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 of Oracle Exadata is its capabilities for storing and processing data. It is very good for our domain."
"The data replication is very good."
"We have used this solution for a long period of time so it has become easy for us to query any kind of data from Oracle Exadata which has been valuable."
"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."
"Oracle Exadata is stable."
"Backup/Restore performance: Fast backups, fast restores (especially useful for creating clone environments)."
"It is the best solution for OLTP and data warehousing."
"The business intelligence is very good."
"Vertica is a great product because customers can compress and code data. The infrastructure that data warehouse solutions need is a commodity server so that customers don't have to invest in infrastructure."
"The most valuable feature is Vertica's performance and the ease of using the database."
"The fast columnar store database structure allows our query times to be at least 10x faster than on any other database."
"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."
"It maximize cloud economics for mission-critical big data analytical initiatives."
"Its projections and encoding are excellent tools for tuning large volumes."
"Integrated R and geospatial functions are helping us improve efficiency and explore new revenue streams. "
"The performance is very good and the aggregate records are fast."
"There's room for improvement in terms of deployment, as it could be made faster and more user-friendly."
"We have experienced some issues with processing unstructured data on Exadata. This is an important requirement for our AIML based use case. Reactive analytics data can not be prepared easily in Oracle Exadata."
"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."
"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."
"Oracle Exadata could improve the monitoring system in the enterprise manager, it could be more user-friendly. In most Oracle tools there is a lot of functionality, and sometimes you need to do five or six clicks to find metrics, and sometimes it's a waste of time."
"There is room for improvement with the handling of the Temp IO, which is often used for JOIN statements."
"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."
"The cost of the solution is high and can be improved."
"The integration with AI has room for improvement."
"When it is about to reach the maximum storage capacity, it becomes slow."
"Vertica can improve automation and documentation. Additionally, the solution can be simplified."
"The documentation of Vertica is an area with shortcomings where improvements are required."
"If you do not utilize the tuning tools like projections, encoding, partitions, and statistics, then performance and scalability will suffer."
"Documentation has become much better, but can always use some improvement."
"Whatever's out, the core is not always as great as the engine, especially their first version."
"Limitations in group by projections is where I would like to see an improvement."
