We performed a comparison between BigQuery 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."As a cloud solution, it's easy to set up."
"The solution's reporting, dashboard, and out-of-the-box capabilities match exactly our requirements."
"The most valuable features of BigQuery is that it supports standard SQL and provides good performance."
"BigQuery can be used for any type of company. It has the capability of building applications and storing data. It can be used for OLTP or OLAP. It has many other products within the Google space."
"BigQuery is a powerful tool for managing and analyzing large datasets. The versatility of BigQuery extends to its compatibility with external data visualization tools like Power BI and Tableau. This means you not only get query results but can also seamlessly integrate and visualize your data for better insights."
"It stands out in efficiently handling internal actions without the need for manual intervention in tasks like building cubes and defining final dimensions."
"When integrating their system into the cloud-based solutions, we were able to increase their efficiency and overall productivity twice compared with their on-premises option."
"What I like most about BigQuery is that it's fast and flexible. Another advantage of BigQuery is that it's easy to learn."
"The new Exadata x9m has an even higher speed of 100GBps connectivity."
"We like the tool’s features like Smart Scan, Hybrid Columnar Compression, and the TFA."
"It is a scalable solution."
"Exadata's best features are its performance during redo logging and the elasticity of the database handling."
"Oracle has reliable solutions and this one is no different."
"What I like most about Oracle Exadata is its smart scan feature. I also like that it supports higher capacities and it's high-performing, so my company can use Oracle Exadata for massive databases."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Exadata is the smart scan. We have large TB sessions of approximately 100 per second for each of our three instances. The smart scan allows us the obtain data in time in the enterprise manager."
"Oracle Exadata's performance is one of its best features. We very satisfied with it."
"The initial setup could be improved making it easier to deploy."
"We'd like to have more integrations with other technologies."
"For greater flexibility and ease of use, it would be beneficial if BigQuery offered more third-party add-ons and connectors, particularly for databases that don't have built-in integration options."
"The price could be better. Compared to competing solutions, BigQuery is expensive. It's only suitable for enterprise customers, not small and medium-sized businesses, as they cannot afford this kind of solution. In the next release, it would be better if they improved their AI bot. Although machine learning and artificial intelligence are doing wonders, there is still a lot of room to enhance them."
"The product’s performance could be much faster."
"I understand that Snowflake has made some improvements on its end to further reduce costs, so I believe BigQuery can catch up."
"It would be beneficial to integrate additional tools, particularly from a business intelligence perspective."
"There are some limitations in the query latency compared to what it was three years ago."
"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."
"Oracle Exadata could improve the platform performance tuning should be easier, automated, and user-friendly."
"Patching must be simplified."
"The solution's pricing is very high."
"Oracle Exadata could improve the monitoring system in the enterprise manager, it could be more user-friendly. In most Oracle tools there is a lot of functionality, and sometimes you need to do five or six clicks to find metrics, and sometimes it's a waste of time."
"The integration with third-party applications regarding access management security could be better."
"I would like to see more database features and maybe more archiving features, because we need to do data archiving."
"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."
