Oracle Exadata Express Cloud Service Reviews

Oracle Exadata Express Cloud Service is an excellent platform for consolidating various Oracle databases into one place. It provides high-performance levels and is the best solution for running databases at that level. 

Additionally, it has a unique solution in the cloud, allowing for easy migration of Exadata databases to the cloud without significant changes. This makes it an ideal solution for anyone looking to improve performance, scalability, and security for any Oracle database that requires high-end performance. The built-in high availability feature of Exadata ensures that it is a reliable solution.

We are a solution partner who implements this solution for our customers. So far, we have implemented this solution for around thirty to forty customers.

• For our customers who are currently running this solution, my first client's use case is they are moving their data to this solution.
  
  
• The second case is customers who are running a large number of database servers that want to consolidate them for better performance are switching to this solution because it has a better value proposition than Exadata on-premises.
  
  
• The third case is if customers are running some customer-facing critical applications and performance is an issue, it is best to move to this solution. However, their compliance authorities have to allow them to go to the cloud, if they are not allowed, we suggest Exadata on-premises.

• What is most valuable about this solution is there is no comparative solution by any other vendors. If you look at the SAP side with the HANA database package I do not see any other comparative product with this one. If customers are running a large number of databases on different Unix servers, they can use this solution running on Oracle Linux. The performance will be excellent and is the most important thing. The performance is key and this is where this solution scores.
  
  
• 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 important that the solution is mainly based on Oracle Linux allowing for everything to be fine-tuned. The hardware, network, IO, operating system, database, and everything else works seamlessly together.

The use cases for Oracle Exadata Express Cloud Service depend on each client. Many clients nowadays prefer to use cloud solutions because cloud-based solutions don't require in-house servers, and for one of my clients based in the US, the client was on ODI because the company was a startup and didn't want to go with anything in-house. Hence, that startup used Oracle Exadata Express Cloud Service.

How Oracle Exadata Express Cloud Service helps improve organizations depends on client requirements. For example, my current client said, "Why don't we use the PL/SQL to do ETL services?" And that's where the question on using Informatica or ODI came in, particularly the question, "Why write entire queries just to do this?" That's when I started my research, so it depends on what my client requires.

My main job is to help clients choose a better solution that serves them long-term, so I usually recommend Oracle Exadata Express Cloud Service because it's easier to use and good long-term. The vendor will also assist you, so you won't need to hire people, so Oracle Exadata Express Cloud Service also helps save on costs.

Bigger customers from banking or insurance domains use the solution to have maximum performance and availability for their databases.

The performance of the tool is valuable. Some of our customers use the product because of the stability and scalability of resources like CPUs.

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

Most companies are affected by the European and Belgian governments ' rules concerning data, policies, security, and performance. The data on the platform may not be built for outside inquiry in Belgium.

Dealing with data is Europe's policy. When dealing with personal information in the medical sector on medical websites, it's dangerous to place it in the cloud. It's also forbidden in Belgium to share human resources like salaries on the cloud. Human resource companies calculating salaries, and so on cannot allow this information outside their database or Belgium. Putting this kind of information in online databases is dangerous because if they are hacked, or the data disappears, it can cause problems for people with personal data on the human resources or the medical side.

We use artificial intelligence for deep learning, and it would be a huge benefit to implement this in Oracle Exadata, though it would be difficult for the actual database. Artificial intelligence and deep learning could used for document processing, for example. Other tools need AI, deep learning, and tools for human behavior, and it would be useful in the database, though difficult.

Oracle should work on Oracle Exadata Express Cloud Service's AI capabilities.

I've been familiar with the solution for four years.

We primarily use the solution as a transaction processor.

The solution is very stable and offers great performance.

It is a full pluggable database, with nearly all administration and development privileges, without the need to administrate from a system point of view.

Usually, provisioning an Oracle Database for a small development project, a prototype, or just a quick test of new features or advanced option, is difficult on companies own servers. But with this cloud service, a development team can get a database immediately, without long negotiation with other services.
