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 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."
"We use the solution for our Java applications."
"The product’s valuable feature is its capability to pre-configure and pre-install the settings."
"Oracle is a stable database."
"Oracle Database Appliance provides high stability."
"The most valuable feature is the performance."
"We primarily use it for OLTP, which has improved our costs."
"The product is very light."
"Out-of-the-box reports are very useful."
"What I like most about SAP Business Warehouse is its ability to feed data into new, multiple systems in various formats. It can open its data to any system over gateway services or a portal or application that needs to consume and analyze data."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the advanced structuring of data capabilities. You can get different structures of data to suit your needs."
"Having the back-end data set with the right information is the best qualification for this solution."
"In terms of stability, comparatively, the solution is quite stable."
"With the technical support, the response has been pretty good from the SAP side."
"Predominantly, our company uses SAP Business Warehouse for reporting purposes across various departments, especially for managers to gain a quick understanding of their current standing and make informed decisions."
"Having the integration with the reporting tool which is provided by SAP is great."
"Oracle could improve its capacity for built-in visualization."
"Technical support is not so great. It could be much better. The maintenance, for an enterprise system, isn't so great. It's also extremely expensive."
"It would be beneficial to have dedicated RAM included in the Oracle Database Appliance."
"The solution's initial setup is not easy."
"If we were able to use Oracle Database to create mobile apps, that would be great. I don't know multiple languages, like Java, etc. I need to learn a separate language, right now in order to do this."
"In my opinion only one single command should be used for all ODA models, as it’s confusing."
"The setup is a bit complex."
"The product is quite complex to set up, initially. It would be ideal if it was simpler."
"I get all the information quickly, but it is one day old."
"So far, the initial setup process in our company has not been easy enough for us to understand."
"The way the data is stored is kind of rigid in SAP BW as a product. It could be more flexible so that when we are designing a solution, we can design our own data structures and try to improve performance."
"I'm not sure if our issue is related to BW or the Analysis Office. However, we're having performance issues in terms of time. It takes a long time to generate the report."
"It takes more work to get the data, including reporting on that data, because some coding is required, and a significant level of transformation is needed when using SAP Business Warehouse."
"The problem with BW, and the factor that differentiated it from the original BW, is that you only get limited functionality with your runtime license. So, you have to pay extra for extracting data."
"There is room for improvement from a technical perspective."
"The solution could offer better connectivity with other databases."
