We performed a comparison between Oracle Exadata and SAP IQ based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Warehouse solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."A very stable solution, which we have hardly any problems with."
"On-premises Exadata is just as stable as the cloud version. It's a very stable platform."
"It is a scalable solution."
"We can use virtualization on Exadata."
"Exadata is a fantastic machine. Two features stand out. The first is the resource input/output management tool that allows you to manage the resources to the neck on the Exadata box."
"The most valuable feature is the time to solution."
"The performance on the databases is good."
"The product is flexible."
"Columnar storage allows high compression, high load rates and high query performance."
"The primary benefit of SAP IQ is its ability to limit the expansion of the costly SAP HANA database, which has limited storage capacity. This necessitates a form of data management that involves moving data from SAP HANA to SAP NLS, which is essentially archiving. This allows us to retain access to the data via a link whenever it is required."
"The column-based technologies (basically all the database for ITP) are used for SAP IQ. It is used as a column-based solution."
"Valuable features for us include the compression, speed, fast response time, and easy object maintenance."
"It is very robust for ad hoc DW queries and its columnar compression is unique and valuable."
"Unbeatable speed and compression with a colummn-structured relational database."
"The solution takes a lot of time to clone the environment. I would like to see some improvement in the cloning support or the time it takes on the storage side."
"The management monitoring tools are quite important and an area that needs some improvement."
"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."
"The solution lacks a visualized console."
"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 have found Oracle Exadata to be scalable. However, you have to purchase more hardware, such as memory."
"The handling of temp space has room for improvement."
"Multiplex is very problematic. There are consistency problems in the metadata, meaning it is possible to lose metadata consistency. You should make sure you have healthy backups."
"The organization who owns the product does not support it well and appears not to be doing significant development for the future."
"The solution works best when combined with other SAP solutions. If the environment has other systems other options might be better."
"Concurrency and functional error messaging."
"The room for improvement would be the marketing of the product, because this product is much better than advertised."
"I think the universe should be part of the Sybase IQ tool set."
