We performed a comparison between IBM Db2 Warehouse and Oracle Exadata based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Warehouse solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The standout feature of IBM Db2 Warehouse, which is particularly valuable for large enterprises, is its ability to handle big data."
"Some of the best features are stored procedures, parallelism, and different indexing strategies."
"Provides good security and reliability."
"I think it scales really well and as long as you take enough time to learn a little bit about it, it works really well."
"The analytics engine is not bad at forecasting predictions."
"It can be mounted on the cloud, which is a huge plus. If the client, for example, starts small with on-premise deployment and then it rapidly needs to grow, we can transfer this to the cloud easily."
"The tool's performance is good."
"The data replication is very good."
"On-premises Exadata is just as stable as the cloud version. It's a very stable platform."
"Exadata with the In-Memory option is several levels about SAP HANA."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Exadata is its capabilities for storing and processing data. It is very good for our domain."
"Exadata is a fantastic machine. Two features stand out. The first is the resource input/output management tool that allows you to manage the resources to the neck on the Exadata box."
"The most valuable feature is storage offloading."
"We have used this solution for a long period of time so it has become easy for us to query any kind of data from Oracle Exadata which has been valuable."
"The biggest challenge anyone could have with Db2 Warehouse is their references or online resources and documentation. They are very, very, very limited on the web."
"There should be more material available for training and training should be free."
"In terms of improvement, IBM Db2 Warehouse should be more scalable."
"The biggest problems we have is when the backup solution is failing or slow and we run out of log space, which has happened probably a couple of times in the last four years."
"The areas of the solution that is needing the most improvement are separating compute from storage, elasticity, which means scaling up and then retracting."
"Lacks sufficient documentation and particularly in Spanish."
"IBM Db2 Warehouse needs to improve its interface."
"The setup is a little bit complex. We would like to see the installation part get easier."
"The performance could be improved."
"The handling of temp space has room for improvement."
"There is a feature for security, but it is not included in the first purchase of this solution. That means if you need to increase the security, you need to buy the security feature which doesn't come by default on these solutions."
"Tech support sometimes takes some time to identify and rectify issues."
"The solution lacks a visualized console."
"It would be good if Exadata made some new features available regarding data retrieval and speed capacity functions."
"The integration with third-party applications regarding access management security could be better."
