Executive SummaryUpdated on Dec 18, 2024

SAP NetWeaver Business Warehouse and Oracle Database Appliance are competing enterprise solutions for data management and analytics. Oracle Database Appliance often has the upper hand due to its comprehensive feature set and high availability.

Features: SAP NetWeaver Business Warehouse provides preconfigured data models, integration with SAP applications, and advanced analytics capabilities. Oracle Database Appliance offers integrated hardware and software, ease of use, scalability, and automated storage management. The main distinction is SAP's focus on SAP ecosystems integration, while Oracle offers an all-in-one database management solution.

Room for Improvement: SAP NetWeaver Business Warehouse can improve by reducing complexity in integration, enhancing customer support, and providing more seamless deployment options. Oracle Database Appliance could benefit from more flexible pricing models, improved documentation for deployment, and enhanced user interface for easier management.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: SAP NetWeaver Business Warehouse requires integration with existing SAP infrastructure, demanding more expertise and time. Oracle Database Appliance offers streamlined deployment with pre-configured hardware and software, reducing complexity. Oracle's customer service is recognized for comprehensive support, enhancing user satisfaction compared to SAP's traditional structure.

Pricing and ROI: SAP NetWeaver Business Warehouse involves significant initial setup costs related to SAP integration but promises strong ROI within SAP environments. Oracle Database Appliance has higher upfront costs but offers substantial ROI through reduced IT workload and predictive maintenance. The key difference is SAP's structured integration expenses versus Oracle's investment in scalable solutions.

Simplifies database management tasks and provides high availability and disaster recovery
Oracle Database Appliance has simplified our database management tasks. Our clients are using the solution for high availability and disaster recovery. Our overall experience with the solution was good, especially the DR. Oracle Database Appliance's integrated storage solutions have enhanced our data management. Oracle Database Appliance's integration with other solutions was straightforward. We faced compatibility issues while moving from another device to this one, and the integration was not seamless. I would recommend the solution to other users. Overall, I rate the solution an 8 out of 10.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of Oracle Database Appliance is the ease of management."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the ability to combine all the data without the need for additional devices."
"The tool is a specific and effective system. I am impressed with its usability."
"We primarily use it for OLTP, which has improved our costs."
"The product is good value for money. It is a secure solution."
"The most valuable features of the solution revolve around its performance, simplicity, and its installation phase."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of dashboarding and ease of reporting."
"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."
More Oracle Database Appliance pros
"Transformation is a valuable feature of SAP NetWeaver. I can transform the data as per my needs or my client's needs. For example, flat tables can be transformed with respect to our requirements to combine multiple modules into one single table, and we can derive analytics."
"A robust and efficient product."
"It's an excellent over-all tool for managers to analyze their business."
"The security and audit procedures are the most valuable features."
"Data modeling is a valuable feature."
"It is a robust system."
"It provides us with proof of data, we can centralize all of the information, check it, and then provide the information to our users."
 

Cons

"The product is quite complex to set up, initially. It would be ideal if it was simpler."
"In my opinion only one single command should be used for all ODA models, as it’s confusing."
"I would be happy to see the Oracle Auto Service Request (ASR) pre-installed in it instead of installing it in a separate machine."
"The solution's initial setup is not easy."
"The product's pricing is too high. We plan to migrate to another database in three to four years."
"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."
"Oracle Database Appliance could improve by having better integration."
"Since we don't have the room to scale up, I rate this solution a six out of ten for scalability."
More Oracle Database Appliance cons
"The program is difficult to learn to use"
"The product could provide more features."
"Connectors are complex, and it is difficult to understand or know which connector should be used. For instance, if I want to connect APIs, I will not be able to do it directly. I would have to go to the portal integration to get the data. Therefore, having simplified connectors will make things much easier."
"I think more integration with other applications would be perfect."
"It is difficult when your native language is not English. It is difficult for us to explain our issue and also difficult for the technical team to explain a resolution to us."
"There are performance issues in terms of scalability and availability."
"Design and modeling could be simplified."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate the pricing a four on a scale of one (high price) to ten (low cost)."
"The solution may be expensive, but when we consider the problems it solves, the stability it provides, and the fact that we don't have to buy separate parts and assemble them into a system, it becomes more affordable."
"I don’t know ODA and alternative system prices. But Oracle the database license is quite expensive and a lot of my customers plan to migrate to open source databases like PostgreSQL."
"Leverage the Pay-As-You-Grow licensing, and consider using the ODA X6-2 S/M/L models also for SE2/SE."
"In regards to licensing, it is cheaper to maintain for Oracle applications, and it's an all-in-one solution."
"The price should be lower."
"Get benefit from the capacity-on-demand features. License your cores according to your licenses."
"Compared to Oracle Exadata, Oracle Database Appliance is affordable."
More Oracle Database Appliance pricing and cost advice
"The licensing cost is high for SAP NetWeaver compared to that for other products."
"Pricing is based on the number of user IDs and tyhe user ID works across a suite of products."
"All SAP products are expensive."
