We performed a comparison between Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse and Oracle Exadata based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Data Warehouse solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse is used globally to deliver extreme performance on large Financial data sets."
"With Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse, things are much simpler. Creating a structure, initializing the servers, extending the servers, those are all things that are very, very easy. That's the main reason we use it."
"It is a stable and scalable solution."
"Self-patching and runs machine-learning across its logs all the time"
"The performance and scalability are awesome."
"The analytics have been very good. We've found them to be quite useful."
"It is an extremely scalable solution since you can dynamically change the resources as some other cloud solutions."
"I loved the simplicity of loading the data and simply relying on the self-tuning capabilities of ADW."
"Before using this machine, we took no less than two days to run a report. Now, we can do it within five hours. So, there is a lot of improvement."
"Exadata's best features are its performance during redo logging and the elasticity of the database handling."
"A very stable solution, which we have hardly any problems with."
"Exadata with the In-Memory option is several levels about SAP HANA."
"The tool performs well with a large database."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Exadata is the smart scan. We have large TB sessions of approximately 100 per second for each of our three instances. The smart scan allows us the obtain data in time in the enterprise manager."
"Parallelism is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature is storage offloading."
"I would like to see an on-premise solution in the future."
"The solution could be improved by allowing for migration tools from other cloud services, including migration from Amazon Redshift, RDS, and Aurora."
"It is very important the integration with other platforms be made to be as easy as it is with an on-premises deployment."
"They should make the solution more user-friendly."
"Sometimes the solution works differently between the cloud and on-premises. It needs to be more consistent and predictable."
"The initial setup was pretty complex. It was not easy."
"An improvement for us would be the inclusion of support for an internal IP, so we could use it directly with the VCN in Oracle Cloud."
"The installation process is complex. Oracle can make the installation process better."
"We used the support from Oracle Exadata to complete the implementation."
"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."
"Since the product is an appliance, it is very costly."
"A room for improvement in Oracle Exadata is that it's not very easy to use in a microservices environment. It's not easy to split databases, and if this was easier to do in Oracle Exadata, it would make the solution better. What I'd like to see in the next release of Oracle Exadata is for it to become more modular, so you can use it in a context where the data layer is spread between many independent services."
"We need a monitoring tool which can in one place, where we can manage, monitor the entire Exadata components."
"The cost of the solution is high and can be improved."
"Oracle Exadata could improve the platform performance tuning should be easier, automated, and user-friendly."
"One small area for improvement in Oracle Exadata is integration, particularly at the consolidated application level."
