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."I loved the simplicity of loading the data and simply relying on the self-tuning capabilities of ADW."
"I really like the auto-tuning, auto-scaling, and the automatic load balancing and query tuning in the system."
"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."
"A very good integration feature that restricts access to unauthorized people."
"The performance and scalability are awesome."
"The analytics have been very good. We've found them to be quite useful."
"The solution is self-securing. All data is encrypted and security updates and patches are applied automatically both periodically and off-cycle."
"Exadata is also a very stable environment. Their Smart Scan feature is great for every banking environment and financial institutions willing to implement it."
"Oracle Exadata's performance is one of its best features. We very satisfied with it."
"They just have a lot of products, and they work well together."
"What I found most valuable in Oracle Exadata is its newer technology that gives better performance. It has more recent hardware and significant changes in the architecture, so it's better than older solutions."
"Compression is a great feature, where one can really save a lot of storage."
"The performance on the databases is good."
"Oracle Exadata is stable."
"The storage capacity and the performance of Oracle Exadata are good. When comparing the performance to other technologies it is very good. I am satisfied with the management of the solution."
"Ease of connectivity could be improved."
"My main suggestion for Oracle is the configuration and key values that come for JSON files. When we create a table, especially if you see in our RedShift or some other stuff, if I create a table on top of a JSON file with multiple array columns or superset columns, those column values create some difficulty in Oracle."
"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."
"The solution lacks visibility options."
"I would like to see an on-premise solution in the future."
"They should make the solution more user-friendly."
"It doesn't work well when you have unstructured data or you need online analytics. It is not as nice as Hadoop in these aspects."
"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."
"Exadata would be improved with single dashboard visibility."
"The handling of temp space has room for improvement."
"The management monitoring tools are quite important and an area that needs some improvement."
"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 technical support is in need of improvement."
"The solution's pricing is very high."
