"We primarily use it for OLTP, which has improved our costs."
"The solution is pretty automated, which takes out the possibility of human error."
"The database is solid."
"The product is excellent. It is simple and reliable in terms of installation and maintenance."
"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."
"I give it a nine out of 10 because it gives the customer easy access to a complete database solution within 30 minutes."
"Time Travel and Snowpipe are good features."
"It can run complex workloads with varied compute."
"I am impressed with the product's data-sharing feature."
"The advanced features like time travel, zero copy cloning and scalability have been most useful. Snowflake requires zero maintenance for Data Warehousing on the cloud system."
"Its performance speed is very good."
"It is quite a convenient tool."
"Features like the fact that the solution is very fast and available on the cloud are some of the valuable attributes of the solution."
"It ensures the optimization of the application development while maintaining the user-friendly nature of its UI."
"Oracle Database Appliance patching comes out two to three months after the regular patching cycle."
"They could incorporate a more secure and internet-centric management system for the platform."
"Virtualization features could also be improved. A web-based GUI would be a good start."
"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."
"In my opinion only one single command should be used for all ODA models, as it’s confusing."
"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."
"The product's technical support services need improvement."
"Virtualization needs improvement. It's not easy to back up the virtual machines in the Oracle VM architecture. I would also like to see native support for Veeam Backup Software."
"The platform's data governance space needs more capability."
"The solution’s interface is good but it could be improved."
"One notable absence in Snowflake's offerings is an on-premises solution."
"The UI must be improved."
"Machine learning should be improved."
"Snowflake should include a WHERE clause for building data pipelines."
"The distribution methodology isn't as strong as Bethesda or SAP HANA. It's not as strong as other competitors."
"I cannot comment on the product's stability because we are still struggling with its performance."
