"The most valuable feature of Oracle Exadata is the smart scan. We have large TB sessions of approximately 100 per second for each of our three instances. The smart scan allows us the obtain data in time in the enterprise manager."
"The ease of setup is an eight out of ten."
"The offloading of data to the SIM is a valuable feature."
"Oracle Exadata's performance is one of its best features. We very satisfied with it."
"Exadata's best features are its performance during redo logging and the elasticity of the database handling."
"They just have a lot of products, and they work well together."
"The most valuable feature is storage offloading."
"The solution's banking model, called FSLDM (Financial Services Logical Data Model), is sophisticated and good."
"The product's scalability is great. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Intelliflex is very scalable. In fact, scalability has improved 100 times by Intelliflex, in my personal opinion."
"IntelliFlex is easy to scale - one of its best features is that you can upscale it to the size you want."
"It is very stable. It's 100% uptime. Speed and resilience are one of the greatest features of this product. In almost twenty years we've never had downtime, except for outages for patches and upgrades. We've never had a system failure in twenty years."
"Oracle Exadata could improve by having faster data retrieval. We receive data at four or five seconds and want to reduce that number to one second."
"There is one aspect to Exadata that I dislike, and that's the inconsistency with other databases. When you try to get Exadata to function with another type of database like SQL, or others, there should be reliable and consistent operation. When this is improved on, we should start to see more applications growing the market."
"The technical support is in need of improvement."
"The initial setup process is very difficult and extremely complex."
"The solution could always be more stable and more reliable."
"A room for improvement in Oracle Exadata is that it's not very easy to use in a microservices environment. It's not easy to split databases, and if this was easier to do in Oracle Exadata, it would make the solution better. What I'd like to see in the next release of Oracle Exadata is for it to become more modular, so you can use it in a context where the data layer is spread between many independent services."
"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."
"I liked Spark, but it was discontinued when Exadata L6 came back. I loved it, and I wish they would bring back Spark integration."
"The initial setup is complex because there are a lot of factors that come into play, including the amount of software and applications that require access."
"The reporting side wasn't very good in the past, but with the latest versions, it's getting better. Still, the friendliness of the PDC reporting and functionality needs to be improved."
"The only issue our company has with Teradata IntelliFlex is that it is not cost-effective because of the way the product has been designed."
"The solution’s pricing, scalability, and technical support response time could be improved."
"They should add more connectors to different platforms."
