We performed a comparison between Oracle Exadata Express Cloud Service and Snowflake 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."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."
"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."
"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 solution is very stable and offers great performance."
"The performance of the tool is valuable."
"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."
"It is a scalable product."
"The most valuable feature of Snowflake is it's an all-in-one data warehousing solution."
"The most valuable features of Snowflake are its performance and power."
"I like the fact that we don't need a DBA. It automatically scales stuff."
"The most valuable feature has been the Snowflake data sharing and dynamic data masking."
"This is the advanced version of the cloud version, so it's really a flexible tool. If you have it implemented at home, you can access it from anywhere."
"The pricing is reasonable and matches the rest of the market."
"It is quite easy to manage."
"Scaling is a big plus point of Snowflake."
"We use artificial intelligence for deep learning, and it would be a huge benefit to implement this in Oracle Exadata."
"The product's installation process needs improvement. It could be more accessible."
"The solution's pricing could be improved."
"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."
"The support must be faster."
"The only downside is the difficulty in monitoring, and that's why I would like to implement MySQL database."
"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."
"Oracle's support could be better."
"The price could be improved."
"They do have a native connector to connect with integration tools for loading data, but it would be much better to have the functionality built-in."
"The pricing of the solution should be much easier to calculate or find by yourself."
"The solution could improve the user interface and add functionality to the system."
"The documentation could improve. They should provide architecture information."
"To ensure the proper functioning of Snowflake as an MDS, it relies heavily on other partner tools."
"The cost of the solution could be reduced."
"It would be better if they had a data profile tool that tells me where the gaps are in my time series data."
