Find out in this report how the two Data Warehouse solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It will be MPP, so performance should improve."
"The way that it scales will help a lot of customers that are stuck with Netezza boxes that can't grow any larger."
"The performance is okay as long as the volume of queries is not too high."
"Backup/Restore performance: Fast backups, fast restores (especially useful for creating clone environments)."
"The business intelligence is very good."
"What I found most valuable in Oracle Exadata is its newer technology that gives better performance. It has more recent hardware and significant changes in the architecture, so it's better than older solutions."
"It is a highly relevant option with extreme performance."
"The offloading of data to the SIM is a valuable feature."
"Parallelism is the most valuable feature."
"We like the tool’s features like Smart Scan, Hybrid Columnar Compression, and the TFA."
"The data replication is very good."
"Tech support for dashDB is awful. We usually have tickets open for three to four weeks."
"Containers get corrupted very easily. Restoring them using GPFS can result in a lot of issues."
"Right now, we are implementing on ESX VMware 6.0. Support for this platform is poor. Also, one of the backup/recovery options is broken and IBM is not addressing the issue."
"Ultimately, the product itself has challenges and we are not currently satisfied with the support, either."
"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."
"Certification should also be improved. Today, Oracle doesn't certify applications with engineered systems."
"We had issues with system restoration."
"The analytics features must be improved."
"The improvement could be made on the hardware level as the habit in the industry is to go better and faster and larger with every iteration."
"Checking the Smart Scan issues is complicated."
"The solution's pricing is very high."
"There is a feature for security, but it is not included in the first purchase of this solution. That means if you need to increase the security, you need to buy the security feature which doesn't come by default on these solutions."
