We performed a comparison between IBM Db2 Warehouse on Cloud 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."The performance is okay as long as the volume of queries is not too high."
"It will be MPP, so performance should improve."
"The way that it scales will help a lot of customers that are stuck with Netezza boxes that can't grow any larger."
"I give it a nine out of 10 because it gives the customer easy access to a complete database solution within 30 minutes."
"The initial setup was straightforward and quick - I was able to configure everything within an hour."
"The product’s valuable feature is its capability to pre-configure and pre-install the settings."
"We primarily use it for OLTP, which has improved our costs."
"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 pretty automated, which takes out the possibility of human error."
"NVM Express (NVMe) solid-state drives: This technology brings outstanding I/O performance for midsize databases. We have tested it by doing POCs on customer sites and the results were quite satisfying."
"The product is very light."
"Ultimately, the product itself has challenges and we are not currently satisfied with the support, either."
"Containers get corrupted very easily. Restoring them using GPFS can result in a lot of issues."
"Right now, we are implementing on ESX VMware 6.0. Support for this platform is poor. Also, one of the backup/recovery options is broken and IBM is not addressing the issue."
"Tech support for dashDB is awful. We usually have tickets open for three to four weeks."
"The solution's initial setup is not easy."
"Since we don't have the room to scale up, I rate this solution a six out of ten for scalability."
"I would rate the scalability a seven out of ten. It has some problems. Databases are huge. This leads to needing more and more RAM and capacity resources, making it hard to scale. Because of this, we use Exadata. That's definitely a point for improvement."
"The main thing would be to make ODA more affordable, to make it a more economical machine. Also, I would like to see virtualization, so you could implement all of your functions on one machine. Finally, improvement in the speed and performance would be good."
"I would be happy to see the Oracle Auto Service Request (ASR) pre-installed in it instead of installing it in a separate machine."
"Oracle Database Appliance could improve by having better integration."
"The tool's setup can be easier."
"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."
