Has consistently delivered high performance and aligned security while evolving with AI-driven improvements
When discussing Oracle Exadata, the main thing is the specialized database appliance, the flash cache, and the engineered machine on the database for the database itself. Overall, all the features are useful and meaningful for any database like Oracle to run the Oracle database. Regarding Smart Scan technology, it is for better performance. If a customer cannot tune their applications, this will help them to run the database and run the application without any tuning itself. Oracle Exadata's advanced compression techniques have affected my customer's data storage efficiency positively, with the feature being great, but as of now, our customer is not using that. I find its security measures align with my customer's organization, as security is aligned as per the customer's requirement. It has helped optimize performance and cost.

Standout features are real-time dashboards and powerful aggregation
This product has a powerful aggregating feature which is great. It also has its own APIs. Whenever the data comes in, it can be streamed out anywhere. It's the only solution that provides real-time dashboards. Tableau doesn't have this feature. The three variants of historical data, real-time data and predicted data from Spitfire, give more strength to LiveDatamart without any dependency on other products. The product is easy to set up with very low maintenance required.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Provides data analytics and helps with warehouse needs."
"The key capability of Exadata, which is not found in any other solution or appliance, is its enhancement specifically for databases."
"One of its most valuable features is the ease of managing infrastructure as a whole; software and hardware coming together in one place to manage all the architecture, networking, hardware, software, storage, etc."
"This product can noticeably enhance performance of contextual Oracle databases."
"It is a great investment for the large enterprise."
"The most significant gain was in the area of performance, as performance increased significantly both for OLTP and batch works, and we also saw a significant decrease in IT operations because the necessity of SQL tuning and the total work spent on administration operations decreased."
"There is really no other software solution that gives us the same quality backup and restoration like this."
"The most valuable feature is the time to solution."
"You can create your own rules that include mathematic calculations."
"The three variants of historical data, real-time data and predicted data from Spitfire, give more strength to LiveDatamart without any dependency on other products."
"The solution is mature and stable, even more so since it was acquired by TIBCO."
"The solution has a powerful aggregating feature"
 

Cons

"Oracle Exadata could improve the platform performance tuning should be easier, automated, and user-friendly."
"Not knowing how to navigate through Oracle’s support structure and escalation policies can leave you feeling stranded by the vendor."
"We definitely have noticed that technical support has gone down, unfortunately. The quality of support; it takes a lot longer to get tickets resolved than it did four years ago, when we first bought the Exadata."
"There is one aspect to Exadata that I dislike, and that's the inconsistency with other databases."
"I have found Oracle Exadata to be scalable. However, you have to purchase more hardware, such as memory."
"General perception from many customers is the cost and maintenance of Exadata Database Machine. Although Oracle recently introduced low cost storage and automated many features, still the cost and maintenance is a concern."
"Try to diminish the logging service."
"A major concern from customers is that it's very costly, but if they think about the total cost of ownership over 3-5 years, I think the total cost attests to the business readiness and it doesn't come out to be very costly."
"Improvements need to be made on the load balancing side."
"The solution's setup could be quicker and easier."
"Live Datamart runs on JVM which only holds Java and only 60 GB of data. If you try to get more out of it than that, it crashes."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The Initial investment price could use improvement"
"Oracle Exadata is costly. Its licensing should also be more versatile. Smaller companies would benefit if Oracle Exadata had lower pricing."
"You have to pay for the storage and the database in Oracle Exadata. It cost a lot, but it is worth it. It would be a benefit if we could reduce the price for the number of CPUs and extend the memory."
"The price of the solution could improve, it is expensive."
"The solution is expensive."
"The price of Oracle Exadata is expensive. It is not competitive with other solutions some of the times."
"Oracle is always costly but it's fine."
"We pay for an annual license and it is expensive."
"The solution might be considered a bit expensive because it competes with open-source products."
