Have achieved excellent performance and seamless integration with effective cost control in cloud solutions

When customers are migrating from Oracle Exadata Express Cloud Service and need to remove some of their test and development environment, what happens in normal virtualization is that they can just switch it off, but in ExaCS, they need to terminate the entire thing. Most of the customers are not aware of this, so they keep spending money even if they want to shut down their UAT environment or development environment, so Oracle needs to make it simpler in terms of reducing the bill on ExaCS when customers want to shut down certain environments. Today, you have to terminate the entire VM, and only then your billing will stop. The only functionality I would expect from Oracle Exadata Express Cloud Service is that if Oracle is able to support Oracle MySQL Enterprise also on Exadata, that will solve a lot of problems.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"It has improved my organization's functionality and performance."

"It maximizes cloud economics with Eon Mode by scaling cluster size to meet variable workload demands."

"Integrated R and geospatial functions are helping us improve efficiency and explore new revenue streams. "

"Vertica gives knowledgeable users and DBAs excellent tools for tuning."

"Its analytics has enabled Pythian's clients to get the business insights as quick as they wanted. Its lower maintenance has also improved the ROI."

"Allows us to take volumes and process them at a very high speed."

"The most valuable feature is Vertica's performance and the ease of using the database."

"The initial setup was straightforward."

More OpenText Analytics Database (Vertica) pros

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

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

"It is a scalable product."

"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."

"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."

"The performance of the tool is valuable."

"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."

More Oracle Exadata Express Cloud Service pros

Cons

"The geospatial functionality could be designed better."

"Pricing could be more competitive."

"Whatever's out, the core is not always as great as the engine, especially their first version."

"In my opinion, Vertica's documentation could be improved. Currently, there is not enough documentation available to gain a comprehensive understanding of the platform."

"It should provide a GUI interface for data management and tuning."

"They could improve the integration and some of the features in the cloud version."

"We are looking for a cheaper deployment for the solution. Although we did a lot of benchmarks, like Redshift. We tried Redshift, it didn't work. It didn't work out for us as well."

"Performance of management of metadata layer (database catalog) needs improvement. We still have to have smaller customers on PostgreSQL; Vertica cannot manage thousands of schemata."

More OpenText Analytics Database (Vertica) cons

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

"The solution's pricing could be improved."

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

"Oracle's support could be better."

"The product's installation process needs improvement. It could be more accessible."

"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 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."

More Oracle Exadata Express Cloud Service cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Vertica has a perpetual license, but they are currently trying to convert all those licenses to subscription-based licenses on a yearly basis."

"The solution is relatively cost-effective."

"The pricing depends on the license model because there are several. It depends on the client, but it's cheaper than other solutions. I think it's cheap for all the functionality and robustness. It's not very expensive to deploy."

"It's an expensive product"

"Read the fine print carefully."

"The pricing and licensing depend on the size of your environment and the zone where you want to implement."

"The pricing could improve, it is a little expensive."

"The price is reasonable. We use a pay per license model. Firstly, you need to buy a license. After that, you mainly pay the annual support fee of around 20% or 25%. I think their prices are quite reasonable."

More OpenText Analytics Database (Vertica) pricing and cost advice

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

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

"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."
