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

"The tool performs well with a large database."
"We see cost saving due to the reduced footprint in the data center and improved performance."
"We have a complete HA environment with two Exadata machines across two datacenters, and we've been able to use Data Guard to perform switchovers, perform maintenance, and do other tasks with little or no downtime at all."
"We can use virtualization on Exadata."
"The extreme performance of Exadata is something that was worth paying for."
"The business outcomes are much faster; end users are very happy so they can focus on their day-to-day work rather than waiting for the computer, the response from the system."
"You have to pay for the storage and the database in Oracle Exadata; it costs a lot, but it is worth it."
"In our current situation it is not bad, it's a very capable and very comprehensive solution."
"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."
"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

"There's room for improvement in terms of deployment, as it could be made faster and more user-friendly."
"We need a monitoring tool which can in one place, where we can manage, monitor the entire Exadata components."
"We definitely have noticed that technical support has gone down, unfortunately. The quality of support; it takes a lot longer to get tickets resolved than it did four years ago, when we first bought the Exadata."
"The price of Oracle Exadata is expensive. It is not competitive with other solutions some of the times."
"Oracle Exadata is not a cheap solution. Pricing is a problem for Oracle, and every client, not just my company, would like the vendor to improve on the price, or lower the price."
"The management monitoring tools are quite important and an area that needs some improvement."
"Patching Oracle Exadata can be challenging due to its numerous components including network, blade, CPU, storage, and VMs."
"As soon as your joins get complicated, things start to go wrong. You lose much of the offloading and start spilling into temp space."
"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."
"The solution's setup could be quicker and easier."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost of the solution is high."
"I think it's free."
"The cost of the product could be improved."
"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 solution might be considered a bit expensive because it competes with open-source products."
