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."Oracle has reliable solutions and this one is no different."
"Oracle Exadata's performance is one of its best features. We very satisfied with it."
"We like the tool’s features like Smart Scan, Hybrid Columnar Compression, and the TFA."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the time to solution."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Exadata is its capabilities for storing and processing data. It is very good for our domain."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Exadata is the storage available."
"It is a scalable solution."
"I appreciate the flexibility offered by Vertica's projections. It allows for modifying the primary projection without altering the tables, which helps to optimize queries without the need to modify the underlying data."
"It maximizes cloud economics with Eon Mode by scaling cluster size to meet variable workload demands."
"It maximize cloud economics for mission-critical big data analytical initiatives."
"Allows us to take volumes and process them at a very high speed."
"The solution has great capabilities. The tool that instructs the internal database forward is easy to use and is very powerful."
"The solution is quick, has good compression data, and is not expensive."
"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."
"It's too expensive per terabyte. It's complex."
"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."
"It would be nice to have a single click button to, say, migrate my VMware VM into the Oracle VM, or vice-versa."
"It would be good if Exadata made some new features available regarding data retrieval and speed capacity functions."
"Sometimes it takes too long time to get help with technical issues."
"Oracle Exadata has room for improvement in pricing, especially for smaller companies. The solution is okay for bigger companies, but for smaller companies, it isn't."
"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 a feature for security, but it is not included in the first purchase of this solution. That means if you need to increase the security, you need to buy the security feature which doesn't come by default on these solutions."
"Fact-to-fact joins on multi-billion record tables perform poorly."
"It needs integration with multiple clouds."
"If you do not utilize the tuning tools like projections, encoding, partitions, and statistics, then performance and scalability will suffer."
"Whatever's out, the core is not always as great as the engine, especially their first version."
"I believe the installation process could be streamlined."
"Support is an area where it could get better."
"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."
"They could improve on customer service."
