"The data replication is very good."
"Oracle has reliable solutions and this one is no different."
"This product can noticeably enhance performance of contextual Oracle databases."
"We can use virtualization on Exadata."
"On-premises Exadata is just as stable as the cloud version. It's a very stable platform."
"The performance of the data is the most important part."
"Oracle Exadata is stable."
"I appreciate the flexibility offered by Vertica's projections. It allows for modifying the primary projection without altering the tables, which helps to optimize queries without the need to modify the underlying data."
"Allows us to take volumes and process them at a very high speed."
"The extensibility and efficiency provided by their C++ SDK."
"The most valuable feature is Vertica's performance and the ease of using the database."
"Vertica enabled us to close large deals. Customers with large data sets had to be migrated from PostgreSQL to Vertica due to performance."
"I like the projection feature, which increases query performance."
"Vertica's most outstanding features are the compression rates achieved and the speed of access of high volume data."
"Vertica is a columnar database, this support our developments in analytics, advanced analytics, and ETL process with large sets of data."
"The performance could be improved."
"The management monitoring tools are quite important and an area that needs some improvement."
"Certification should also be improved. Today, Oracle doesn't certify applications with engineered systems."
"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."
"A room for improvement in Oracle Exadata is that it's not very easy to use in a microservices environment. It's not easy to split databases, and if this was easier to do in Oracle Exadata, it would make the solution better. What I'd like to see in the next release of Oracle Exadata is for it to become more modular, so you can use it in a context where the data layer is spread between many independent services."
"Oracle Exadata could improve the platform performance tuning should be easier, automated, and user-friendly."
"We had issues with system restoration."
"Checking the Smart Scan issues is complicated."
"It needs integration with multiple clouds."

"Limitations in group by projections is where I would like to see an improvement."
"Some of our small to medium-sized customers would like to see containerization and flexibility from the deployment standpoint."
"Monitoring tools need to be lightweight. They should not take up heavy resources of the main server."
"Whatever's out, the core is not always as great as the engine, especially their first version."
"Vertica can improve automation and documentation. Additionally, the solution can be simplified."
"Suboptimal projection design causes queries to not scale linearly."
