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."The business intelligence is very good."
"The most valuable feature is the time to solution."
"We have used this solution for a long period of time so it has become easy for us to query any kind of data from Oracle Exadata which has been valuable."
"The tool's performance is good."
"On-premises Exadata is just as stable as the cloud version. It's a very stable platform."
"What I like most about Oracle Exadata is its smart scan feature. I also like that it supports higher capacities and it's high-performing, so my company can use Oracle Exadata for massive databases."
"Oracle Exadata's performance is one of its best features. We very satisfied with it."
"It is a scalable solution."
"Any novice user can tune vertical queries with minimal training (or no training at all)."
"Vertica's most outstanding features are the compression rates achieved and the speed of access of high volume data."
"Allows us to take volumes and process them at a very high speed."
"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 able to integrate our Vertica data warehouse with Tableau to create numerous reports quickly and efficiently."
"Vertica is a great product because customers can compress and code data. The infrastructure that data warehouse solutions need is a commodity server so that customers don't have to invest in infrastructure."
"Partition and join back to node are easy and simple for DBAs."
"Vertica is a columnar database, this support our developments in analytics, advanced analytics, and ETL process with large sets of data."
"I would like to see more database features and maybe more archiving features, because we need to do data archiving."
"I liked Spark, but it was discontinued when Exadata L6 came back. I loved it, and I wish they would bring back Spark integration."
"License or upgrade management can be difficult and time consuming because it requires login to a separate console."
"It's too expensive per terabyte. It's complex."
"The handling of temp space has room for improvement."
"We used the support from Oracle Exadata to complete the implementation."
"The solution could always be more stable and more reliable."
"Oracle Exadata could improve the monitoring system in the enterprise manager, it could be more user-friendly. In most Oracle tools there is a lot of functionality, and sometimes you need to do five or six clicks to find metrics, and sometimes it's a waste of time."
"The documentation of Vertica is an area with shortcomings where improvements are required."
"Performance of management of metadata layer (database catalog) needs improvement. We still have to have smaller customers on PostgreSQL; Vertica cannot manage thousands of schemata."
"I believe the installation process could be streamlined."
"Vertica can improve automation and documentation. Additionally, the solution can be simplified."
"Some of our small to medium-sized customers would like to see containerization and flexibility from the deployment standpoint."
"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."
"Fact-to-fact joins on multi-billion record tables perform poorly."
"Limitations in group by projections is where I would like to see an improvement."
