"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."
"Oracle is known to be the number one in their industry; the help and support, the features they are giving the clients comparing to other databases, the new technology, the provide a good solution."
"It has improved the performance, now we run with more performance cores with less CPU to attend all the database demands. Reducing Time to Market, increase our ability to face the competition with speed and low cost."
"The performance on the databases is good."
"Parallelism is the most valuable feature."
"The technical support team are real professionals. I admire their technical skills and supports. Their supports are really admirable."
"The product is flexible."
"The hardware usage and speed has been the most valuable feature of this solution. It is very fast and has saved us a lot of money."

"It maximizes cloud economics with Eon Mode by scaling cluster size to meet variable workload demands."
"The most valuable feature is Vertica's performance and the ease of using the database."
"Initiate on one node, and the RPM propagates automatically to all other nodes. "
"The fast columnar store database structure allows our query times to be at least 10x faster than on any other database."
"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."
"Integrated R and geospatial functions are helping us improve efficiency and explore new revenue streams. "
"I liked Spark, but it was discontinued when Exadata L6 came back. I loved it, and I wish they would bring back Spark integration."
"The integration with third-party applications regarding access management security could be better."
"The solution's pricing is very high."
"I would like to see more database features and maybe more archiving features, because we need to do data archiving."
"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 solution could always be more stable and more reliable."
"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 scalability can be improved as it is not a parallel execution."
"It would be great if this were a managed service in AWS."
"There are a lot of limitations within this product and it makes things extremely hard for developers. It lacks Stored Procedure, packages, and triggers like other RDBMs."
"Whatever's out, the core is not always as great as the engine, especially their first version."
"They could improve on customer service."
"The integration with AI has room for improvement."
"Very bad support, I would rate it two out of 10."
"Metadata for database files scale okay, but metadata related to tables/columns/sequences must be stored on all nodes."
"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."
