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."The product works well with other Azure products."
"The product is very user friendly."
"Data can be stored any way you want in the data warehouse."
"The best thing about it is that it has integration at multiple places. It can talk to more than 90 types of data sources, which is one good thing about it."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Azure Synapse Analytics are the user experience because it is easy to make analyses, load different databases, and different resources. Our end users can do the analysis by themselves without IT supervising. This is a great aspect of the solution, it's better for our environment."
"The initial setup was really easy and straightforward."
"Scaling this solution is easy and the uptime is okay."
"One of the most valuable features of this solution is its ability to integrate well with other services offered by Azure."
"It is a scalable product."
"The solution is very stable and offers great performance."
"I like that Oracle Exadata Express Cloud Service is easier to use and is a cost-saving solution because you won't need to hire people to run and maintain it."
"Having the prediction happen in the modular format allows you to start with a lower version of Exadata and then you can keep on upgrading it as per your requirement."
"The performance of the tool is valuable."
"In the cloud, Exadata is more scalable. The on-prem version was limited. It wasn't that scalable because it only came in a quarter rack, half rack, and full rack. In the cloud, it scales to what you need."
"One of the most valuable parts of the solution is the high availability within the system and the performance enhancement without making any changes or fine-tuning the databases."
"The only concern for us is the cost part. When it comes to the implementation and the support and maintenance, we see high-cost implications."
"More integration is needed to improve the product for the future."
"Synapse makes it easy to integrate and onboard data from other Microsoft and Azure sources. The interface is familiar because we were using Azure Data Factory before Synapse. It made the transition even easier because the Synapse interface is exactly the same."
"The performance needs to improve in future releases."
"I would like my team to be able to build pipelines that integrate with the Azure Data Factory."
"Integration with other vendors has limitations and could be improved."
"I am very sure that there are areas in need of improvement, but I can't recall what they are off the top of my head."
"I would like to see better integration with Active Directory, because we have had problems, and we still do."
"The product's installation process needs improvement. It could be more accessible."
"The customer's default choice is the on-premise version of this solution. Only when Oracle or the partners like us, can explain to customers the cloud value proposition, and if the compliance authorities allow, they can look into this cloud solution. It will take some time for Oracle to change its perception of customers' de-facto standards. Exadata used to be treated as a black box, which is not the case now. The customer is aware of what is happening inside, how the configurations have been made, and what patching has been applied. Oracle needs to market the cloud version better."
"The only downside is the difficulty in monitoring, and that's why I would like to implement MySQL database."
"Scaling Oracle Exadata Express Cloud Service can be done, but the process is a little tedious, which could be an area for improvement in the solution."
"Oracle's support could be better."
"The solution's pricing could be improved."
"The support must be faster."
"We use artificial intelligence for deep learning, and it would be a huge benefit to implement this in Oracle Exadata."
