We performed a comparison between Microsoft Parallel Data Warehouse and Oracle Exadata Express Cloud Service based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Warehouse solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It performs very well overall."
"The data transmissions between the data models is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature is the business intelligence (BI) part of it."
"The UI is very simple and functional for my clients, most of the clients that use the solution are not experts."
"It is not a pricey product compared to other data warehouse solutions."
"The solution's integration is good."
"Microsoft Parallel Data Warehouse provides good firewall processing in terms of response time."
"The most valuable feature for me is querying."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"It is a scalable product."
"The performance of the tool is valuable."
"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."
"I would like the ability to do more real-time type updates instead of batch-oriented updates."
"The feature updates on the on-premise solution come very slowly, and it would be great if they came faster."
"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."
"If the database is large with a lot of columns then it is difficult to clean the data."
"We'd like to see it be a bit more compatible with other solutions."
"Some compatibility issues occur during deployment, so we need to build the product from scratch for some features."
"The product must provide more frequent updates."
"Sometimes, the product requires rolling back to its previous version during a software update. This particular area could be enhanced."
"The product's installation process needs improvement. It could be more accessible."
"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."
"Oracle's support could be better."
"The solution's pricing could be improved."
"The support must be faster."
"The only downside is the difficulty in monitoring, and that's why I would like to implement MySQL database."
"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."
"We use artificial intelligence for deep learning, and it would be a huge benefit to implement this in Oracle Exadata."
