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."The data replication is very good."
"It is a scalable solution."
"Exadata is a fantastic machine. Two features stand out. The first is the resource input/output management tool that allows you to manage the resources to the neck on the Exadata box."
"Exadata's best features are its performance during redo logging and the elasticity of the database handling."
"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."
"They just have a lot of products, and they work well together."
"It is a highly relevant option with extreme performance."
"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."
"SAP Business Warehouse is a scalable solution."
"The features that I have found most valuable are its capabilities to connect to Excel and to slice and dice."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the integration with SAP ERP."
"The most valuable feature of SAP Business Warehouse is transformation, where I extract data from different sources, particularly the raw data. Then I do some transformations and store that in a format that allows me to do reporting easily."
"What I like most about SAP Business Warehouse is that it's a seamless integration platform. A valuable feature in the tool is the monitoring alert that makes you aware of what process chain has failed. There's no manual monitoring required if you have configured an alert system, so the process chain can run in the background, and you can get alerts about it. The functionalities I find good in SAP Business Warehouse are alerting and monitoring. If you have configured the tool and have integrated it with SAP Solution Manager, then it's a good product to use."
"Now, because of the HANA integration, the hard disk and RAM are together, and because of that, the output is very quick and very fast actually."
"Predominantly, our company uses SAP Business Warehouse for reporting purposes across various departments, especially for managers to gain a quick understanding of their current standing and make informed decisions."
"The product is very stable."
"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."
"Oracle Exadata compatibility with the analytics could be better and the OBIEE could improve. Oracle BI to Exadata needs to be improved. Even if the full analytics practice for Oracle should be improved and when compared with other solutions it is weak."
"The initial setup process is very difficult and extremely complex."
"The scalability can be improved as it is not a parallel execution."
"License or upgrade management can be difficult and time consuming because it requires login to a separate console."
"Oracle Exadata could improve the platform performance tuning should be easier, automated, and user-friendly."
"The technical support is in need of improvement."
"It's too expensive per terabyte. It's complex."
"So far, the initial setup process in our company has not been easy enough for us to understand."
"SAP Business Warehouse could improve by having more out-of-the-box use cases to cover more business types or operations."
"The problem with BW, and the factor that differentiated it from the original BW, is that you only get limited functionality with your runtime license. So, you have to pay extra for extracting data."
"It's a product that is at the end of life so they will not improve it anymore."
"You can start quickly but, when you have to get a little more detailed, when you have to change something, when you have to solve problems, it's not that easy. It's easy to start but evolving is not that easy."
"I get all the information quickly, but it is one day old."
"There is room for improvement from a technical perspective."
"The solution should be more open to the cloud."
