They deliver a canned, scalable solution, but I would like to see the TSA scripts available publicly.

With a solid DB2 foundation, it performs incredibly and I recently implemented the new BLU Acceleration, and was dumbfounded that hour-long queries took minutes, in the correct scenario, of course. From a consultant point of view, I can step in and immediately know the system. I do not…

Platinum partnership leverages advanced storage and fosters seamless data integration

Areas of Oracle Big Data Appliance that can be improved include the pricing perspective because nowadays they have competition. We have so many technologies that have come to the market for less than even one-fourth or one-fifth of the Oracle price. For my side, the last time I worked with Oracle was in '21, '22. The price is a challenge that they have to look after. From the storage and data management perspective, I cannot recall anything that they have to improve, but they have to improve the visualization part significantly because they offer Oracle BI, which is an extremely not-matured application.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"With a solid DB2 foundation, it performs incredibly and I recently implemented the new BLU Acceleration, and was dumbfounded that hour-long queries took minutes, in the correct scenario, of course."

"This is a comprehensive solution that is easy to deploy."

"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 feature of Oracle Big Data Appliance, from a price perspective for the storage, is because they have technology called the ZFS technology; it offers huge storage with a decent price."

"The best thing about the product is that the end-user can build the reports by themselves without really knowing anything about databases."

"We could work on large unstructured datasets from different parts of the world on Facebook and Twitter to get better insights."

"Big Data responds to my needs."

Cons

"The HA - it's a good solution, but I feel IBM should provide the necessary scripts so you can destroy the TSA domain and rebuild it easily."

"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."

"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."

"We need to display the results on our website. I think there is another product that joins with it to give you the possibility."

"We had to pursue several performance tuning measures to bring up the system to scale."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Oracle's prices are too high compared to others in the market."
