"It is a scalable solution."
"The most valuable feature is storage offloading."
"Exadata with the In-Memory option is several levels about SAP HANA."
"It needs more compatibility with common BI tools."
"I would like the tool to support different operating systems."
"Some compatibility issues occur during deployment, so we need to build the product from scratch for some features."
"I would like the ability to do more real-time type updates instead of batch-oriented updates."
"We find the cost of the solution to be a little high."
"Sometimes, the product requires rolling back to its previous version during a software update. This particular area could be enhanced."
"In the future I would love to see a slightly better automation engine, just for the data integration layer, to make it slightly easier for end-users or junior developers to get involved in incremental updating."
"It could offer more development across the solution."
"Since we don't have the room to scale up, I rate this solution a six out of ten for scalability."
"They could incorporate a more secure and internet-centric management system for the platform."
"Virtualization features could also be improved. A web-based GUI would be a good start."
"Sometimes, we cannot upgrade or patch it easily. The performance needs to improve."
"The product's pricing is too high. We plan to migrate to another database in three to four years."
"In terms of what can be be improved, I'd say Artificial Intelligence, AI. It would be really helpful if AI was incorporated within the solution."
"The tool's setup can be easier."
"The license cost could be cheaper, especially for long-term contracts."
"The performance could be improved."
"The scalability can be improved as it is not a parallel execution."
"Oracle Exadata compatibility with the analytics could be better and the OBIEE could improve. Oracle BI to Exadata needs to be improved. Even if the full analytics practice for Oracle should be improved and when compared with other solutions it is weak."
"There is a feature for security, but it is not included in the first purchase of this solution. That means if you need to increase the security, you need to buy the security feature which doesn't come by default on these solutions."
"We had issues with system restoration."
"It's too expensive per terabyte. It's complex."
"Sometimes it takes too long time to get help with technical issues."
"There's room for improvement in terms of deployment, as it could be made faster and more user-friendly."
