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 storage capacity and the performance of Oracle Exadata are good. When comparing the performance to other technologies it is very good. I am satisfied with the management of the solution."
"Oracle is easy to use for peripheral things, such as the data vault and the data firewall, data sync, and partitions. These are the features that give an edge to other databases."
"Backup/Restore performance: Fast backups, fast restores (especially useful for creating clone environments)."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Exadata is the integration with other solutions, such as SAN storage and shared VLAN network."
"We like the tool’s features like Smart Scan, Hybrid Columnar Compression, and the TFA."
"Exadata is a fantastic machine. Two features stand out. The first is the resource input/output management tool that allows you to manage the resources to the neck on the Exadata box."
"They just have a lot of products, and they work well together."
"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."
"DBAs don’t need to add a partition every month/quarter like with other DBs."
"The solution has great capabilities. The tool that instructs the internal database forward is easy to use and is very powerful."
"It maximize cloud economics for mission-critical big data analytical initiatives."
"Vertica's most outstanding features are the compression rates achieved and the speed of access of high volume data."
"I enjoy the cybersecurity and backup features."
"The performance is very good and the aggregate records are fast."
"The fast columnar store database structure allows our query times to be at least 10x faster than on any other database."
"Vertica is a columnar database, this support our developments in analytics, advanced analytics, and ETL process with large sets of data."
"It's too expensive per terabyte. It's complex."
"Exadata would be improved with single dashboard visibility."
"The solution lacks a visualized console."
"I have found Oracle Exadata to be scalable. However, you have to purchase more hardware, such as memory."
"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."
"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."
"One small area for improvement in Oracle Exadata is integration, particularly at the consolidated application level."
"The customization can sometimes be difficult to achieve."
"Support is an area where it could get better."
"In a future release, we would like to have artificial intelligence capabilities like neural networks. Customers are demanding this type of analytics."
"The integration with AI has room for improvement."
"It should provide a GUI interface for data management and tuning."
"When it is about to reach the maximum storage capacity, it becomes slow."
"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."
"Performance of management of metadata layer (database catalog) needs improvement. We still have to have smaller customers on PostgreSQL; Vertica cannot manage thousands of schemata."
"Limitations in group by projections is where I would like to see an improvement."
