Oracle Exadata vs. Treasure Data

• First, get the database on Oracle. If you are in an Oracle stack, it would be much better to use the Oracle products. If you are driving a Ferrari, you wouldn’t put a Mercedes engine in it. If you are writing a query, you cannot rely on other brands. Since I'm an architect, when I look for a product, I look for performance.
• The installation is easy because it comes out-of-the-box and you just start using it.
• Previous to Oracle Exadata, we were using a normal Oracle RAC service. We were just waiting for this product to come out.
• I'm currently writing a data warehouse on Exadata. Before this solution, we were aiming for this to be completed by 8 a.m., when our ETLs would finish. With the help of Exadata's special features, this was reduced to 3 a.m. This solution allows us to bring more data within the same time period. It provides us with more subject areas that provide more reports to our users. Our ETL times reduced to 65%, then to 50%.

Treasure Data is well suited to integrating multiple data sources, including online and digital sources. It is also well suited to trigger audience activations to known customers based on their online activity, integrating 3rd party data, and activating target audiences to ad platforms.

• CDP provides a unified view of data from all touchpoints in the customer journey until a single customer uses the service. This feature is very helpful in making service decisions and direction.
• It provides a variety of extensions to bring your data together in one place and helps you do this easily.
• Kits provided by Treasure Box provide basic but helpful methods for further development of services.

• Integrating with different types of databases can be a challenge
• Having a hardware platform optimized to run specific database software surely comes with a price
• Single vendor to support same hardware and software will make migrating to different hardware and/or software become a hassle

• Documentation is not always fully update --> better off reaching to support for some topics that are not covered
• Small bugs on the graphical user interface
• If 2 people are editing on the same project simultaneously, the latter that saves the workflow overwrites the changes of the former one

I do think that we definitely will be renewing. We are putting major resources, time, and effort into Treasure Data becoming an extension of our organization, in many ways. We are working toward complete synergies with this product and leadership is very excited about the direction we are heading to be completely customer-centric.

It's a easy platform to use and give the user detailed logs about what is going on in the workflows, so someone that do not have a lot of experience can start to work with it. And also the master segment usability is awesome, as we can filter a lot of data the way we want.

As treasure data has a 24 hours support, every time we has big issues that impacts the zones, we do have immediatly support from the treasure data team, so I would say that we do not have any issues with availability

Since treasure data has started having a huge amount of data, sometimes we do have problems with the workflows logs because we generate a lot of then. But with integrations I have not to complain, its really easy to integrate with other platforms.

The technical team has a good hold on the nuances of the data related to our organization. I have found the online technical support on their site quite responsive including the L1 support. In cases where the L1 team isn't able to resolve, I have found they are prompt in getting the product team's input to get a quick resolution.

Oracle Exadata Database Machine had the best performance overall hands down. It clearly beat the competition and we were seeing 1000X improvement on SAP HANA. Oracle Exadata Database Machine beat that without us refactoring our code. To achieve that in HANA, we had to refactor the code somewhat. Now this was for our limited POC of 5 use cases. Given the large number of stored procedures we had in Sybase, we need to capture more production metrics but we are seeing incredible performance.

We chose Treasure Data for the supreme customer service and lack of hidden costs. We don't need to manage any infrastructure or scale anything to meet customer demand. Treasure Data handles everything and makes it easy for us to integrate and focus on the tasks at hand. There may be cheaper options but we do not regret our decision to go with Treasure Data one bit.

In abi we do have a lot of data coming every day, so treasure data always give us god solutions and options that would fix the problem.

• Single support from a single vendor with both machine and database from Oracle, which is costing us less.
• With Exadata, we need less technical manpower and less technical support. A business transaction with the integrated and centralized database helps us focus on other business needs.
• We don't need to buy additional licenses and Hardware for the next 3 to 5 years.

• We have built and supported our source of truth data tables using Treasure. This forms the foundation of our decision making.
• Most of our Tableau data sources are created using a Treasure Data export which is executed by workflows on a daily basis which allows us to have visibility into day to day performance and communicate them to a wide variety of roles.
• We load custom data into our Salesforce instance which allows us to trigger certain workflows and build accountability - i.e. a "Sale" will only count once a certain product driven event occurs which comes from data we pipe into Treasure and then into Salesforce.
