"The Oracle database is able to get the data, process it, and return it to the company's CEO's and CFO's within a single day, and thus they are able to find out yesterday's P and L by today. It has drastically reduced the amount and time of processing from seven days to one day.""We use the solution for our Java applications.""Oracle Database Appliance provides high stability.""Easy management (it saves a lot of installation and patching time).""The performance of the system is the solution's most valuable aspect. In combination with the database, it gives perfect results. It's a better system than using other kinds of integrated systems. In general, the ODA control is much simpler to use and offers up the best performance.""The solution is simple to use and easy to maintain.""The tool is a specific and effective system. I am impressed with its usability.""Oracle Database Appliances are specifically designed for Oracle databases. They have built-in utilities and tools that simplify management, making them the best option for Oracle database management systems."

Cons
"From a technical perspective, Big Data Appliance could be improved with more innovation in the AI and machine-learning parts instead of relying on Cloudera.""It seems like the deployment of repositories has become more difficult in later versions of the product rather than easier.""The product should be simplified for the average user."

"I would rate the scalability a seven out of ten. It has some problems. Databases are huge. This leads to needing more and more RAM and capacity resources, making it hard to scale. Because of this, we use Exadata. That's definitely a point for improvement.""The feature that I would like to see improve is the interface. It is really not good. I almost have to work on script by script in it. There is always some issue with the user interface.""The product's pricing is too high. We plan to migrate to another database in three to four years.""We would like the ability to add more storage without having to upgrade to Oracle Exadata.""Technical support is not so great. It could be much better. The maintenance, for an enterprise system, isn't so great. It's also extremely expensive.""It would be beneficial to have dedicated RAM included in the Oracle Database Appliance.""The solution's initial setup is not easy.""The product's technical support services need improvement."
