We performed a comparison between Amazon EMR and Oracle Database Appliance based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Data Warehouse solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Amazon EMR is a good solution that can be used to manage big data."
"When we grade big jobs from on-prem to the cloud, we do it in EMR with Spark."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The ability to resize the cluster is what really makes it stand out over other Hadoop and big data solutions."
"The solution is pretty simple to set up."
"It allows users to access the data through a web interface."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"In Amazon EMR it is easy to rebuild anything, easy to upgrade and has good fault tolerance."
"Oracle Database Appliance provides high stability."
"The database is solid."
"The most valuable features of the solution revolve around its performance, simplicity, and its installation phase."
"The solution is simple to use and easy to maintain."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Database Appliance is the ease of management."
"Oracle Database Appliance is a stable solution. We have clients that have been running it for 10 years."
"The product is very light."
"The most valuable feature is the performance."
"The product must add some of the latest technologies to provide more flexibility to the users."
"There were times where they would release new versions and it seemed to end up breaking old versions, which is very strange."
"The problem for us is it starts very slow."
"Modules and strategies should be better handled and notified early in advance."
"The initial setup was time-consuming."
"Amazon EMR is continuously improving, but maybe something like CI/CD out-of-the-box or integration with Prometheus Grafana."
"The most complicated thing is configuring to the cluster and ensure it's running correctly."
"As people are shifting from legacy solutions to other technologies, Amazon EMR needs to add more features that give more flexibility in managing user data."
"Oracle could improve its capacity for built-in visualization."
"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."
"In my opinion only one single command should be used for all ODA models, as it’s confusing."
"The feature that I would like to see improve is the interface. It is really not good. I almost have to work on script by script in it. There is always some issue with the user interface."
"Oracle Database Appliance is stopping support for the standard edition and only continuing support for the RAC One Node. They did not inform us and we are having problems with our customers. We are not having to change our systems from standard to something else."
"It would be beneficial to have dedicated RAM included in the Oracle Database Appliance."
"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."
"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."
