We performed a comparison between Amazon Redshift and Oracle Exadata Express Cloud Service 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."The solution has very competitive pricing."
"Redshift allows you to transform different data formats and consolidate them into one Redshift cluster. This means you can transform various siloed data sources like Excel files and CSV files into Redshift."
"Though Amazon Redshift is good, it depends on what kind of business you're trying to do, what type of analytics you need, and how much data you have."
"The main benefit is that our portal for end users is running in AWS, so we can easily connect it to other AWS services."
"Easy to build out our snowflake design and load data."
"Has a very user-friendly SQL editor and it's very easy to use the connectors."
"I find the most valuable features to be the MPP style of processing, which mostly all of the data warehouses provide. The ability to integrate all other AWS services, such as NSS and S3, with little effort is very helpful. The service is well maintained, there are update patches frequently."
"Changing from local servers to the cloud is very easy. It's so nice not to have to worry about physical servers."
"Having the prediction happen in the modular format allows you to start with a lower version of Exadata and then you can keep on upgrading it as per your requirement."
"The performance of the tool is valuable."
"It is a scalable product."
"The solution is very stable and offers great performance."
"I like that Oracle Exadata Express Cloud Service is easier to use and is a cost-saving solution because you won't need to hire people to run and maintain it."
"One of the most valuable parts of the solution is the high availability within the system and the performance enhancement without making any changes or fine-tuning the databases."
"In the cloud, Exadata is more scalable. The on-prem version was limited. It wasn't that scalable because it only came in a quarter rack, half rack, and full rack. In the cloud, it scales to what you need."
"Should be made available across zones, like other Multi-AZ solutions."
"In the next release, a pivot function would be a big help. It could save a lot of time creating a query or process to handle operations."
"The solution could improve in handling more data formats and more native support for RDF."
"The solution has four maintenance windows so, when it comes to stability, I think it would be better to decrease their number."
"The customer support could be more responsive."
"The technical support should be better in terms of their knowledge, and they should be more customer-friendly."
"In our experiments, the handling of unstructured data was not very smooth."
"The solution is unable to work fast."
"Oracle's support could be better."
"Scaling Oracle Exadata Express Cloud Service can be done, but the process is a little tedious, which could be an area for improvement in the solution."
"The only downside is the difficulty in monitoring, and that's why I would like to implement MySQL database."
"The customer's default choice is the on-premise version of this solution. Only when Oracle or the partners like us, can explain to customers the cloud value proposition, and if the compliance authorities allow, they can look into this cloud solution. It will take some time for Oracle to change its perception of customers' de-facto standards. Exadata used to be treated as a black box, which is not the case now. The customer is aware of what is happening inside, how the configurations have been made, and what patching has been applied. Oracle needs to market the cloud version better."
"The solution's pricing could be improved."
"The support must be faster."
"The product's installation process needs improvement. It could be more accessible."
"We use artificial intelligence for deep learning, and it would be a huge benefit to implement this in Oracle Exadata."
