Enhances performance without fine tuning databases

They need to simplify the monitoring of the Exadata services. They have to make it more simple for the users to operate or manage. And one more thing, I would expect that other databases of Oracle, like MySQL Enterprise Edition, if technologically, Oracle makes some advancement and allows MySQL Enterprise Edition to run on Exadata, I think that will improve their market share exponentially. Today, on Exadata, you run Oracle databases, which is given. Apart from that, Oracle also has Oracle MySQL database, open source. If that open-source database also runs on Exadata, I think that will help a lot of customers. In the next release, Oracle can provide a script-level solution to migrate or consolidate cross-platform databases from Unix platform to Oracle Exadata on Linux platform; if they can provide some migration tools, I think that will help.

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

Pros

"Its projections and encoding are excellent tools for tuning large volumes."

"Vertica uses advanced Azure technologies to compress raw data using indexing, allowing a large amount of data to be stored with minimal physical space. Advanced algorithms are employed in data compression."

"Speed and resiliency are probably the best parts of this product."

"Initiate on one node, and the RPM propagates automatically to all other nodes. "

"It maximize cloud economics for mission-critical big data analytical initiatives."

"We are able to integrate our Vertica data warehouse with Tableau to create numerous reports quickly and efficiently."

"The solution has great capabilities. The tool that instructs the internal database forward is easy to use and is very powerful."

"The feature of the product that is most important is the speed. I needed a columnar database, and its speed is what it's built to do, and so that's what really does differentiate Vertica from its competitors."

More OpenText Analytics Database (Vertica) pros

"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 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."

"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 solution is very stable and offers great performance."

Cons

"Suboptimal projection design causes queries to not scale linearly."

"Promotion/marketing must be improved, even though it is a very useful product at very good price, it is not as "popular" as it should be."

"I have found that coding support could be simplified."

"It's hard to make it slow for a small data volume. For large volumes, it's hard to make it work. It's also hard to make it faster, and to make it scale."

"Some of our small to medium-sized customers would like to see containerization and flexibility from the deployment standpoint."

"Very bad support, I would rate it two out of 10."

"I would personally like to see extended developer tooling suited to Vertica – think published PowerDesigner SQL dialect support."

"The biggest problem is the cost of cloud deployment."

More OpenText Analytics Database (Vertica) cons

"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."

"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."

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's free up to three nodes and 1TB, and then get in contact with their sales guys."

"It's an expensive product"

"It's difficult today to compete with open-source solutions. In these areas, there is a lot of competition and the price of this solution is a bit pricy."

"The price could be cheaper and it is best to negotiate the price."

"Read the fine print carefully."

"Vertica is an expensive tool."

"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."

"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."
