Microsoft Analytics Platform System vs Oracle Exadata Express Cloud Service comparison

"It is closely integrated with other products in the MS portfolio."

"The Cube Solution is quite different when compared to the rest of the competition and has unique functionality for advanced analytics."

"We leverage its capabilities for many applications. We can integrate with our databases, like Oracle, MySQL, or any other, using Microsoft Integration Services."

"This is a well-integrated solution and that integration empowers results."

"Helps our customers to discover trends, which provides useful information based on their business."

"This solution will connect to any database, you can combine databases, and you can create a cube or tabular model."

"Microsoft Analytics Platform System's most valuable feature is its ecosystems and seamless integration with other Microsoft reporting platforms and databases."

"I like that it's integrated with other Azure products."

"I highly recommend Oracle Exadata Express Cloud Service as a very good solution if you can afford it."

"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."

"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."

"I would rate Oracle Exadata Express Cloud Service ten out of ten for its overall solution."

"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."

"The solution is very stable and offers great performance."

"It is a scalable product."

"The performance of the tool is valuable."

"Functionality needs to be more up-to-date with competing products."

"​Hybrid environments are complex to manage."

"Microsoft Analytics Platform System could have better support."

"We need better real-time analytics capabilities. It's a bit challenging for us."

"Machine learning and artificial intelligence capabilities need to be more friendly for beginning users."

"The flexibility of this solution needs to be improved because you cannot make changes at every one of the different steps."

"Releases of new products and functionality is never accompanied by associated documentation, training and resources that adequately explain the release."

"I think the biggest problem with the product is that it does a data ingest model, which is very expensive."

"I feel there is a need for better integration with Google Maps and Google Earth. This is crucial for me in the geographical facilities of the environment."

"The solution's pricing could be improved."

"We use artificial intelligence for deep learning, and it would be a huge benefit to implement this in Oracle Exadata."

"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."

"The only downside is the difficulty in monitoring, and that's why I would like to implement MySQL database."

"The support must be faster."

"Oracle's support could be better."

"The initial price is lower than Oracle, but extensive use of SQL may lead to a higher total cost of ownership."

"Users have to pay extra for premium-level technical support."

"I rate Microsoft Analytics Platform System a seven out of ten for pricing."

"We are currently paying $200,000 a year for all the different parts of the suite during an ingest model Microsoft now charges us $700,000 a year."

"I think Oracle pricing is usually above average market price."

"The price of this solution is very comparative to others on the market. There is no direct comparison between this solution and with something else because I do not see any other similar product."

"The tool is not cheap, but it is not really expensive."
