Data Architect at a consultancy with 51-200 employees
Data platform has unified diverse sources for mesh use but has needed query cache tuning
We contact the technical support at least weekly; currently, it's more or less daily because we face performance issues, crashes of queries sometimes, and we also need support for configuration of the query engines and so on. We are using the support extensively, and we are under a Gold support plan. The quality and speed of the support are satisfactory. Sometimes it depends on which support engineer is taking up the case, but very often it's quite responsive, reactive, coherent, and the response is of good quality. I would give the support an eight on a scale from one to ten, with ten being the highest.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The primary value I find in Dremio is that this tool is mainly used to query data that are split amongst several sources and to virtualize those sources so that the end user faces it as a single source of truth of data."
"Overall, you can rate it as eight out of ten."
"Dremio has positively impacted my organization as nowadays we are connected to multiple databases from multiple environments, multiple APIs, and applications, and Dremio organizes everything in an amazing way for me."
"Dremio is very easy to use for building queries."
"The native error interface has been most valuable."
"Reflections pre-calculate results which are then just delivered instantly, meaning you do not need to wait to run a query for a longer time on huge amounts of data, and the user gets very quick answers."
"We primarily use Dremio to create a data framework and a data queue."
"It's almost similar, yet it's better than Starburst in spinning up or connecting to the new source since it's on SaaS."
"It is an extremely scalable solution since you can dynamically change the resources as some other cloud solutions."
"It is a very stable tool...It is an extremely scalable tool."
"The solution is used for analytics and it works for our data security needs."
"The analytics have been very good. We've found them to be quite useful."
"It provides Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) capabilities by default to address data security issues."
"I loved the simplicity of loading the data and simply relying on the self-tuning capabilities of ADW."
"Self-patching and runs machine-learning across its logs all the time"
"It is a stable and scalable solution."
 

Cons

"They have an automated tool for building SQL queries, so you don't need to know SQL. That interface works, but it could be more efficient in terms of the SQL generated from those things. It's going through some growing pains. There is so much value in tools like these for people with no SQL experience. Over time, Dermio will make these capabilities more accessible to users who aren't database people."
"We had a memory leak on some versions, which sometimes stopped the service."
"Dremio doesn't support the Delta connector. Dremio writes the IT support for Delta, but the support isn't great. There is definitely room for improvement."
"They need to have multiple connectors. Starburst is rich in connectors, however, they are lacking Salesforce connectivity as of today."
"I chose eight out of ten because Dremio is expensive for the Enterprise version, particularly regarding licensing."
"Dremio could be improved by making it easier for data cataloging, especially when working with open table formats, as you have to choose a data format and then go into it."
"It shows errors sometimes."
"We've faced a challenge with integrating Dremio and Databricks, specifically regarding authentication. It is not shaking hands very easily."
"A lot of the tools that were previously there have now been taken away."
"Optimization should be better."
"My main suggestion for Oracle is the configuration and key values that come for JSON files. When we create a table, especially if you see in our RedShift or some other stuff, if I create a table on top of a JSON file with multiple array columns or superset columns, those column values create some difficulty in Oracle."
"Ease of interconnectivity could be improved by which I mean setting up the VPN access and the like from on-premises to cloud."
"The solution could be improved by allowing for migration tools from other cloud services, including migration from Amazon Redshift, RDS, and Aurora."
"There is a need for more storage to be allocated, but over a period of time, it becomes impossible to reduce it after using it."
"We are not satisfied with the technical support. Their understanding is lacking."
"I would like to see Application Express and Oracle R Enterprise fully supported, and I would like to see Oracle Data Mining supported as a front end."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Dremio is less costly competitively to Snowflake or any other tool."
"Right now the cluster costs approximately $200,000 per month and is based on the volume of data we have."
"We pay approximately $70,000 per month. The cost includes maintenance and support."
"Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse's pricing is fair and reasonable compared to the other cloud vendors."
"The solution's cost is reasonable."
"The cost is perfect with Oracle Universal credit."
"You pay as you go, and you don't pay for services that you don't use."
"In terms of architecture and pricing structure, I feel it is a little bit costly compared to Azure. It's fine compared to RedShift, but compared to Azure, it's a bit pricey when you calculate for one TB storage plus around five hours of reporting with the frequency of 1TB data. The cost adds up, making Oracle a bit expensive."
"The licensing cost of the product can vary since you can integrate it very easily with other products or other cloud products...You pay as you use it, so it is not yearly or monthly payments to be made toward Oracle."
"The price depends on the configuration we choose."
