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."Oracle has reliable solutions and this one is no different."
"Exadata's best features are its performance during redo logging and the elasticity of the database handling."
"The product is flexible."
"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."
"The performance of the data is the most important part."
"On-premises Exadata is just as stable as the cloud version. It's a very stable platform."
"Parallelism is the most valuable feature."
"Oracle Exadata has very good hardware."
"Columnar storage allows high compression, high load rates and high query performance."
"Unbeatable speed and compression with a colummn-structured relational database."
"It is very robust for ad hoc DW queries and its columnar compression is unique and valuable."
"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."
"The column-based technologies (basically all the database for ITP) are used for SAP IQ. It is used as a column-based solution."
"Valuable features for us include the compression, speed, fast response time, and easy object maintenance."
"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."
"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 customization can sometimes be difficult to achieve."
"License or upgrade management can be difficult and time consuming because it requires login to a separate console."
"The integration with third-party applications regarding access management security could be better."
"We used the support from Oracle Exadata to complete the implementation."
"There's room for improvement in terms of deployment, as it could be made faster and more user-friendly."
"The solution's pricing is very high."
"The room for improvement would be the marketing of the product, because this product is much better than advertised."
"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."
"I think the universe should be part of the Sybase IQ tool set."
"Concurrency and functional error messaging."
"The solution works best when combined with other SAP solutions. If the environment has other systems other options might be better."
