We performed a comparison between Azure Data Factory 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."Data Factory's best features are connectivity with different tools and focusing data ingestion using pipeline copy data."
"I like its integration with SQL pools, its ability to work with Databricks, its pipelines, and the serverless architecture are the most effective features."
"Data Factory's most valuable feature is Copy Activity."
"Data Factory's best features include its data source connections, GUI for building data pipelines, and target loading within Azure."
"We use the solution to move data from on-premises to the cloud."
"We have found the bulk load feature very valuable."
"Its integrability with the rest of the activities on Azure is most valuable."
"The best part of this product is the extraction, transformation, and load."
"The ease of setup is an eight out of ten."
"The most valuable feature is storage offloading."
"A very stable solution, which we have hardly any problems with."
"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."
"The business intelligence is very good."
"It is a highly relevant option with extreme performance."
"The new Exadata x9m has an even higher speed of 100GBps connectivity."
"Parallelism is the most valuable feature."
"I would like to see this time travel feature in Snowflake added to Azure Data Factory."
"Snowflake connectivity was recently added and if the vendor provided some videos on how to create data then that would be helpful."
"The performance could be better. It would be better if Azure Data Factory could handle a higher load. I have heard that it can get overloaded, and it can't handle it."
"The solution needs to integrate more with other providers and should have a closer integration with Oracle BI."
"Data Factory would be improved if it were a little more configuration-oriented and not so code-oriented and if it had more automated features."
"We require Azure Data Factory to be able to connect to Google Analytics."
"In the next release, it's important that some sort of scheduler for running tasks is added."
"The pricing scheme is very complex and difficult to understand."
"There is one aspect to Exadata that I dislike, and that's the inconsistency with other databases. When you try to get Exadata to function with another type of database like SQL, or others, there should be reliable and consistent operation. When this is improved on, we should start to see more applications growing the market."
"Since the product is an appliance, it is very costly."
"It would be good if Exadata made some new features available regarding data retrieval and speed capacity functions."
"I liked Spark, but it was discontinued when Exadata L6 came back. I loved it, and I wish they would bring back Spark integration."
"Sometimes it takes too long time to get help with technical issues."
"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."
"Patching must be simplified."
