"Transformation is a valuable feature of SAP NetWeaver. I can transform the data as per my needs or my client's needs. For example, flat tables can be transformed with respect to our requirements to combine multiple modules into one single table, and we can derive analytics."
"It provides us with proof of data, we can centralize all of the information, check it, and then provide the information to our users."
"The product must provide more frequent updates."

"The only issue with the product is that the process is very slow when we have a huge amount of data."
"The reporting for certain types of data needs to be improved."
"It needs more compatibility with common BI tools."
"Oracle Exadata could improve by having faster data retrieval. We receive data at four or five seconds and want to reduce that number to one second."
"The solution takes a lot of time to clone the environment. I would like to see some improvement in the cloning support or the time it takes on the storage side."
"A room for improvement in Oracle Exadata is that it's not very easy to use in a microservices environment. It's not easy to split databases, and if this was easier to do in Oracle Exadata, it would make the solution better. What I'd like to see in the next release of Oracle Exadata is for it to become more modular, so you can use it in a context where the data layer is spread between many independent services."
"The cost of the solution is high and can be improved."
"We used the support from Oracle Exadata to complete the implementation."
"I have found Oracle Exadata to be scalable. However, you have to purchase more hardware, such as memory."
"License or upgrade management can be difficult and time consuming because it requires login to a separate console."
"The customization can sometimes be difficult to achieve."
"Connectors are complex, and it is difficult to understand or know which connector should be used. For instance, if I want to connect APIs, I will not be able to do it directly. I would have to go to the portal integration to get the data. Therefore, having simplified connectors will make things much easier."
"The program is difficult to learn to use"
"The product could provide more features."
"There are performance issues in terms of scalability and availability."
"It is difficult when your native language is not English. It is difficult for us to explain our issue and also difficult for the technical team to explain a resolution to us."
"Design and modeling could be simplified."
"I think more integration with other applications would be perfect."
