Oracle Exadata Reviews

Oracle Exadata is a flash disk, so my company's primary use case is achieving target performance on the database level.

What I like most about Oracle Exadata is its smart scan feature.

I also like that it supports higher capacities and it's high-performing, so my company can use Oracle Exadata for massive databases.

Oracle Exadata is one of the best products of Oracle, with the best engineering.

One small area for improvement in Oracle Exadata is integration, particularly at the consolidated application level.

Additional features I would like to see in Oracle Exadata in its next version include a cloud interface and GUI.

I have around one year of experience with Oracle Exadata, and I'm still working with it.

Oracle Exadata is a nine on a scale of one to ten, stability-wise.

Oracle Exadata scalability is a nine out of ten.

The initial setup for Oracle Exadata is straightforward and user-friendly because it has a great feature called OneCommand, which makes installation automated.

Both in-house and vendor teams implemented Oracle Exadata.

I'm giving Oracle Exadata five out of ten in terms of pricing. Its price could be lower.

Compared to other solutions, Oracle Exadata is more valuable because it has excellent features and it's a one-box solution.

I've worked with different versions of Oracle Exadata, such as X7, X8, and X9.

My customers use Oracle PCA (Private Cloud Appliance) for Oracle Exadata deployment. Banks use a private cloud, not a public cloud.

My company is a platinum partner of Oracle, with sixty to seventy customers using Oracle Exadata. In terms of maintenance, forty to fifty technical staff handle the maintenance for all customers.

My company is an Oracle vendor working with customers on implementation and deployment projects. The company is a reseller of Oracle Exadata.

I'm rating Oracle Exadata as eight out of ten.

You have to contact Oracle to make any changes and identify any issues. If you own the product, you may have to hire somebody who understands the product.

The performance could be improved.

This solution is deployed hybrid cloud.

There are a lot of performance-related issues that I have encountered with Oracle Exadata. You need someone with the expertise to make changes and recommend completing daily exercises for better performance.

It is a scalable solution, and I rate it an eight out of ten.

I have not contacted technical support before.

The setup requires proper security groups if you want to use it. I rate the setup an eight out of ten. Most of the users we've worked with use Oracle Exadata, but we've worked with major banks which prefer to own the solution for security purposes.

I rate the solution a seven out of ten. Regarding advice, if you're scaling performance-wise or writing something on Oracle Exadata, you should understand how the performance works. You should also understand the cost of what the query is going to be and know the scalability.

I work as an Oracle Database Admin supporting databases. 

Oracle Exadata has very good hardware and provides fast, and high performance.

To use Oracle Exadata's Smart Scans and have it perform faster, I have to adapt the database, the statement, and the tables.

Checking the Smart Scan issues is complicated, particularly troubleshooting the infinity band and the storage sales performance. In future releases, I would like to see more troubleshooting tools.

I have 15 years of experience working with Oracle.

Oracle support is very bad, it is not good at all. They do not provide a solution in suitable time.

The initial setup of Oracle Exadata is difficult, particularly if you want to repair the discs. 

The pricing of Oracle Exadata is too high. 

I evaluated IBM, the 15, to compare it with Oracle Exadata. I compared the processes and the process structure.

Overall, I would rate the solution an eight out of ten.

I primarily use Exadata to handle the databases of critical applications.

Exadata's best features are its performance during redo logging and the elasticity of the database handling.

Exadata would be improved with single dashboard visibility.

I've been working with Exadata for six to seven years.

Exadata is stable.

Exadata is scalable.

The initial installation took around a week.

I would recommend Exadata to other users for its database management and would rate it eight out of ten.

We do use it in conjunction with Hadoop due to limitations. We have around 50 users supported by this solution. All sources of required data from various sources and systems are prepared in Oracle Exadata. We write down the SQL queries and take the required output from the Oracle Exadata database. Tableau is connected to the Oracle Exadata database and we complete all analysis, reports and visualization using Tableau. Overall, this is a good solution.

We have used this solution for a long period of time so it has become easy for us to query any kind of data from Oracle Exadata which has been valuable. 

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.

I have been using this solution for seven years.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten. 

Oracle Exadata is used to keep our data, which is related to the company. It collects it from the source system and stores it in the enterprise data warehouse platform. For storing the data itself and serving the data on a different platform for the company.

The most valuable feature of Oracle Exadata is its capabilities for storing and processing data. It is very good for our domain. 

The solution only requires one person for maintenance and support in an average-sized insurance company.

Oracle Exadata could improve the platform performance tuning should be easier, automated, and user-friendly.

In a future release, I would like to have new analytical capabilities.

I have been using Oracle Exadata for more than eight years.

The stability of Oracle Exadata is good.

Oracle Exadata is scalable.

We have data engineers and data scientists using this platform, and in my team, there are 25 of them, and all of them are using this platform.

We request a heath check for issues from the support and we have a deal with them to support us.

I rate the support from Oracle Exadata a three out of five.

Oracle Exadata's initial setup is easy. Installing the solution on our system in the data center takes less than one day.

I would rate the initial setup of Oracle Exadata a four out of five.

We did the implementation using our team and a third-party company.

There is an annual license to use this solution. The solution is expensive.

I rate the price of Oracle Exadata a three out of five.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Oracle Exadata an eight out of ten. 

Basically, we simply use the solution to store our own database. We run more than 135 applications in our bank and we use Oracle to hold the data.

