Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution is self-securing. All data is encrypted and security updates and patches are applied automatically both periodically and off-cycle.""One advantage is that if you already have an Oracle Database, it easily integrates with that.""It is a very stable tool...It is an extremely scalable tool.""Self-patching and runs machine-learning across its logs all the time""It is a stable and scalable solution.""The analytics have been very good. We've found them to be quite useful.""The product is easy to use.""It provides Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) capabilities by default to address data security issues."

"The performance of the tool is valuable.""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.""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.""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.""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."

Cons
"Sometimes the solution works differently between the cloud and on-premises. It needs to be more consistent and predictable.""A lot of the tools that were previously there have now been taken away.""The initial setup was pretty complex. It was not easy.""I would like to see an on-premise solution in the future.""There is a need for more storage to be allocated, but over a period of time, it becomes impossible to reduce it after using it.""One of the major problem is creating custom tablespace. The ADB serverless option doesn't support custom tablespace creation, which could cause issues during on-premise database migration that requires specifically named tablespace. There should be an option to create customized tablespace.""The solution lacks visibility options.""Ease of connectivity could be improved."

More Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse Cons →

"The product's installation process needs improvement. It could be more accessible.""Oracle's support could be better.""We use artificial intelligence for deep learning, and it would be a huge benefit to implement this in Oracle Exadata.""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.""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 solution's pricing could be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The cost is perfect with Oracle Universal credit."
  • "ROI is high."
  • "You pay as you go, and you don't pay for services that you don't use."
  • "Cloud solutions are cheaper, but in the long run, they may not be much cheaper. They certainly have a lower initial cost. The licensing is yearly, and it is based on the size of the hardware and the number of users."
  • "The solution's cost is reasonable."
  • "On a scale from one to ten, where one is a low price and ten is a high price, I rate the pricing an eight."
  • "The licensing cost of the product can vary since you can integrate it very easily with other products or other cloud products...You pay as you use it, so it is not yearly or monthly payments to be made toward Oracle."
  • "The price depends on the configuration we choose."
  • More Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "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."
  • "I think Oracle pricing is usually above average market price."
  • "The tool is not cheap, but it is not really expensive."
