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

"We do see very good performance, at least 30% better performance in our overall response time when we use Exadata."
"It's about consolidation of my infrastructure, scalability, high performance, and availability."
"The most valuable feature is the time to solution."
"We can use virtualization on Exadata."
"The product is very, very stable and mature."
"The tool performs well with a large database."
"Exadata as a platform is a complete solution, where you have CPU memory with an additional server and inter-cell storage."
"If you are running Oracle databases, this is the best solution."
"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."
"You can create your own rules that include mathematic calculations."
"The solution has a powerful aggregating feature"
 

Cons

"Yes, I have actually. Kind of hit and miss. It depends, I guess, on the support engineer really. I think I got more misses than hits."
"Price. Extremely expensive."
"We used the support from Oracle Exadata to complete the implementation."
"Currently, it is not scalable; we carried out a benchmark against another company's product, where Oracle took about 14 hours and that company's product took only thirty minutes."
"There is one aspect to Exadata that I dislike, and that's the inconsistency with other databases."
"Customer Service: Oracle Support Services should be improved. The customer has seen more and more discussions within the Oracle Support Groups indicating that support has done more and more finger-pointing, which doesn't help the customer to fix problems."
"Customer Service: Platinum support services supplied with the Exadata is worthless."
"The performance could be improved."
"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."
"The solution's setup could be quicker and easier."
"Improvements need to be made on the load balancing side."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution’s cost is a little bit more than the traditional databases."
"In the sizing phase, you can also decide whether to license all cores, or reduce the number cores using capacity-on-demand features of Exadata, as well. This has a direct impact on licensing."
"We pay for an annual license and it is expensive."
"There is an annual license to use this solution. The solution is expensive."
"I think it's free."
"The cost of the solution is high."
"The pricing of Oracle Exadata is too high."
"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 solution might be considered a bit expensive because it competes with open-source products."
