We performed a comparison between Oracle Exadata and SAP IQ based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."The most valuable feature is storage offloading."
"We like the tool’s features like Smart Scan, Hybrid Columnar Compression, and the TFA."
"Oracle Exadata has very good hardware."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Exadata is the integration with other solutions, such as SAN storage and shared VLAN network."
"Oracle has reliable solutions and this one is no different."
"It is the best solution for OLTP and data warehousing."
"Exadata with the In-Memory option is several levels about SAP HANA."
"Valuable features for us include the compression, speed, fast response time, and easy object maintenance."
"The primary benefit of SAP IQ is its ability to limit the expansion of the costly SAP HANA database, which has limited storage capacity. This necessitates a form of data management that involves moving data from SAP HANA to SAP NLS, which is essentially archiving. This allows us to retain access to the data via a link whenever it is required."
"Columnar storage allows high compression, high load rates and high query performance."
"It is very robust for ad hoc DW queries and its columnar compression is unique and valuable."
"The column-based technologies (basically all the database for ITP) are used for SAP IQ. It is used as a column-based solution."
"Unbeatable speed and compression with a colummn-structured relational database."
"The management monitoring tools are quite important and an area that needs some improvement."
"The cost of the solution is high and can be improved."
"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."
"We had issues with system restoration."
"Certification should also be improved. Today, Oracle doesn't certify applications with engineered systems."
"The integration with third-party applications regarding access management security could be better."
"We used the support from Oracle Exadata to complete the implementation."
"The customization can sometimes be difficult to achieve."
"The organization who owns the product does not support it well and appears not to be doing significant development for the future."
"Multiplex is very problematic. There are consistency problems in the metadata, meaning it is possible to lose metadata consistency. You should make sure you have healthy backups."
"The room for improvement would be the marketing of the product, because this product is much better than advertised."
"The solution works best when combined with other SAP solutions. If the environment has other systems other options might be better."
"I think the universe should be part of the Sybase IQ tool set."
"Concurrency and functional error messaging."
