"Patching must be simplified."
"The solution could always be more stable and more reliable."
"The integration with third-party applications regarding access management security could be better."
"Tech support sometimes takes some time to identify and rectify issues."
"Certification should also be improved. Today, Oracle doesn't certify applications with engineered systems."
"The management monitoring tools are quite important and an area that needs some improvement."
"We need a monitoring tool which can in one place, where we can manage, monitor the entire Exadata components."
"The organization who owns the product does not support it well and appears not to be doing significant development for the future."
"There is very little documentation available."
"I think the universe should be part of the Sybase IQ tool set."
"The room for improvement would be the marketing of the product, because this product is much better than advertised."
