Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"We selected Apache Hadoop because it is not dependent on third-party vendors.""It's good for storing historical data and handling analytics on a huge amount of data.""The ability to add multiple nodes without any restriction is the solution's most valuable aspect.""High throughput and low latency. We start with data mashing on Hive and finally use this for KPI visualization.""The scalability of Apache Hadoop is very good.""​​Data ingestion: It has rapid speed, if Apache Accumulo is used.""Since both Apache Hadoop and Amazon EC2 are elastic in nature, we can scale and expand on demand for a specific PoC, and scale down when it's done.""Apache Hadoop is crucial in projects that save and retrieve data daily. Its valuable features are scalability and stability. It is easy to integrate with the existing infrastructure."

"We primarily use it for OLTP, which has improved our costs.""I give it a nine out of 10 because it gives the customer easy access to a complete database solution within 30 minutes.""Oracle has good technical support.""We use the solution for our Java applications.""NVM Express (NVMe) solid-state drives: This technology brings outstanding I/O performance for midsize databases. We have tested it by doing POCs on customer sites and the results were quite satisfying.""The main feature is the management and manageability of the tool. We can create a VM on a laptop within a couple of clicks.""We value the appliance architecture with its “everything-in-a-box” highly standardized setup.""Oracle Database Appliances are specifically designed for Oracle databases. They have built-in utilities and tools that simplify management, making them the best option for Oracle database management systems."

Cons
"Since it is an open-source product, there won't be much support.""There is a lack of virtualization and presentation layers, so you can't take it and implement it like a radio solution.""Real-time data processing is weak. This solution is very difficult to run and implement.""In the next release, I would like to see Hive more responsive for smaller queries and to reduce the latency.""It could be more user-friendly.""The stability of the solution needs improvement.""Hadoop's security could be better.""It needs better user interface (UI) functionalities."

More Apache Hadoop Cons →

"In my opinion only one single command should be used for all ODA models, as it’s confusing.""I would be happy to see the Oracle Auto Service Request (ASR) pre-installed in it instead of installing it in a separate machine.""In terms of what can be be improved, I'd say Artificial Intelligence, AI. It would be really helpful if AI was incorporated within the solution.""Since we don't have the room to scale up, I rate this solution a six out of ten for scalability.""Technical support is not so great. It could be much better. The maintenance, for an enterprise system, isn't so great. It's also extremely expensive.""The tool's setup can be easier.""They could incorporate a more secure and internet-centric management system for the platform.""We would like the ability to add more storage without having to upgrade to Oracle Exadata."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Do take into consider that data storage and compute capacity scale differently and hence purchasing a "boxed" / 'all-in-one" solution (software and hardware) might not be the best idea."
  • "​There are no licensing costs involved, hence money is saved on the software infrastructure​."
  • "This is a low cost and powerful solution."
  • "The price of Apache Hadoop could be less expensive."
  • "If my company can use the cloud version of Apache Hadoop, particularly the cloud storage feature, it would be easier and would cost less because an on-premises deployment has a higher cost during storage, for example, though I don't know exactly how much Apache Hadoop costs."
  • "We don't directly pay for it. Our clients pay for it, and they usually don't complain about the price. So, it is probably acceptable."
  • "The price could be better. Hortonworks no longer exists, and Cloudera killed the free version of Hadoop."
  • "We just use the free version."
  • More Apache Hadoop Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Get benefit from the capacity-on-demand features. License your cores according to your licenses."
  • "Leverage the Pay-As-You-Grow licensing, and consider using the ODA X6-2 S/M/L models also for SE2/SE."
  • "In regards to licensing, it is cheaper to maintain for Oracle applications, and it's an all-in-one solution."
  • "The price should be lower."
  • "You must pay for the license."
  • "The price of the solution should be less expensive. However, they will increase the price more."
  • "I don’t know ODA and alternative system prices. But Oracle the database license is quite expensive and a lot of my customers plan to migrate to open source databases like PostgreSQL."
  • "Compared to Oracle Exadata, Oracle Database Appliance is affordable."

    Questions from the Community
    Top Answer:It's primarily open source. You can handle huge data volumes and create your own views, workflows, and tables. I can also use it for real-time data streaming.
    Top Answer:Since it is an open-source product, there won't be much support. So, you have to have deeper knowledge. You need to improvise based on that.
    Top Answer:Oracle Database Appliance provides high stability.
    Top Answer:On a scale from 1 to 10, where 1 is cheap and 10 is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing 7.5 or 8 out of 10.
    Top Answer:The solution’s pricing could be improved.

    Overview
    The Apache Hadoop project develops open-source software for reliable, scalable, distributed computing. The Apache Hadoop software library is a framework that allows for the distributed processing of large data sets across clusters of computers using simple programming models. It is designed to scale up from single servers to thousands of machines, each offering local computation and storage. Rather than rely on hardware to deliver high-availability, the library itself is designed to detect and handle failures at the application layer, so delivering a highly-available service on top of a cluster of computers, each of which may be prone to failures.

    Oracle Database Appliance is the easiest and most affordable way for small or medium-size organizations to run Oracle databases and applications and is an ideal platform for remote and edge computing environments. Customers reduce Oracle Database deployment times and management workloads using a prebuilt integrated system with management automation. As demonstrated in IDC’s business value study (PDF), Oracle Database Appliance lets customers grow revenue and control costs, delivering up to a 498% return on investment (ROI) over five years.
