We performed a comparison between IBM Db2 Warehouse on Cloud and Oracle Exadata 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."The way that it scales will help a lot of customers that are stuck with Netezza boxes that can't grow any larger."
"The performance is okay as long as the volume of queries is not too high."
"It will be MPP, so performance should improve."
"The tool's performance is good."
"The tool performs well with a large database."
"The data replication is very good."
"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."
"On-premises Exadata is just as stable as the cloud version. It's a very stable platform."
"Oracle Exadata is stable."
"Exadata's best features are its performance during redo logging and the elasticity of the database handling."
"The product is flexible."
"Right now, we are implementing on ESX VMware 6.0. Support for this platform is poor. Also, one of the backup/recovery options is broken and IBM is not addressing the issue."
"Ultimately, the product itself has challenges and we are not currently satisfied with the support, either."
"Containers get corrupted very easily. Restoring them using GPFS can result in a lot of issues."
"Tech support for dashDB is awful. We usually have tickets open for three to four weeks."
"The customization can sometimes be difficult to achieve."
"One small area for improvement in Oracle Exadata is integration, particularly at the consolidated application level."
"The scalability can be improved as it is not a parallel execution."
"I would like to see more database features and maybe more archiving features, because we need to do data archiving."
"The integration with third-party applications regarding access management security could be better."
"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."
"Certification should also be improved. Today, Oracle doesn't certify applications with engineered systems."
"The improvement could be made on the hardware level as the habit in the industry is to go better and faster and larger with every iteration."
