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."It's feature-rich. It has a wide range of features."
"The useability, the user interface, is very user-friendly."
"Synapse Analytics' best feature is its ability to process large files."
"Overall deployment and integration is pretty fast."
"The most valuable features are the flexibility and that it's easy to use as an end-user compared to AWS."
"The solution can scale."
"I have not used the technical support from Microsoft Azure Synapse Analytics, but I worked with the developers at Microsoft who were top-notch."
"I have been working with Microsoft, and they have been very helpful."
"Oracle has reliable solutions and this one is no different."
"The business intelligence is very good."
"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."
"Oracle is easy to use for peripheral things, such as the data vault and the data firewall, data sync, and partitions. These are the features that give an edge to other databases."
"It is a scalable solution."
"What I like most about Oracle Exadata is its smart scan feature. I also like that it supports higher capacities and it's high-performing, so my company can use Oracle Exadata for massive databases."
"A very stable solution, which we have hardly any problems with."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Exadata is the integration with other solutions, such as SAN storage and shared VLAN network."
"I would like my team to be able to build pipelines that integrate with the Azure Data Factory."
"I am a researcher. For people to be able to research a solution, there should be at least a free trial. Just advertising a product or saying that this product is better doesn't work. I would strongly recommend providing a lot of free trials and trainings. This will also help Microsoft in having more users or customers. Oracle provides some free trials. You can just go for a free trial and use your database online, which is very good."
"We'd like the solution to have more analytics capability."
"Documentation could be improved."
"The solution should offer a serverless model like Snowflake."
"It's stable, but its stability could be better. However, we understand that it's in production, and new features are getting added and upgraded, so you do get hiccups sometimes."
"The solution does not support oriented scaling in the synapse."
"Comes with a pretty steep learning curve."
"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."
"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."
"The improvement could be made on the hardware level as the habit in the industry is to go better and faster and larger with every iteration."
"In a future release, I would like to see some upgrade analysis advisors to help with a clear roadmap on steps that need to be taken and some of the automated processes."
"Checking the Smart Scan issues is complicated."
"One small area for improvement in Oracle Exadata is integration, particularly at the consolidated application level."
"There is a feature for security, but it is not included in the first purchase of this solution. That means if you need to increase the security, you need to buy the security feature which doesn't come by default on these solutions."
