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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is a scalable product."

"The performance of the tool is valuable."

"I would rate Oracle Exadata Express Cloud Service ten out of ten for its overall solution."

"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."

"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."

"The solution is very stable and offers great performance."

"I highly recommend Oracle Exadata Express Cloud Service as a very good solution if you can afford it."

More Oracle Exadata Express Cloud Service pros

"The solution's technical support is good."

"The product's feature of data transaction works fast."

"The most valuable feature is asynchronous calls, which are easy to configure."

"The product's reliability is the most valuable feature."

"Very sophisticated routing control and priority messaging capabilities"

"It can be configured to be a very fast message broker. I like the stability, the built-in admin tools and plugin architecture."

"Large amounts of data can be moved pretty fast using the solution."

"The most valuable feature is that it's really customizable."

Cons

"The product's installation process needs improvement. It could be more accessible."

"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 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."

"We use artificial intelligence for deep learning, and it would be a huge benefit to implement this in Oracle Exadata."

"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 support must be faster."

"Oracle's support could be better."

"The only downside is the difficulty in monitoring, and that's why I would like to implement MySQL database."

More Oracle Exadata Express Cloud Service cons

"The debugging capabilities and testing flexibilities need to be improved."

"they need to interact more with customers. They need to explain the features, especially when there are new releases of Greenplum. I know just from information I've found that it has other features, it can be used to for analytics, for integration with Big Data, Hadoop. They need to focus on this part with the customer."

"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."

"The support feature could benefit from some improvement in terms of accessibility and responsiveness."

"The user interface could be improved."

"It doesn't have any GUI-based monitoring tools."

"One of the disadvantages, not a disadvantage with the product itself, but overall, is the expertise in the marketplace. It's not easy to find a Greenplum administrator in the market, compared to other products such as Oracle."

"The product is pretty hard to configure."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"The tool is not cheap, but it is not really expensive."

"I think Oracle pricing is usually above average market price."

"This is an open source solution."

"The product is available for free use since it is an open-source technology."

"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."

"We are using the open-source version of this solution."

"On a scale of one to five, with five being the most competitive pricing, I would rate this solution as a four."

"It’s an open-source solution."

"are using the open-source version, which can be used free of cost."

"It is an open-source product."
