Pros
"The database is solid.""The most valuable features of the solution revolve around its performance, simplicity, and its installation phase.""Oracle is a stable database.""The solution is pretty automated, which takes out the possibility of human error.""We use the solution for our Java applications.""The main feature is the management and manageability of the tool. We can create a VM on a laptop within a couple of clicks.""The initial setup was straightforward and quick - I was able to configure everything within an hour.""The most valuable feature of Oracle Database Appliance is the ease of management."

"Scalability is simple because it's an MPP database. If you need more processing power or you need more storage, you just add a few more nodes in the cluster. It works on common commodity hardware. You can use any type of server. You don't need to have proprietary hardware. It's fairly flexible.""It works very well with large database queries.""RabbitMQ provides access to SDKs for development and the ability to raise and log tickets if we encounter issues. We can integrate RabbitMQ using various languages like Java or Python using the provided SDKs.""We use VMware RabbitMQ to transfer information from one point to another.""It is easy to use. The addition of more queues and more services can be managed very easily.""A very good, open-source platform.""Companies can scale the solution, so long as they have server room.""Large amounts of data can be moved pretty fast using the solution."

Cons
"The product is quite complex to set up, initially. It would be ideal if it was simpler.""Oracle Database Appliance patching comes out two to three months after the regular patching cycle.""The setup is a bit complex.""Virtualization needs improvement. It's not easy to back up the virtual machines in the Oracle VM architecture. I would also like to see native support for Veeam Backup Software.""We would like the ability to add more storage without having to upgrade to Oracle Exadata.""Since we don't have the room to scale up, I rate this solution a six out of ten for scalability.""They could incorporate a more secure and internet-centric management system for the platform.""Virtualization features could also be improved. A web-based GUI would be a good start."

More Oracle Database Appliance Cons →

"Extra filters would be helpful.""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.""The product needs to focus on offering more use case documentation because browsing the internet to find it can be a process filled with struggles.""VMware Tanzu Greenplum needs improvement in the memory area and improved methods for quick access to the disc. So, one of the quick goals of Greenplum must work on enhancing access to the disc by adding hints in the database.""Implementing a circuit breaker scenario using RabbitMQ is complicated. This complexity arises because manual intervention is required to manage worker details and handle operations based on worker IP addresses.""I would like to see the performance of the administration portal improved and additional messaging protocols.""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 fact that a single queue can't be distributed across multiple instances/nodes is a major disadvantage."
