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."Complete management occurs from one single address instead of different servers."
"Regarding features, there are so many that we can offer to customers. When we sell Exadata Cloud, there are many options to choose from, especially when it comes to enterprise database options. In my experience, the main features that are appreciated are various ones like GPS and the assortment of security options."
"The offloading of data to the SIM is a valuable feature."
"The business intelligence is very good."
"Exadata with the In-Memory option is several levels about SAP HANA."
"It is the best solution for OLTP and data warehousing."
"Exadata is also a very stable environment. Their Smart Scan feature is great for every banking environment and financial institutions willing to implement it."
"Oracle Exadata's performance is one of its best features. We very satisfied with it."
"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. "
"Vertica gives knowledgeable users and DBAs excellent tools for tuning."
"I like the projection feature, which increases query performance."
"The solution is quick, has good compression data, and is not expensive."
"The Vertica architecture means it can process/ingest data in parallel to reporting and analyzing because of its in-memory Write-Optimized Storage sitting alongside the analytics optimized Read-Optimized Storage."
"DBAs don’t need to add a partition every month/quarter like with other DBs."
"The feature of the product that is most important is the speed. I needed a columnar database, and its speed is what it's built to do, and so that's what really does differentiate Vertica from its competitors."
"I have found the solution to be scalable."
"A room for improvement in Oracle Exadata is that it's not very easy to use in a microservices environment. It's not easy to split databases, and if this was easier to do in Oracle Exadata, it would make the solution better. What I'd like to see in the next release of Oracle Exadata is for it to become more modular, so you can use it in a context where the data layer is spread between many independent services."
"I believe Oracle must improve its procedure to support the clients. The customer Ready Service must provide more use cases and benchmarks of their infrastructure to support client design decisions. Oracle must audit their partners regularly to guarantee they provide quality service even after been passed on partnership examination."
"The solution's pricing is very high."
"The management monitoring tools are quite important and an area that needs some improvement."
"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."
"There is room for improvement with the handling of the Temp IO, which is often used for JOIN statements."
"We used the support from Oracle Exadata to complete the implementation."
"Patching must be simplified."
"Support is an area where it could get better."
"Documentation has become much better, but can always use some improvement."
"It would be great if this were a managed service in AWS."
"I believe the installation process could be streamlined."
"I have found that coding support could be simplified."
"We faced some challenges when trying to use the temporary tables feature."
"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."
"The integration of this solution with ODI could be improved."
