Find out in this report how the two Database as a Service solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Ease of management and the ability to oversee the statistics of your SQL."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"Its most valuable feature is that it's scalable. I can start off with a base of a lot of data and move as much as I want and it's the same as if asked to do a lot of infrastructure changes."
"I found its storage and security to be the most valuable. It was a good experience. It is also very stable and scalable, and its support is perfect."
"My suggestion to anyone thinking about this solution is to jump into it head-first!"
"What I like the most about Google Cloud SQL is that it handles the management, which allows us to concentrate on our applications."
"The most valuable features are that it's easy to use, simple, and user-friendly."
"The setup was straightforward. Just a couple of clicks, and we were done."
"Having the prediction happen in the modular format allows you to start with a lower version of Exadata and then you can keep on upgrading it as per your requirement."
"The solution is very stable and offers great performance."
"I like that Oracle Exadata Express Cloud Service is easier to use and is a cost-saving solution because you won't need to hire people to run and maintain it."
"The performance of the tool is valuable."
"In the cloud, Exadata is more scalable. The on-prem version was limited. It wasn't that scalable because it only came in a quarter rack, half rack, and full rack. In the cloud, it scales to what you need."
"It is a scalable product."
"One of the most valuable parts of the solution is the high availability within the system and the performance enhancement without making any changes or fine-tuning the databases."
"The purging of the data could be better."
"The monitoring part could be better."
"Google's technical support is good, but they tend to never reopen a case and to send us snippets from the publicly available documentation. It's not as helpful as you would expect, not just for Google Cloud SQL but for all of Google Cloud products."
"It is hard to do logging with the solution."
"The customer support should be improved."
"For data analysis, the AI area of the product has certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"The most challenging part is dealing with legacy data from your old systems and migrating it into the new setup, but once you've completed the data migration, it becomes quite convenient to use."
"I would like to see better availability of the product in different regions. It should also improve the security with encryption."
"We use artificial intelligence for deep learning, and it would be a huge benefit to implement this in Oracle Exadata."
"Scaling Oracle Exadata Express Cloud Service can be done, but the process is a little tedious, which could be an area for improvement in the solution."
"The product's installation process needs improvement. It could be more accessible."
"Oracle's support could be better."
"The customer's default choice is the on-premise version of this solution. Only when Oracle or the partners like us, can explain to customers the cloud value proposition, and if the compliance authorities allow, they can look into this cloud solution. It will take some time for Oracle to change its perception of customers' de-facto standards. Exadata used to be treated as a black box, which is not the case now. The customer is aware of what is happening inside, how the configurations have been made, and what patching has been applied. Oracle needs to market the cloud version better."
"The support must be faster."
"The only downside is the difficulty in monitoring, and that's why I would like to implement MySQL database."
"The solution's pricing could be improved."
