We performed a comparison between Exasol and Oracle Database based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Relational Databases Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It is easy to scale."
"The speed is very good compared to other databases, like SQL Server or Oracle."
"We can quickly scale the solution as it works on an MPP system."
"We mainly chose Exasol for its performance reasons."
"Performance is a top priority, and it excels in this aspect."
"The most valuable feature of Exasol is its speed."
"The solution is hands-off; you set it up insert your data and it self tunes queries."
"Its speed is great."
"The solution in my experience has been stable."
"The technical support from Oracle is good and responsive. I used them for security updates and patches."
"The feature I find most valuable about this solution is the reliability."
"A really large and very useful language to process data."
"It is one of the most reliable database systems."
"The solution has very robust integrity due to how it is designed and implemented."
"Oracle Database is stable. I'm quite happy with the performance."
"The feature that I worked with and that excited me the most is one that is not available in other databases, and it involves the use of Java Runtime."
"They should improve the security features for MPP processing."
"You have to install Exasol drivers, and it's not easy to find or implement a driver into different systems."
"They don't talk very well to with other products when it comes to connectivity. Integration is lacking."
"It's not cloud-native so many maintenance operations require downtime."
"Lacks a cloud-based platform."
"There are limited resources available to help me resolve the issue with Exasol."
"The only area where we found it could improve was in custom role creation and security, and it was difficult to work with."
"It would be beneficial if the updates would occur more often."
"The primary concern is that Oracle is highly restricted in terms of the approved technologies where we can freely deploy Oracle Database or any other Oracle product."
"There are SQL plan flips that are happening with version 12c. We would basically like to have the next version wherein we don't see such plan flips because they create performance issues. There are quite a lot of features that I would like to see, but this is the main one for now."
"The documentation needs improvement because as it is now, providing support is a headache."
"Oracle could improve by providing better integration with other solutions, such as Angular platforms."
"The solution is a bit expensive."
"Oracle needs to improve its cluster technologies. They need to improve in the cluster technology using ARC due to the fact that sometimes people think that they have a redundant server when they are using ARC with the cluster and think that will increase the performance. In reality, if they are using ii with a big workload, sometimes the performance is not increasing, and can sometimes actually impacts it in such a way that there's some degradation in the performance."
"They can simplify and make the deployment more user-friendly. Deploying Oracle solutions requires a lot of technical input. If that can be improved, it would really add value to the business."
"Improvements in Oracle Database could focus on simplifying deployment processes and providing clearer documentation."
