"Complete management occurs from one single address instead of different servers."
"The technical support team are real professionals. I admire their technical skills and supports. Their supports are really admirable."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Exadata is the integration with other solutions, such as SAN storage and shared VLAN network."
"Backup/Restore performance: Fast backups, fast restores (especially useful for creating clone environments)."
"This product can noticeably enhance performance of contextual Oracle databases."
"The ease of setup is an eight out of ten."
"Vertica is a columnar database, this support our developments in analytics, advanced analytics, and ETL process with large sets of data."
"Allows us to take volumes and process them at a very high speed."
"The most valuable feature of Vertica is the unmatchable database performance."
"Vertica has a few features that I like. From an architecture standpoint, they have separated compute and storage. So you have low-cost object storage for primary storage and the ability to have several sub-clusters working off the same ObjectStore. So it provides workload isolation."
"The performance is very good and the aggregate records are fast."
"The product's initial setup phase is extremely simple."
"The most valuable feature of Vertica is the ability to receive large aggregations at a very quick pace. The use case of subclusters is very good."
"Vertica gives knowledgeable users and DBAs excellent tools for tuning."
"Oracle Exadata has room for improvement in pricing, especially for smaller companies. The solution is okay for bigger companies, but for smaller companies, it isn't."
"The handling of temp space has room for improvement."
"The scalability can be improved as it is not a parallel execution."
"There is room for improvement with the handling of the Temp IO, which is often used for JOIN statements."
"The setup is a little bit complex. We would like to see the installation part get easier."
"We have a little trepidation with the system as it does have a learning curve. Also changing to a binary logging format for us feels like retrograde motion, but sadly almost all Linux variants have moved in this direction."
"Patching must be simplified."
"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."
"I think they need an easy client so that you can write queries easily, but it's not necessarily a weak point. I think some users would need them."
"They could improve the integration and some of the features in the cloud version."
"We are looking for a cheaper deployment for the solution. Although we did a lot of benchmarks, like Redshift. We tried Redshift, it didn't work. It didn't work out for us as well."
"In a future release, we would like to have artificial intelligence capabilities like neural networks. Customers are demanding this type of analytics."
"The integration of this solution with ODI could be improved."
"Very bad support, I would rate it two out of 10."
"Monitoring tools need to be lightweight. They should not take up heavy resources of the main server."
"Some of our small to medium-sized customers would like to see containerization and flexibility from the deployment standpoint."
