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

"Parallelism is the most valuable feature."
"It's a great investment for the large enterprise."
"We want to stay at the front of the cutting edge, and we evaluate and realize that the benefit, the return on investment that Exadata brings for a company of our magnitude and size, is tremendous."
"Once you start leveraging Exadata with Database In-Memory and Multitenant, you've got a really solid platform for database enterprise computing."
"Payroll used to take two and a half days. It now takes one or two hours."
"The key capability of Exadata, which is not found in any other solution or appliance, is its enhancement specifically for databases."
"The main benefit is that everything is powered by Oracle; the whole box, hardware, software, and storage, so we have the flexibility of going to one vendor directly instead of going to multiple vendors if we have any issues."
"It is a highly relevant option with extreme performance."
"The solution is mature and stable, even more so since it was acquired by TIBCO."
"The solution has a powerful aggregating feature"
"You can create your own rules that include mathematic calculations."
"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."
 

Cons

"We have a little trepidation with the system as it does have a learning curve. Also changing to a binary logging format for us feels like retrograde motion, but sadly almost all Linux variants have moved in this direction."
"I don't think it's so scalable because Exadata is a box."
"We have had issues with system restoration."
"Performance is what we always tend to work on and it could still be improved."
"Oracle Exadata could improve the platform performance tuning should be easier, automated, and user-friendly."
"The main drawback is the inability to cluster two Exadata systems across sites."
"The cost of the solution is high and can be improved."
"It's complex. We integrated an existing solution to Exadata."
"Improvements need to be made on the load balancing side."
"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."
"The solution's setup could be quicker and easier."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive."
"The cost of the solution is high."
"The price of the solution has been expensive to implement."
"I'm giving Oracle Exadata five out of ten in terms of pricing. Its price could be lower."
"We pay for an annual license and it is expensive."
"The price of the solution could improve, it is expensive."
"I give the pricing of the solution a five out of ten."
"It is quite expensive."
"The solution might be considered a bit expensive because it competes with open-source products."
