We performed a comparison between Oracle Exadata Express Cloud Service and Teradata based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Warehouse solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution is very stable and offers great performance."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The performance of the tool is valuable."
"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."
"I like this solution's ease of design and the fact that its performance is quite good. It is stable as well."
"Auto-partitioning and indexing, and resource allocation on the fly are key features."
"The performance is great, we are able to query our data in one operation."
"A conventional and easily defined way to build a data warehouse or a layer of data marts."
"Teradata can be deployed on-premise, on the cloud, or in a virtual machine, which means customers can move without having to create their architecture all over again."
"Teradata is a great, industry-leading data warehousing product that has MPP architecture."
"Parallel processing features have helped to easily dump any size of data and retrieve data with great performance."
"It handles large amounts of information with a linear performance increase, in relation to a HW investment."
"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."
"The solution's pricing could be improved."
"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 only downside is the difficulty in monitoring, and that's why I would like to implement MySQL database."
"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."
"Oracle's support could be better."
"The product's installation process needs improvement. It could be more accessible."
"It needs a teaching web site with more training on third-party tools used for BI."
"Teradata can improve the way it handles big data and unstructured data."
"Teradata is an old data warehouse, and they're not improving in terms of new, innovative features."
"The increasing volumes of data demand more and more performance."
"The current operational approach needs improvement."
"Since I was working on the very basic, legacy systems, the memory thing was always a challenge. If Teradata is moving to the cloud, the space constraint or the memory issue that my company generally faces will eventually resolve, in time. What I'd like to see in the next release of Teradata is that it becomes full-fledged on the cloud, apart from better connectivity to various systems. For example, if I have to read or include a Python script, if I write some basic codes, I should be able to read even unstructured data. I know that it's not supported even in Snowflake, but at least semi-structured data support, if that can be a little more enhanced, that would be good."
"We tried to use case Teradata for a data warehouse system, but we had some problems in relation to the Teradata system, CDC tools, and source databases. We were unable to transfer data from HPE Integrity mainframe to Teradata."
"Limited interest and success in some areas make us hesitate about upgrading."
