Has consistently delivered high performance and aligned security while evolving with AI-driven improvements
When discussing Oracle Exadata, the main thing is the specialized database appliance, the flash cache, and the engineered machine on the database for the database itself. Overall, all the features are useful and meaningful for any database like Oracle to run the Oracle database. Regarding Smart Scan technology, it is for better performance. If a customer cannot tune their applications, this will help them to run the database and run the application without any tuning itself. Oracle Exadata's advanced compression techniques have affected my customer's data storage efficiency positively, with the feature being great, but as of now, our customer is not using that. I find its security measures align with my customer's organization, as security is aligned as per the customer's requirement. It has helped optimize performance and cost.

Standout features are real-time dashboards and powerful aggregation
This product has a powerful aggregating feature which is great. It also has its own APIs. Whenever the data comes in, it can be streamed out anywhere. It's the only solution that provides real-time dashboards. Tableau doesn't have this feature. The three variants of historical data, real-time data and predicted data from Spitfire, give more strength to LiveDatamart without any dependency on other products. The product is easy to set up with very low maintenance required.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Once installed, Exadata is very stable."
"Definitely having the ability to have one machine do everything has been the biggest improvement for us organizationally."
"The most valuable feature is that you have the same familiar environment of an Oracle database but with the additional performance you get from this architecture."
"Exadata's best features are its performance during redo logging and the elasticity of the database handling."
"The new Exadata x9m has an even higher speed of 100GBps connectivity."
"Fast performance and tons of storage that we can have to put a lot of databases under the Exadata Server are the most valuable features in this product."
"Overall, Exadata justifies the total cost of ownership (TCO) by balancing the capital and operational expenses - thereby achieving a higher ROI."
"It's definitely been stable for us; over a four-year period, we had zero outages."
"The three variants of historical data, real-time data and predicted data from Spitfire, give more strength to LiveDatamart without any dependency on other products."
"The solution has a powerful aggregating feature"
"You can create your own rules that include mathematic calculations."
"The solution is mature and stable, even more so since it was acquired by TIBCO."
 

Cons

"Licensing is per CPU and relatively expensive."
"More control for database admins is needed for storage indexes and pricing."
"Checking the Smart Scan issues is complicated."
"The problem with the Oracle Exadata is that it is a dead-end of technology."
"We have experienced some issues with processing unstructured data on Exadata. This is an important requirement for our AIML based use case. Reactive analytics data can not be prepared easily in Oracle Exadata."
"It is difficult to evaluate return-on-investment because of the way billing is handled for the product. This should be improved by oracle."
"When the workload increases on the cells, Cell Offloading may not happen."
"The technical support is terrible. When I search on Google, I get more answers than from the Oracle support team."
"The solution's setup could be quicker and easier."
"Live Datamart runs on JVM which only holds Java and only 60 GB of data. If you try to get more out of it than that, it crashes."
"Improvements need to be made on the load balancing side."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"All things considered, the price of this product is fairly high, as is always the case with Oracle."
"The price is very high."
"The solution takes a lot of time to clone the environment. I would like to see some improvement in the cloning support or the time it takes on the storage side."
"In the sizing phase, you can also decide whether to license all cores, or reduce the number cores using capacity-on-demand features of Exadata, as well. This has a direct impact on licensing."
"You have to pay for the storage and the database in Oracle Exadata. It cost a lot, but it is worth it. It would be a benefit if we could reduce the price for the number of CPUs and extend the memory."
"The cost of the product could be improved."
"The cost of the solution is high."
"It is an expensive product and you pay more for certain performance enhancements."
"The solution might be considered a bit expensive because it competes with open-source products."
