Find out what your peers are saying about Snowflake Computing, Oracle, Teradata and others in Data Warehouse."Because Big Data Appliance allows me to have a single source of truth, it means I have clean data that can be monetized and leveraged to gain more insights with real-time reports from the dashboard."
"The best thing about the product is that the end-user can build the reports by themselves without really knowing anything about databases."
"This is a comprehensive solution that is easy to deploy."
"Oracle is a stable database."
"Oracle Database Appliance is a stable solution. We have clients that have been running it for 10 years."
"The performance of the system is the solution's most valuable aspect. In combination with the database, it gives perfect results. It's a better system than using other kinds of integrated systems. In general, the ODA control is much simpler to use and offers up the best performance."
"The initial setup was straightforward and quick - I was able to configure everything within an hour."
"We primarily use it for OLTP, which has improved our costs."
"The most valuable feature is the performance."
"I give it a nine out of 10 because it gives the customer easy access to a complete database solution within 30 minutes."
"If the database goes down on one of the servers, the load is automatically shifted to another server. You can troubleshoot the one that is down without affecting uptime."
"The product should be simplified for the average user."
"It seems like the deployment of repositories has become more difficult in later versions of the product rather than easier."
"From a technical perspective, Big Data Appliance could be improved with more innovation in the AI and machine-learning parts instead of relying on Cloudera."
"They could incorporate a more secure and internet-centric management system for the platform."
"It would be beneficial to have dedicated RAM included in the Oracle Database Appliance."
"In my opinion only one single command should be used for all ODA models, as it’s confusing."
"Oracle Database Appliance patching comes out two to three months after the regular patching cycle."
"Since we don't have the room to scale up, I rate this solution a six out of ten for scalability."
"In terms of what can be be improved, I'd say Artificial Intelligence, AI. It would be really helpful if AI was incorporated within the solution."
"We would like the ability to add more storage without having to upgrade to Oracle Exadata."
"Oracle Database Appliance is stopping support for the standard edition and only continuing support for the RAC One Node. They did not inform us and we are having problems with our customers. We are not having to change our systems from standard to something else."
