Oracle Exadata database has a very good performance and the best thing is that its hardware is optimised for the database services allowing users to get the best performance from it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The biggest disadvantage is probably price because it's very expensive but if you are considering Oracle Exadata you probably have enough funds for it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are a lot of good things, but I would like to mention 2:

- Querying is fast, faster that any other system. This is because EXADATA can execute the queries in the Storage itself! It saves a lot of time of sending and receiving files.

- Thanks to its power, you don't need different OLTP/OLAP database instances. They can work in same DB without performance issues at all Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The price. This system can be only afforded by big companies and for big projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Queries that use to run for hours take only minutes now if not seconds on EXADATA. My company implemented about 2 years ago for our Maximo and Siebel services and recently our team (Datawarehouse) was able to migrate over as well and the performance gains are easily noticeable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There have been many hiccups along the way and our current DBA team are not very familiar with the setup of the new system requiring our firm to hire outside consultants to assist in the implementation of it. We are still using them even now, but it is a lot more stable now then before.

Also migration is a bit of a hassle and we are still having issues with it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its fast. A much bigger box. Very very good performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its away from normal Oracle Database. So performance tuning is a little different and thus a learning curve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
