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 is that you have the same familiar environment of an Oracle database but with the additional performance you get from this architecture."
"What I found most valuable in Oracle Exadata is its newer technology that gives better performance. It has more recent hardware and significant changes in the architecture, so it's better than older solutions."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The product is flexible."
"We can use virtualization on Exadata."
"The data replication is very good."
"The ease of setup is an eight out of ten."
"Exadata is also a very stable environment. Their Smart Scan feature is great for every banking environment and financial institutions willing to implement it."
"Vertica is a columnar database, this support our developments in analytics, advanced analytics, and ETL process with large sets of data."
"The most valuable feature is Vertica's performance and the ease of using the database."
"Vertica gives knowledgeable users and DBAs excellent tools for tuning."
"The solution is quick, has good compression data, and is not expensive."
"The feature I like best is performance. We use Red Tool and Red Job for the data warehouse and reporting. It's perfect. Performance is good, and it can return ad hoc queries very quickly. Of course, it's a cluster, so it's easy to scale."
"The solution has great capabilities. The tool that instructs the internal database forward is easy to use and is very powerful."
"I enjoy the cybersecurity and backup features."
"Vertica's most outstanding features are the compression rates achieved and the speed of access of high volume data."
"The initial setup process is very difficult and extremely complex."
"The scalability can be improved as it is not a parallel execution."
"I would like to see more database features and maybe more archiving features, because we need to do data archiving."
"Oracle Exadata compatibility with the analytics could be better and the OBIEE could improve. Oracle BI to Exadata needs to be improved. Even if the full analytics practice for Oracle should be improved and when compared with other solutions it is weak."
"I have found Oracle Exadata to be scalable. However, you have to purchase more hardware, such as memory."
"Exadata would be improved with single dashboard visibility."
"It would be nice to have a single click button to, say, migrate my VMware VM into the Oracle VM, or vice-versa."
"In a future release, I would like to see some upgrade analysis advisors to help with a clear roadmap on steps that need to be taken and some of the automated processes."
"There are a lot of limitations within this product and it makes things extremely hard for developers. It lacks Stored Procedure, packages, and triggers like other RDBMs."
"When it is about to reach the maximum storage capacity, it becomes slow."
"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."
"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."
"In my opinion, Vertica's documentation could be improved. Currently, there is not enough documentation available to gain a comprehensive understanding of the platform."
"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."
"The integration of this solution with ODI could be improved."
"If you do not utilize the tuning tools like projections, encoding, partitions, and statistics, then performance and scalability will suffer."
