We performed a comparison between Azure Data Factory and Oracle Database Appliance 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."The function of the solution is great."
"The most valuable features of Azure Data Factory are the flexibility, ability to move data at scale, and the integrations with different Azure components."
"Its integrability with the rest of the activities on Azure is most valuable."
"The solution includes a feature that increases the number of processors used which makes it very powerful and adds to the scalability."
"Data Factory's best features are connectivity with different tools and focusing data ingestion using pipeline copy data."
"What I like best about Azure Data Factory is that it allows you to create pipelines, specifically ETL pipelines. I also like that Azure Data Factory has connectors and solves most of my company's problems."
"It is easy to integrate."
"The most valuable aspect is the copy capability."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the ability to combine all the data without the need for additional devices."
"The initial setup was straightforward and quick - I was able to configure everything within an hour."
"The performance due to the all-flash of ODA is very nice."
"Oracle has good technical support."
"Easy management (it saves a lot of installation and patching time)."
"The database is solid."
"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 performance of the system is the solution's most valuable aspect. In combination with the database, it gives perfect results. It's a better system than using other kinds of integrated systems. In general, the ODA control is much simpler to use and offers up the best performance."
"It would be better if it had machine learning capabilities."
"User-friendliness and user effectiveness are unquestionably important, and it may be a good option here to improve the user experience. However, I believe that more and more sophisticated monitoring would be beneficial."
"It's a good idea to take a Microsoft course. Because they are really helpful when you start from your journey with Data Factory."
"The support and the documentation can be improved."
"When working with AWS, we have noticed that the difference between ADF and AWS is that AWS is more customer-focused. They're more responsive compared to any other company. ADF is not as good as AWS, but it should be. If AWS is ten out of ten, ADF is around eight out of ten. I think AWS is easier to understand from the GUI perspective compared to ADF."
"The pricing scheme is very complex and difficult to understand."
"The one element of the solution that we have used and could be improved is the user interface."
"When the record fails, it's tough to identify and log."
"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."
"It would be beneficial to have dedicated RAM included in the Oracle Database Appliance."
"The license cost could be cheaper, especially for long-term contracts."
"Sometimes, we cannot upgrade or patch it easily. The performance needs to improve."
"I would rate the scalability a seven out of ten. It has some problems. Databases are huge. This leads to needing more and more RAM and capacity resources, making it hard to scale. Because of this, we use Exadata. That's definitely a point for improvement."
"They could incorporate a more secure and internet-centric management system for the platform."
"The product is quite complex to set up, initially. It would be ideal if it was simpler."
"Oracle could improve its capacity for built-in visualization."
