Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros | |
"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 solution is simple to use and easy to maintain." "The Oracle database is able to get the data, process it, and return it to the company's CEO's and CFO's within a single day, and thus they are able to find out yesterday's P and L by today. It has drastically reduced the amount and time of processing from seven days to one day." "The most valuable feature is the performance." "The database is solid." "The solution is pretty automated, which takes out the possibility of human error." | "Eighty percent of the ETL operations have improved since implementing this solution." "The performance is very good and the aggregate records are fast." "Vertica's most outstanding features are the compression rates achieved and the speed of access of high volume data." "Allows us to take volumes and process them at a very high speed." "For me, It's performance, scalability, low cost, and it's integrated into enterprise and big data environments." "Speed and resiliency are probably the best parts of this product." "It has improved my organization's functionality and performance." "The solution has great capabilities. The tool that instructs the internal database forward is easy to use and is very powerful." |
Cons | |
"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." "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 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 could improve its capacity for built-in visualization." "The product is quite complex to set up, initially. It would be ideal if it was simpler." | "Fact-to-fact joins on multi-billion record tables perform poorly." "When it is about to reach the maximum storage capacity, it becomes slow." "Support is an area where it could get better." "Promotion/marketing must be improved, even though it is a very useful product at very good price, it is not as "popular" as it should be." "Some of our small to medium-sized customers would like to see containerization and flexibility from the deployment standpoint." "The geospatial functionality could be designed better." "We are looking for a cheaper deployment for the solution. Although we did a lot of benchmarks, like Redshift. We tried Redshift, it didn't work. It didn't work out for us as well." "They could improve on customer service." |
