We performed a comparison between Dremio and Oracle Database Appliance 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."Dremio allows querying the files I have on my block storage or object storage."
"Dremio enables you to manage changes more effectively than any other data warehouse platform. There are two things that come into play. One is data lineage. If you are looking at data in Dremio, you may want to know the source and what happened to it along the way or how it may have been transformed in the data pipeline to get to the point where you're consuming it."
"Everyone uses Dremio in my company; some use it only for the analytics function."
"Dremio gives you the ability to create services which do not require additional resources and sterilization."
"We primarily use Dremio to create a data framework and a data queue."
"The most valuable feature of Dremio is it can sit on top of any other data storage, such as Amazon S3, Azure Data Factory, SGFS, or Hive. The memory competition is good. If you are running any kind of materialized view, you'd be running in memory."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the ability to combine all the data without the need for additional devices."
"The product is very light."
"Easy management (it saves a lot of installation and patching time)."
"The solution is simple to use and easy to maintain."
"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 most valuable feature of Oracle Database Appliance is the ease of management."
"The initial setup was straightforward and quick - I was able to configure everything within an hour."
"Oracle Database Appliance is a stable solution. We have clients that have been running it for 10 years."
"I cannot use the recursive common table expression (CTE) in Dremio because the support page says it's currently unsupported."
"We've faced a challenge with integrating Dremio and Databricks, specifically regarding authentication. It is not shaking hands very easily."
"It shows errors sometimes."
"Dremio doesn't support the Delta connector. Dremio writes the IT support for Delta, but the support isn't great. There is definitely room for improvement."
"Dremio takes a long time to execute large queries or the executing of correlated queries or nested queries. Additionally, the solution could improve if we could read data from the streaming pipelines or if it allowed us to create the ETL pipeline directly on top of it, similar to Snowflake."
"They have an automated tool for building SQL queries, so you don't need to know SQL. That interface works, but it could be more efficient in terms of the SQL generated from those things. It's going through some growing pains. There is so much value in tools like these for people with no SQL experience. Over time, Dermio will make these capabilities more accessible to users who aren't database people."
"The license cost could be cheaper, especially for long-term contracts."
"Oracle Database Appliance could improve by having better integration."
"Since we don't have the room to scale up, I rate this solution a six out of ten for scalability."
"The main thing would be to make ODA more affordable, to make it a more economical machine. Also, I would like to see virtualization, so you could implement all of your functions on one machine. Finally, improvement in the speed and performance would be good."
"Oracle Database Appliance patching comes out two to three months after the regular patching cycle."
"Oracle's product support is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The product is quite complex to set up, initially. It would be ideal if it was simpler."
"Oracle could improve its capacity for built-in visualization."
