Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Everyone uses Dremio in my company; some use it only for the analytics function.""Dremio gives you the ability to create services which do not require additional resources and sterilization.""Dremio enables you to manage changes more effectively than any other data warehouse platform. There are two things that come into play. One is data lineage. If you are looking at data in Dremio, you may want to know the source and what happened to it along the way or how it may have been transformed in the data pipeline to get to the point where you're consuming it.""The most valuable feature of Dremio is it can sit on top of any other data storage, such as Amazon S3, Azure Data Factory, SGFS, or Hive. The memory competition is good. If you are running any kind of materialized view, you'd be running in memory.""Dremio allows querying the files I have on my block storage or object storage.""We primarily use Dremio to create a data framework and a data queue."

"The database is solid.""Oracle is a stable database.""I give it a nine out of 10 because it gives the customer easy access to a complete database solution within 30 minutes.""Oracle has good technical support.""The product is good value for money. It is a secure solution.""The product is excellent. It is simple and reliable in terms of installation and maintenance.""The main feature is the management and manageability of the tool. We can create a VM on a laptop within a couple of clicks.""The solution is simple to use and easy to maintain."

Cons
"It shows errors sometimes.""We've faced a challenge with integrating Dremio and Databricks, specifically regarding authentication. It is not shaking hands very easily.""Dremio takes a long time to execute large queries or the executing of correlated queries or nested queries. Additionally, the solution could improve if we could read data from the streaming pipelines or if it allowed us to create the ETL pipeline directly on top of it, similar to Snowflake.""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.""I cannot use the recursive common table expression (CTE) in Dremio because the support page says it's currently unsupported.""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."

"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.""They could incorporate a more secure and internet-centric management system for the platform.""The product's pricing is too high. We plan to migrate to another database in three to four years.""The product's technical support services need improvement.""Virtualization needs improvement. It's not easy to back up the virtual machines in the Oracle VM architecture. I would also like to see native support for Veeam Backup Software.""Oracle Database Appliance could improve by having better integration.""Sometimes, we cannot upgrade or patch it easily. The performance needs to improve.""I would like it if the scalability could be increased without having to change versions."
