Provides clean, centralized data
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. Oracle could also improve Big Data Appliance by having one technology on their stack and working on it instead of continually changing the name or technologies or features. In addition, they could have a program to enable their partners to use this technology because right now, I have to have an expert to use the AI elements.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The best thing about the product is that the end-user can build the reports by themselves without really knowing anything about databases."
"This is a comprehensive solution that is easy to deploy."
"Because Big Data Appliance allows me to have a single source of truth, it means I have clean data that can be monetized and leveraged to gain more insights with real-time reports from the dashboard."
"The solution improved our site reliability."
"The solution's best feature is its exceptional speed, delivering efficient utilization of resources."
"It's one of the fastest databases in the market. It's easy to use. From a maintenance perspective it's a good product. The segmentation, or architecture of the product is different than other databases such as Oracle. So even in 10 years, the data distribution for such segments will not affect other segments. The query performance of the product, for complex queries, is very good. It has good integration with Hadoop."
"The most valuable feature for me is that it is open source. The licensing costs are really low and they are transparent."
"Very sophisticated routing control and priority messaging capabilities"
"The product is not complex; I do not have to create stored procedures, functions, or views."
"RabbitMQ provides access to SDKs for development and the ability to raise and log tickets if we encounter issues. We can integrate RabbitMQ using various languages like Java or Python using the provided SDKs."
"The product's feature of data transaction works fast."
 

Cons

"The product should be simplified for the average user."
"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."
"I would like to see the performance of the administration portal improved and additional messaging protocols."
"The product is pretty hard to configure."
"Implementation takes a long time."
"Lacks sufficient inbuilt machine-learning functions for complex use cases."
"There are some security concerns that have been raised with this product."
"This solution struggled with multi-regional synchronization."
"I was struggling with installing a few things. It would be good if was somewhat similar to RedHat. There should be more documentation regarding installation troubleshooting."
"Other tools besides RabbitMQ provide good TPS and HA."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Oracle's prices are too high compared to others in the market."
"On a scale of one to five, with five being the most competitive pricing, I would rate this solution as a four."
"The pricing for RabbitMQ is reasonable. It is worth the cost."
"Tanzu Greenplum's pricing is really competitive and gives excellent value for money."
"It is an open-source platform. Although, we have to pay for additional features."
"The price is pretty good."
"The solution's pricing is cost-effective as it does not involve significant expenses. Licensing is required only for the server, while clients do not need any licensing. Therefore, it proves to be a cost-efficient option."
"It is an open-source product."
"The product is available for free use since it is an open-source technology."
