We performed a comparison between Oracle Exadata and Snowflake Analytics based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Data Warehouse solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Oracle is easy to use for peripheral things, such as the data vault and the data firewall, data sync, and partitions. These are the features that give an edge to other databases."
"The most valuable feature is that you have the same familiar environment of an Oracle database but with the additional performance you get from this architecture."
"The tool's performance is good."
"They just have a lot of products, and they work well together."
"The performance of the data is the most important part."
"The product is flexible."
"Regarding features, there are so many that we can offer to customers. When we sell Exadata Cloud, there are many options to choose from, especially when it comes to enterprise database options. In my experience, the main features that are appreciated are various ones like GPS and the assortment of security options."
"The offloading of data to the SIM is a valuable feature."
"The most valuable features of Snowflake for our data analytics are its time travel capability, allowing easy data recovery, and its automatic optimization of partitioning and clustering."
"Snowflake Analytics' most valuable feature is its inbuilt infrastructure for executing queries, which I don't have to manage based on my data volume as it's taken care of by Snowflake."
"One of the valuable features is the solution’s time travel capability. The solution is highly stable. The solution is highly scalable. The initial setup is straightforward, and the deployment process is quick and efficient. I recommend the solution. Overall, I rate it a perfect ten."
"Very good flexibility and it offers computation completely decoupled from the storage."
"One of the key advancements in Snowflake Analytics is data sharing."
"It helps with business intelligence by providing analytics that can be reported."
"The performance has been good."
"It's a scalable solution because you can analyze a huge amount of data in the solution."
"Certification should also be improved. Today, Oracle doesn't certify applications with engineered systems."
"The integration with third-party applications regarding access management security could be better."
"Checking the Smart Scan issues is complicated."
"Oracle Exadata could improve by having faster data retrieval. We receive data at four or five seconds and want to reduce that number to one second."
"One small area for improvement in Oracle Exadata is integration, particularly at the consolidated application level."
"Since the product is an appliance, it is very costly."
"We need a monitoring tool which can in one place, where we can manage, monitor the entire Exadata components."
"Oracle Exadata could improve the monitoring system in the enterprise manager, it could be more user-friendly. In most Oracle tools there is a lot of functionality, and sometimes you need to do five or six clicks to find metrics, and sometimes it's a waste of time."
"The UI must be improved."
"The solution’s scalability could be improved."
"Snowflake's Snowpark is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The platform's data governance space needs more capability."
"Integration into different Python and Jupyter notebooks needs to be improved."
"The product's cost is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The solution's high price can be an area of concern that needs improvement."
"A room for improvement in Snowflake Analytics is Spark, particularly its connector for Spark. An additional feature I'd like to see in the next release of the solution is built-in analytics."
