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

"Oracle is known to be the number one in their industry; the help and support, the features they are giving the clients comparing to other databases, the new technology, the provide a good solution."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Exadata is the integration with other solutions, such as SAN storage and shared VLAN network."
"Regarding features, there are so many that we can offer to customers. When we sell Exadata Cloud, there are many options to choose from, especially when it comes to enterprise database options. In my experience, the main features that are appreciated are various ones like GPS and the assortment of security options."
"The product is flexible."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Exadata is the smart scan. We have large TB sessions of approximately 100 per second for each of our three instances. The smart scan allows us the obtain data in time in the enterprise manager."
"Exadata with the In-Memory option is several levels about SAP HANA."
"Exadata is a fantastic machine. Two features stand out. The first is the resource input/output management tool that allows you to manage the resources to the neck on the Exadata box."
"Oracle is easy to use for peripheral things, such as the data vault and the data firewall, data sync, and partitions. These are the features that give an edge to other databases."
"Some of the most valuable features are publish and subscribe, fanout, and queues."
"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."
"Scalable (Massive) Parallel Processing (MPP) – The ability to bring to bear large amounts of compute against large data sets with Greenplum and the EMC DCA has proven itself to be very effective."
"RabbitMQ provides access to SDKs for development and the ability to raise and log tickets if we encounter issues. We can integrate RabbitMQ using various languages like Java or Python using the provided SDKs."
"The solution improved our site reliability."
"The security is great."
"The most valuable feature is that it's really customizable."
"The product has been stable and I have never faced any kind of problems with it."
 

Cons

"There is room for improvement with the handling of the Temp IO, which is often used for JOIN statements."
"We have experienced some issues with processing unstructured data on Exadata. This is an important requirement for our AIML based use case. Reactive analytics data can not be prepared easily in Oracle Exadata."
"The customization can sometimes be difficult to achieve."
"Certification should also be improved. Today, Oracle doesn't certify applications with engineered systems."
"I would like to add some features to run applications or microservices-based applications on Exadata."
"It's too expensive per terabyte. It's complex."
"It would be nice to have a single click button to, say, migrate my VMware VM into the Oracle VM, or vice-versa."
"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."
"There are some security concerns that have been raised with this product."
"The initial setup is somewhat complex and the out-of-the-box configuration requires optimization."
"VMware RabbitMQ's configuration process could be easier to understand."
"The next release should include some of the flexibility and features that Kafka offers."
"Their implementation is quite tricky. It's not that easy to implement RabbitMQ as a cluster."
"Other tools besides RabbitMQ provide good TPS and HA."
"It doesn't have any GUI-based monitoring tools."
"Tanzu Greenplum's compression for GPText could be made more efficient."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is an expensive product and you pay more for certain performance enhancements."
"The licensing can be a bit expensive because you need to have certain tools enabled that require them."
"In the sizing phase, you can also decide whether to license all cores, or reduce the number cores using capacity-on-demand features of Exadata, as well. This has a direct impact on licensing."
"I think it's free."
"The solution’s cost is a little bit more than the traditional databases."
"The solution is expensive."
"You have to pay for the storage and the database in Oracle Exadata. It cost a lot, but it is worth it. It would be a benefit if we could reduce the price for the number of CPUs and extend the memory."
"The cost of the solution is high."
"We are using the open-source version of this solution."
"The pricing is okay."
"The pricing for RabbitMQ is reasonable. It is worth the cost."
"It is an open-source product."
"The price is pretty good."
"The solution's pricing is cost-effective as it does not involve significant expenses. Licensing is required only for the server, while clients do not need any licensing. Therefore, it proves to be a cost-efficient option."
"are using the open-source version, which can be used free of cost."
"This is an open source solution."
