"Compression is a great feature, where one can really save a lot of storage."
"Oracle Exadata has very good hardware."
"Complete management occurs from one single address instead of different servers."
"The storage capacity and the performance of Oracle Exadata are good. When comparing the performance to other technologies it is very good. I am satisfied with the management of the solution."
"The technical support team are real professionals. I admire their technical skills and supports. Their supports are really admirable."
"Its projections and encoding are excellent tools for tuning large volumes."
"Vertica gives knowledgeable users and DBAs excellent tools for tuning."
"DBAs don’t need to add a partition every month/quarter like with other DBs."
"Integrated R and geospatial functions are helping us improve efficiency and explore new revenue streams. "
"Speed and resiliency are probably the best parts of this product."
"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."

"We used the support from Oracle Exadata to complete the implementation."
"The integration with third-party applications regarding access management security could be better."

"Checking the Smart Scan issues is complicated."
"The biggest problem is the cost of cloud deployment."

"Some of our small to medium-sized customers would like to see containerization and flexibility from the deployment standpoint."
"Vertica offers a platform-as-a-service version, but their software-as-a-service solution is only available on AWS. They need to get a SaaS version on Azure and GCP as fast as possible."
