What I found most valuable in Oracle Exadata is its newer technology that gives better performance. It has more recent hardware and significant changes in the architecture, so it's better than older solutions.

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.

There is a feature for security, but it is not included in the first purchase of this solution. That means if you need to increase the security, you need to buy the security feature which doesn't come by default on these solutions.

Certification should also be improved. Today, Oracle doesn't certify applications with engineered systems.

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.

It is difficult to evaluate return-on-investment because of the way billing is handled for the product. This should be improved by oracle.

We have a little trepidation with the system as it does have a learning curve. Also changing to a binary logging format for us feels like retrograde motion, but sadly almost all Linux variants have moved in this direction.

The improvement could be made on the hardware level as the habit in the industry is to go better and faster and larger with every iteration.

Since the product is an appliance, it is very costly.
