Enhances performance without fine tuning databases
They need to simplify the monitoring of the Exadata services. They have to make it more simple for the users to operate or manage. And one more thing, I would expect that other databases of Oracle, like MySQL Enterprise Edition, if technologically, Oracle makes some advancement and allows MySQL Enterprise Edition to run on Exadata, I think that will improve their market share exponentially. Today, on Exadata, you run Oracle databases, which is given. Apart from that, Oracle also has Oracle MySQL database, open source. If that open-source database also runs on Exadata, I think that will help a lot of customers. In the next release, Oracle can provide a script-level solution to migrate or consolidate cross-platform databases from Unix platform to Oracle Exadata on Linux platform; if they can provide some migration tools, I think that will help.

Create essential reporting scripts with simplicity but has some operational challenges
We mainly create functions and scripts required for reporting The product is not complex; I do not have to create stored procedures, functions, or views. It's just simple to use. There is general room for improvement. I have been using it for five years. I have faced stability issues, mainly…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The performance of the tool is valuable."
"I highly recommend Oracle Exadata Express Cloud Service as a very good solution if you can afford it."
"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."
"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 would rate Oracle Exadata Express Cloud Service ten out of ten for its overall solution."
"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 solution is very stable and offers great performance."
"RabbitMQ will help to remove a lot of the complexities and create a loosely coupled codebase."
"The security is great."
"Large amounts of data can be moved pretty fast using the solution."
"I like the high throughput of 20K messages/sec, and that it supports multiple protocols."
"Simple and straightforward admin portals: Made it easy for users and worked out excellently for our requirements"
"We have been able to set up a messaging system that facilitates data integration between the software modules that we sell."
"Helps us to achieve large-scale analytics."
"The most valuable feature is asynchronous calls, which are easy to configure."
 

Cons

"The support must be faster."
"I feel there is a need for better integration with Google Maps and Google Earth. This is crucial for me in the geographical facilities of the environment."
"The product's installation process needs improvement. It could be more accessible."
"Oracle's support could be better."
"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."
"The only downside is the difficulty in monitoring, and that's why I would like to implement MySQL database."
"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."
"This solution struggled with multi-regional synchronization."
"Extra filters would be helpful."
"The user interface could be improved."
"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."
"Tanzu Greenplum's compression for GPText could be made more efficient."
"If you have a user consuming a huge load of resources, it takes down the entire system."
"VMware RabbitMQ's configuration process could be easier to understand."
"VMware Tanzu Greenplum needs improvement in the memory area and improved methods for quick access to the disc. So, one of the quick goals of Greenplum must work on enhancing access to the disc by adding hints in the database."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is not cheap, but it is not really expensive."
"The price of this solution is very comparative to others on the market. There is no direct comparison between this solution and with something else because I do not see any other similar product."
"I think Oracle pricing is usually above average market price."
"Since the tool is an open-source product, there is no need to pay anything."
"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’s an open-source solution."
"Pricing is good compared to other products. It's fine."
"On a scale of one to five, with five being the most competitive pricing, I would rate this solution as a four."
"This is an open source solution."
"The pricing for RabbitMQ is reasonable. It is worth the cost."
"It is the best product with best fit for price/performance customer objectives."
