"Microsoft Parallel Data Warehouse provides good firewall processing in terms of response time."
"The Oracle database is able to get the data, process it, and return it to the company's CEO's and CFO's within a single day, and thus they are able to find out yesterday's P and L by today. It has drastically reduced the amount and time of processing from seven days to one day."
"The solution is simple to use and easy to maintain."
"I give it a nine out of 10 because it gives the customer easy access to a complete database solution within 30 minutes."
"The product’s valuable feature is its capability to pre-configure and pre-install the settings."
"The performance due to the all-flash of ODA is very nice."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is the ability to combine all the data without the need for additional devices."
"The product is very light."
"It could be made more user-friendly for business users which would increase the user base."
"Concurrent queries are limited to 32, making it more of a data storage mechanism instead of an active DWH solution."
"In the future I would love to see a slightly better automation engine, just for the data integration layer, to make it slightly easier for end-users or junior developers to get involved in incremental updating."
"I would like the ability to do more real-time type updates instead of batch-oriented updates."
"We find the cost of the solution to be a little high."
"The product does not have all of the features that the native products have."
"Some compatibility issues occur during deployment, so we need to build the product from scratch for some features."
"The feature updates on the on-premise solution come very slowly, and it would be great if they came faster."
"Oracle could improve its capacity for built-in visualization."
"The tool's setup can be easier."
"Oracle Database Appliance could improve by having better integration."
"The product is quite complex to set up, initially. It would be ideal if it was simpler."
"They could incorporate a more secure and internet-centric management system for the platform."
"The main thing would be to make ODA more affordable, to make it a more economical machine. Also, I would like to see virtualization, so you could implement all of your functions on one machine. Finally, improvement in the speed and performance would be good."
"In my opinion only one single command should be used for all ODA models, as it’s confusing."
"Oracle Database Appliance patching comes out two to three months after the regular patching cycle."
