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."What I like best about Oracle Exadata is its good performance. It's also a very fast solution."
"It is a highly relevant option with extreme performance."
"Oracle has reliable solutions and this one is no different."
"The offloading of data to the SIM is a valuable feature."
"It is a scalable solution."
"Exadata with the In-Memory option is several levels about SAP HANA."
"The most valuable feature is storage offloading."
"The data replication is very good."
"The column-based technologies (basically all the database for ITP) are used for SAP IQ. It is used as a column-based solution."
"It is very robust for ad hoc DW queries and its columnar compression is unique and valuable."
"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."
"Valuable features for us include the compression, speed, fast response time, and easy object maintenance."
"Unbeatable speed and compression with a colummn-structured relational database."
"It's too expensive per terabyte. It's complex."
"License or upgrade management can be difficult and time consuming because it requires login to a separate console."
"There is room for improvement with the handling of the Temp IO, which is often used for JOIN statements."
"Exadata would be improved with single dashboard visibility."
"Since the product is an appliance, it is very costly."
"There's room for improvement in terms of deployment, as it could be made faster and more user-friendly."
"I liked Spark, but it was discontinued when Exadata L6 came back. I loved it, and I wish they would bring back Spark integration."
"Certification should also be improved. Today, Oracle doesn't certify applications with engineered systems."
"The solution works best when combined with other SAP solutions. If the environment has other systems other options might be better."
"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."
"I think the universe should be part of the Sybase IQ tool set."
"Concurrency and functional error messaging."
"The organization who owns the product does not support it well and appears not to be doing significant development for the future."
"The room for improvement would be the marketing of the product, because this product is much better than advertised."
