We performed a comparison between Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop and Vertica based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two NoSQL Databases solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."In terms of scalability, if you have enough hardware you can scale out. Scalability doesn't have any issues."
"Provides a viable open-source solution for enterprise implementations and reliable, intelligent data analysis."
"The file system is a valuable feature."
"The scalability of Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop is excellent."
"The most valuable feature is that I can use CDH for almost all use cases across all industries, including the financial sector, public sector, private retailers, and so on."
"Customer service and support were able to fix whatever the issue was."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the enterprise data platform."
"We're now able to store large volumes of data through Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop. We're able to push large volumes of data to the platform, and that used to be a challenge, especially when storing a terabyte of information. This is the area where Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop improved the organization."
"The Vertica architecture means it can process/ingest data in parallel to reporting and analyzing because of its in-memory Write-Optimized Storage sitting alongside the analytics optimized Read-Optimized Storage."
"Vertica is easy to use and provides really high performance, stability, and scalability."
"It's the fastest database I have ever tested. That's the most important feature of Vertica."
"Allows us to take volumes and process them at a very high speed."

"The fast columnar store database structure allows our query times to be at least 10x faster than on any other database."
"Vertica's most outstanding features are the compression rates achieved and the speed of access of high volume data."
"Initiate on one node, and the RPM propagates automatically to all other nodes. "
"The Cloudera training has deteriorated significantly."
"Currently, we are using many other tools such as Spark and Blade Job to improve the performance."
"Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop is not always completely stable in some cases, which can be a concern for big data solutions."
"Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop has a limited feature list and a lot of costs involved."
"The one thing that we struggled with predominately was support. Because it was relatively new, support was always a big issue and I think it's still a bit of an ongoing concern with the team currently managing it."
"They should focus on upgrading their technical capabilities in the market."
"There are better solutions out there that have more features than this one."
"The initial setup of Cloudera is difficult."
"It's hard to make it slow for a small data volume. For large volumes, it's hard to make it work. It's also hard to make it faster, and to make it scale."
"Monitoring tools need to be lightweight. They should not take up heavy resources of the main server."
"They could improve the integration and some of the features in the cloud version."
"Promotion/marketing must be improved, even though it is a very useful product at very good price, it is not as "popular" as it should be."
"Vertica can improve automation and documentation. Additionally, the solution can be simplified."
