"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 the time to solution."
"What I like most about Oracle Exadata is its smart scan feature. I also like that it supports higher capacities and it's high-performing, so my company can use Oracle Exadata for massive databases."
"What I found most valuable in Oracle Exadata is its newer technology that gives better performance. It has more recent hardware and significant changes in the architecture, so it's better than older solutions."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Exadata is the smart scan. We have large TB sessions of approximately 100 per second for each of our three instances. The smart scan allows us the obtain data in time in the enterprise manager."
"Exadata's best features are its performance during redo logging and the elasticity of the database handling."
"The business intelligence is very good."
"Eighty percent of the ETL operations have improved since implementing this solution."
"Vertica is a great product because customers can compress and code data. The infrastructure that data warehouse solutions need is a commodity server so that customers don't have to invest in infrastructure."
"The fast columnar store database structure allows our query times to be at least 10x faster than on any other database."
"For me, It's performance, scalability, low cost, and it's integrated into enterprise and big data environments."
"Vertica is a columnar database, this support our developments in analytics, advanced analytics, and ETL process with large sets of data."
"The solution has great capabilities. The tool that instructs the internal database forward is easy to use and is very powerful."
"It's the fastest database I have ever tested. That's the most important feature of Vertica."
"The performance is very good and the aggregate records are fast."
"The performance could be improved."
"I believe Oracle must improve its procedure to support the clients. The customer Ready Service must provide more use cases and benchmarks of their infrastructure to support client design decisions. Oracle must audit their partners regularly to guarantee they provide quality service even after been passed on partnership examination."
"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."
"I have found Oracle Exadata to be scalable. However, you have to purchase more hardware, such as memory."
"Setting up Exadata is complex. You need an Oracle vendor or someone who is Oracle-certified to set it up."
"License or upgrade management can be difficult and time consuming because it requires login to a separate console."
"The integration with third-party applications regarding access management security could be better."
"Oracle Exadata could improve by having faster data retrieval. We receive data at four or five seconds and want to reduce that number to one second."
"Vertica seems to scale well, except for one use case where you are on a multi-node cluster. For example, if you had a nine-node cluster, one node goes down, then the eight nodes don't scale, because the absence of the node is very apparent, which is a problem. If you have nine nodes or multiple nodes, the whole idea is that if one of those nodes goes down, then you should not see an impact on the system if you have enough capacity. Even though we have enough capacity, you can still see the impact of the one node going down."
"The geospatial functionality could be designed better."
"Vertica can improve automation and documentation. Additionally, the solution can be simplified."
"Some of our small to medium-sized customers would like to see containerization and flexibility from the deployment standpoint."
"We faced some challenges when trying to use the temporary tables feature."
"Promotion/marketing must be improved, even though it is a very useful product at very good price, it is not as "popular" as it should be."
"I have found that coding support could be simplified."
"They could improve on customer service."