The solution is extremely stable. That's one of the main reasons we are using it.

The product is flexible.

It's a fairly easy-to-use solution.

The solution scales quite well and always meets our needs when we need to extend it.

The product is very easy to install.

Technical support is quite good.

The solution could always be more stable and more reliable. The more they work on this, the better the product will be. That said, for the most part, right now, it's pretty good.

I've been using the solution for two years. It hasn't been that long just yet.

The stability has been very good. There are no bugs or glitches and it doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable and the performance has been great.

The solution offers excellent scalability. It's one of its great selling features. We never have to worry about it not having enough capacity for our needs.

Currently, we have about 8,000 end-users on this product.

Currently, we're quite happy with Oracle's technical support, If we weren't we would definitely let them know. However, at this time, they are helpful and responsive.

The initial implementation is quite simple and straightforward. It's not difficult or too complex for someone to handle. A company should have no trouble with the setup process. 

For us, the deployment process took around three days. That was just to have all of the planning and other stuff in line and ready to go. Everything all together - including the migration, et cetera, should be three to five days, or something in that ballpark.

We have about 35 people in IT that can handle any maintenance tasks required.

For the initial setup, we do have an integrator. There are three parties involved with the implementation process. There's Oracle, then the distributor, and finally, the party that was contracted for implementation.

We are under contract and pay a license to Oracle. I cannot speak to the exact amount.

We've mostly been using Oracle for our systems, however, we do use MySQL for our verification. 

We're customers and end-users of Oracle.

We are using the latest version of the solution. I cannot speak to the exact version number, however. 

I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten. We've mostly been quite happy with its overall capabilities. I'd recommend the product to other users and companies.

We are a telecommunications company. The information that we have there, it's Oracle Suite including a CRM, help service integration, and more. That's the core of the system. All the information is available to users using Oracle BI, and some other tools. We're very Oracle-based in our product choice.

In the past, all the reports that the organization needed would have to pass through a new requirement. And in order to create it, a person needed IT, and the developers. They would have to then test it and release it. Now, since we have this information available, access depends on the role, and the security filters and the user can access information and can make their own dashboards and reports and take decisions. They no longer need to go through IT and developers.

We're working on making our usage to be part of a service in a manner that the client can use the information and create their own dashboards, and reports. The client can access the information they need based on the role they have. It prevents them from being dependant on an IT department for access.

The data replication is very good.

The solution offers a good data warehouse.

The solution allows us to avoid conflict with the transactional databases. 

The replication of the database needs to avoid collision with the transactional databases. That's a very, very important aspect that needs to be looked at. 

It would be nice if we had access via mobile devices. To be able to have this information and the dashboards on cellphones or tablets or something like that would be great. It would make the solution similar to Tableau, for example, and other kinds of solutions. 

The initial setup process is very difficult and extremely complex.

I've used the solution since about 2017. It's been a few years at this point.

It's a pretty good solution, however, there may be more opportunity for more stability within the product. That said, the hardware and the database are some of the best Oracle has. It's pretty stable.

The on-premises versions of the solution are very difficult to work with, however, the next-generation cloud-based options are likely easier to expand as necessary.

We have about 800 concurrent users on the solution at any given time. It's a mid-sized company.

I'm not sure if we have plans to expand out own usage. It's a difficult time in Mexico, politically and also with COVID. We had plans to change some things last year, and they have since been pushed out. We're looking at different aspects of our entire system and we're reconsidering how it operates and if we should add partners or not.

While we used Oracle consultants for the implementation of the product, and that did not go very well at all, now that it is set up, I can say that we do find their general technical support quite good. We're on good terms with support in general, which comes from America, and I would say we are satisfied with the level of service Oracle provides.

We used a different solution a long, long time ago. It may have been something like InfoWorks. However, as I said, it was quite some time in the past.

The initial setup is not straightforward at all. It's very complex and extremely difficult.

It's not easy to explain the entire process overall as there's a lot of criteria. We start working on the requirements, and the first implementation was not exactly what we spec'd it for. We had to start over, and we were complimenting these requirements. However, the functionality and scope ended up not being agreed upon by two partners. The users also did not take into account that they needed to be a part of the process. There were just so many moving parts that never lined up properly.

We've realized that a good solution must also be easy to use as the users will end up being the ones accessing the information, and, if they are confused, they'll never use the technology. On top of that, the requirements and scope need to be clear upfront.

I'm not sure how much staff has been needed for deployment and maintenance.

We used Oracle consultants and our experience with them was very, very bad.

I don't handle the licensing or billing, therefore, I'm not familiar with the direct costs of using this solution.

We did look at SAP before ultimately choosing Oracle. We may have looked at others, however, it was a long time ago. I'm not even sure if the same companies exist.

Ultimately, we chose Oracle as it was more suited for telecommunications whereas SAP was more into manufacturing.

We don't have a business relationship with the company. We are just users.

I'm not sure which version of the solution we're currently using.

While telecommunications is an area that always does pretty well - as people need internet and other related services, even in these strange times, it's a strange time in Mexico for a variety of reasons and therefore we are rethinking how we are approaching entire systems and maybe holding off on some decisions until the landscape clears a bit.

While I like Oracle as a solution, and its hardware and database are quite good, when we're talking about implementation, scalability, and integration, I would not recommend this solution. The best option today for a telecom company is likely Salesforce Vlocity.

I would rate the solution six out of ten.
