Find out in this report how the two Data Warehouse solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."They just have a lot of products, and they work well together."
"Complete management occurs from one single address instead of different servers."
"The technical support team are real professionals. I admire their technical skills and supports. Their supports are really admirable."
"The tool's performance is good."
"Oracle Exadata is stable."
"The most valuable feature is the time to solution."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Exadata is its capabilities for storing and processing data. It is very good for our domain."
"The performance of the data is the most important part."
"Its analytics has enabled Pythian's clients to get the business insights as quick as they wanted. Its lower maintenance has also improved the ROI."
"Vertica gives knowledgeable users and DBAs excellent tools for tuning."
"Bulk loads, batch loads, and micro-batch loads have made it possible for our organization to process near real-time ingestions and faster analytics."
"Vertica has a few features that I like. From an architecture standpoint, they have separated compute and storage. So you have low-cost object storage for primary storage and the ability to have several sub-clusters working off the same ObjectStore. So it provides workload isolation."
"We are also opening new areas of business and potential new revenue streams using Vertica's analytic functions, most notably geospatial, where we are able to run billions of comparisons of lat/long point locations against polygon and point/radius locations in seconds. "
"The most valuable feature of Vertica is the unmatchable database performance."
"The solution is quick, has good compression data, and is not expensive."
"We are able to integrate our Vertica data warehouse with Tableau to create numerous reports quickly and efficiently."
"Certification should also be improved. Today, Oracle doesn't certify applications with engineered systems."
"We have experienced some issues with processing unstructured data on Exadata. This is an important requirement for our AIML based use case. Reactive analytics data can not be prepared easily in Oracle Exadata."
"It would be nice to have a single click button to, say, migrate my VMware VM into the Oracle VM, or vice-versa."
"Checking the Smart Scan issues is complicated."
"Since the product is an appliance, it is very costly."
"We need a monitoring tool which can in one place, where we can manage, monitor the entire Exadata components."
"The integration with third-party applications regarding access management security could be better."
"It would be good if Exadata made some new features available regarding data retrieval and speed capacity functions."
"It should provide a GUI interface for data management and tuning."
"We are looking for a cheaper deployment for the solution. Although we did a lot of benchmarks, like Redshift. We tried Redshift, it didn't work. It didn't work out for us as well."
"Fact-to-fact joins on multi-billion record tables perform poorly."
"They could improve the integration and some of the features in the cloud version."
"I think they need an easy client so that you can write queries easily, but it's not necessarily a weak point. I think some users would need them."
"If you do not utilize the tuning tools like projections, encoding, partitions, and statistics, then performance and scalability will suffer."
"We faced some challenges when trying to use the temporary tables feature."
"I believe the installation process could be streamlined."
