Find out in this report how the two Database as a Service solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The implementation part of the product was easy."
"It's SQL. SQL is so easy if you know something about databases. It's easy to learn."
"This is a stable solution and offers good performance."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"Ease of management and the ability to oversee the statistics of your SQL."
"The setup was straightforward. Just a couple of clicks, and we were done."
"The valuable feature of Google Cloud SQL is its high availability option. The product is stable."
"It is not the cool features that I find valuable, it is the stability of Google Cloud Platform."
"The performance of the tool is valuable."
"Having the prediction happen in the modular format allows you to start with a lower version of Exadata and then you can keep on upgrading it as per your requirement."
"The solution is very stable and offers great performance."
"In the cloud, Exadata is more scalable. The on-prem version was limited. It wasn't that scalable because it only came in a quarter rack, half rack, and full rack. In the cloud, it scales to what you need."
"One of the most valuable parts of the solution is the high availability within the system and the performance enhancement without making any changes or fine-tuning the databases."
"It is a scalable product."
"I like that Oracle Exadata Express Cloud Service is easier to use and is a cost-saving solution because you won't need to hire people to run and maintain it."
"The customer support should be improved."
"For data analysis, the AI area of the product has certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"Google Cloud SQL still needs better connectivity to outside, existing data sources."
"I am yet to explore a lot of features that are present in this solution. However, it would be good if more documentation is available for this solution. This would help us in preparing for the certification exam and understand it better. Currently, we don't have much documentation. We do the labs for 20 or 25 minutes, but we can't capture and download anything."
"I would like to see better integration with all the different tools on the platform."
"I would like to see better availability of the product in different regions. It should also improve the security with encryption."
"In the case of Google, they need to work on a more easy interface for users."
"It is hard to do logging with the solution."
"The only downside is the difficulty in monitoring, and that's why I would like to implement MySQL database."
"The product's installation process needs improvement. It could be more accessible."
"The solution's pricing could be improved."
"Oracle's support could be better."
"The customer's default choice is the on-premise version of this solution. Only when Oracle or the partners like us, can explain to customers the cloud value proposition, and if the compliance authorities allow, they can look into this cloud solution. It will take some time for Oracle to change its perception of customers' de-facto standards. Exadata used to be treated as a black box, which is not the case now. The customer is aware of what is happening inside, how the configurations have been made, and what patching has been applied. Oracle needs to market the cloud version better."
"Scaling Oracle Exadata Express Cloud Service can be done, but the process is a little tedious, which could be an area for improvement in the solution."
"We use artificial intelligence for deep learning, and it would be a huge benefit to implement this in Oracle Exadata."
"The support must be faster."
