We performed a comparison between Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse and Oracle Exadata 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 Autonomous Data Warehouse is used globally to deliver extreme performance on large Financial data sets."
"I loved the simplicity of loading the data and simply relying on the self-tuning capabilities of ADW."
"Self-patching and runs machine-learning across its logs all the time"
"I really like the auto-tuning, auto-scaling, and the automatic load balancing and query tuning in the system."
"The analytics have been very good. We've found them to be quite useful."
"It provides Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) capabilities by default to address data security issues."
"It is an extremely scalable solution since you can dynamically change the resources as some other cloud solutions."
"The solution is self-securing. All data is encrypted and security updates and patches are applied automatically both periodically and off-cycle."
"What I like best about Oracle Exadata is its good performance. It's also a very fast solution."
"We like the tool’s features like Smart Scan, Hybrid Columnar Compression, and the TFA."
"We have used this solution for a long period of time so it has become easy for us to query any kind of data from Oracle Exadata which has been valuable."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Exadata is the integration with other solutions, such as SAN storage and shared VLAN network."
"The most valuable feature is storage offloading."
"Compression is a great feature, where one can really save a lot of storage."
"This product can noticeably enhance performance of contextual Oracle databases."
"The data replication is very good."
"The solution lacks visibility options."
"One of the major problem is creating custom tablespace. The ADB serverless option doesn't support custom tablespace creation, which could cause issues during on-premise database migration that requires specifically named tablespace. There should be an option to create customized tablespace."
"The installation process is complex. Oracle can make the installation process better."
"It doesn't work well when you have unstructured data or you need online analytics. It is not as nice as Hadoop in these aspects."
"I would like to see Application Express and Oracle R Enterprise fully supported, and I would like to see Oracle Data Mining supported as a front end."
"I would like to see an on-premise solution in the future."
"The solution could be improved by allowing for migration tools from other cloud services, including migration from Amazon Redshift, RDS, and Aurora."
"My main suggestion for Oracle is the configuration and key values that come for JSON files. When we create a table, especially if you see in our RedShift or some other stuff, if I create a table on top of a JSON file with multiple array columns or superset columns, those column values create some difficulty in Oracle."
"We need a monitoring tool which can in one place, where we can manage, monitor the entire Exadata components."
"It would be nice to have a single click button to, say, migrate my VMware VM into the Oracle VM, or vice-versa."
"I liked Spark, but it was discontinued when Exadata L6 came back. I loved it, and I wish they would bring back Spark integration."
"The integration with third-party applications regarding access management security could be better."
"Oracle Exadata could improve the platform performance tuning should be easier, automated, and user-friendly."
"Oracle Exadata compatibility with the analytics could be better and the OBIEE could improve. Oracle BI to Exadata needs to be improved. Even if the full analytics practice for Oracle should be improved and when compared with other solutions it is weak."
"We used the support from Oracle Exadata to complete the implementation."
"It would be good if Exadata made some new features available regarding data retrieval and speed capacity functions."
