**Reviewed by:** Jaba B. | Data Scientist, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Veera S. | OBIEE Consultant, Transportation/Trucking/Railroad, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 24, 2016

**What do you like best about Oracle Exadata Cloud Service?**

Its fast. A much bigger box. Very very good performance.

**What do you dislike about Oracle Exadata Cloud Service?**

Its away from normal Oracle Database. So performance tuning is a little different and thus a learning curve.

Works in report building. All report performance increased a lot. Saved a lot of time waiting for the report to show up.

  ### 11. Exadata Rocks

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Bert S. | Chief technology Officer, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 06, 2016

**What do you like best about Oracle Exadata Cloud Service?**

The sheer raw performance is nothing short of amazing. The separation of the database server and cell/storage servers results in a trul optimal architecture.

**What do you dislike about Oracle Exadata Cloud Service?**

The initital purchase price is preclusive for many shops. You have to send your DBA's to some addituional training calsses and/or hire some Oracle consulting. Plus the hardware components like simple server fans cost ten times as much as X86 ones even though they look the same.

**Recommendations to others considering Oracle Exadata Cloud Service:**

Factor in time for initial learning curve. Perfomance will exceed expectations even at first. But once you become more accustomed to Exadata you will tweak your databases to maximize even more.

**What problems is Oracle Exadata Cloud Service solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Achieving the fastest overall database performance enabling us to meet all service level agreements (SLA's). We've also been able to perform database consolidation and thus reduced our server count and power usage significantly.

  ### 12. Intelligent storage, fast processing - next-gen system for high-volume transaction processing

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Tapan J. | Associate Analytics Director at GroupM, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 04, 2014

**What do you like best about Oracle Exadata Cloud Service?**

The end-to-end support provided by Oracle as everything right from the hardware to the software comes from Oracle which reduces the downtime and dependency on various vendors.Also, the configuration for all customers is identical which helps in keeping down the number of issues and a faster resolution if at all any issue arises.Also, the compression capability for Exadata is commendable.

**What do you dislike about Oracle Exadata Cloud Service?**

The ease of use and the wide assortment of statistical functions is missing for it to be a complete data extraction and analysis solution. There are some performance issues with use of multiples views and CTEs in the same SQL query.Also, using SAS for analysis and Exadata for data extraction poses various challenges as data types and formats are different in Exadata then in SAS.

**Recommendations to others considering Oracle Exadata Cloud Service:**

The improvements are huge over the legacy database but Exadata is not a complete data extraction and analysis tool. SAS will still be required.

**What problems is Oracle Exadata Cloud Service solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Moving from legacy databases like SAND which were very slow and took ages to retrieve data, Exadata saves a lot of time in generating reports.
