We performed a comparison between Oracle Exadata and Vertica based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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 most valuable feature of Oracle Exadata is the storage available."
"What I like best about Oracle Exadata is its good performance. It's also a very fast solution."
"The technical support team are real professionals. I admire their technical skills and supports. Their supports are really admirable."
"Oracle Exadata has very good hardware."
"Before using this machine, we took no less than two days to run a report. Now, we can do it within five hours. So, there is a lot of improvement."
"The product is flexible."
"Backup/Restore performance: Fast backups, fast restores (especially useful for creating clone environments)."
"Exadata with the In-Memory option is several levels about SAP HANA."
"Initiate on one node, and the RPM propagates automatically to all other nodes. "
"The most valuable feature of Vertica is the unmatchable database performance."
"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."
"Vertica's most outstanding features are the compression rates achieved and the speed of access of high volume data."
"I don't need any special hardware. I can use commodity hardware, which is nice to have in a commercial solution."
"Vertica enabled us to close large deals. Customers with large data sets had to be migrated from PostgreSQL to Vertica due to performance."
"I have found the solution to be scalable."
"Vertica gives knowledgeable users and DBAs excellent tools for tuning."
"The integration with third-party applications regarding access management security could be better."
"The handling of temp space has room for improvement."
"The scalability can be improved as it is not a parallel execution."
"Setting up Exadata is complex. You need an Oracle vendor or someone who is Oracle-certified to set it up."
"I would like to see more database features and maybe more archiving features, because we need to do data archiving."
"Patching must be simplified."
"There is one aspect to Exadata that I dislike, and that's the inconsistency with other databases. When you try to get Exadata to function with another type of database like SQL, or others, there should be reliable and consistent operation. When this is improved on, we should start to see more applications growing the market."
"The initial setup process is very difficult and extremely complex."
"The geospatial functionality could be designed better."
"I would personally like to see extended developer tooling suited to Vertica – think published PowerDesigner SQL dialect support."
"The documentation of Vertica is an area with shortcomings where improvements are required."
"It needs integration with multiple clouds."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The integration of this solution with ODI could be improved."
