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."Exadata with the In-Memory option is several levels about SAP HANA."
"The performance of the data is the most important part."
"Before using this machine, we took no less than two days to run a report. Now, we can do it within five hours. So, there is a lot of improvement."
"The business intelligence is very good."
"The technical support team are real professionals. I admire their technical skills and supports. Their supports are really admirable."
"It is a highly relevant option with extreme performance."
"A very stable solution, which we have hardly any problems with."
"We can use virtualization on Exadata."
"Vertica's most outstanding features are the compression rates achieved and the speed of access of high volume data."
"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. "
"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."
"The most valuable feature is Vertica's performance and the ease of using the database."
"I don't need any special hardware. I can use commodity hardware, which is nice to have in a commercial solution."
"It maximizes cloud economics with Eon Mode by scaling cluster size to meet variable workload demands."
"Bulk loads, batch loads, and micro-batch loads have made it possible for our organization to process near real-time ingestions and faster analytics."
"The integration with third-party applications regarding access management security could be better."
"License or upgrade management can be difficult and time consuming because it requires login to a separate console."
"The solution could always be more stable and more reliable."
"Setting up Exadata is complex. You need an Oracle vendor or someone who is Oracle-certified to set it up."
"Certification should also be improved. Today, Oracle doesn't certify applications with engineered systems."
"I would like to see more database features and maybe more archiving features, because we need to do data archiving."
"The cost of the solution is high and can be improved."
"The management monitoring tools are quite important and an area that needs some improvement."
"They could improve on customer service."
"The biggest problem is the cost of cloud deployment."
"They could improve the integration and some of the features in the cloud version."
"Monitoring tools need to be lightweight. They should not take up heavy resources of the main server."
"The documentation of Vertica is an area with shortcomings where improvements are required."
"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."
"We faced some challenges when trying to use the temporary tables feature."
"In a future release, we would like to have artificial intelligence capabilities like neural networks. Customers are demanding this type of analytics."
