared to other products. It's fine."

"It is an open-source platform. Although, we have to pay for additional features."
