"A very stable solution, which we have hardly any problems with."
"The tool's performance is good."
"Complete management occurs from one single address instead of different servers."
"The performance on the databases is good."
"The business intelligence is very good."
"It is the best solution for OLTP and data warehousing."
"DBAs don’t need to add a partition every month/quarter like with other DBs."
"I don't need any special hardware. I can use commodity hardware, which is nice to have in a commercial solution."
"Partition and join back to node are easy and simple for DBAs."
"The most valuable feature of Vertica is the unmatchable database performance."
"Vertica's most outstanding features are the compression rates achieved and the speed of access of high volume data."
"We are able to integrate our Vertica data warehouse with Tableau to create numerous reports quickly and efficiently."
"For me, It's performance, scalability, low cost, and it's integrated into enterprise and big data environments."
"Integrated R and geospatial functions are helping us improve efficiency and explore new revenue streams. "
"The improvement could be made on the hardware level as the habit in the industry is to go better and faster and larger with every iteration."

"The management monitoring tools are quite important and an area that needs some improvement."
"Tech support sometimes takes some time to identify and rectify issues."
"It's too expensive per terabyte. It's complex."
"We have a little trepidation with the system as it does have a learning curve. Also changing to a binary logging format for us feels like retrograde motion, but sadly almost all Linux variants have moved in this direction."

"The solution's pricing is very high."
"Support is an area where it could get better."
"Very bad support, I would rate it two out of 10."
"One feature, which has really benefited us, is the scalability offered by Vertica as it has enabled Pythian's clients to manage data with agility."
"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 would be great if this were a managed service in AWS."
"Documentation has become much better, but can always use some improvement."
"The integration of this solution with ODI could be improved."
"Monitoring tools need to be lightweight. They should not take up heavy resources of the main server."
