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 Exadata is stable."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Exadata is the storage available."
"We can use virtualization on Exadata."
"It offers a significant advantage for accommodating a large number of users."
"This product can noticeably enhance performance of contextual Oracle databases."
"What I like most about Oracle Exadata is its smart scan feature. I also like that it supports higher capacities and it's high-performing, so my company can use Oracle Exadata for massive databases."
"The performance of the data is the most important part."
"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."
"For me, It's performance, scalability, low cost, and it's integrated into enterprise and big data environments."
"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. "
"Its projections and encoding are excellent tools for tuning large volumes."
"I don't need any special hardware. I can use commodity hardware, which is nice to have in a commercial solution."
"Vertica enabled us to close large deals. Customers with large data sets had to be migrated from PostgreSQL to Vertica due to performance."
"The extensibility and efficiency provided by their C++ SDK."
"It has improved my organization's functionality and performance."
"The hardware usage and speed has been the most valuable feature of this solution. It is very fast and has saved us a lot of money."
"It's too expensive per terabyte. It's complex."
"The integration with third-party applications regarding access management security could be better."
"The solution takes a lot of time to clone the environment. I would like to see some improvement in the cloning support or the time it takes on the storage side."
"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."
"There is room for improvement with the handling of the Temp IO, which is often used for JOIN statements."
"I have found Oracle Exadata to be scalable. However, you have to purchase more hardware, such as memory."
"It is difficult to evaluate return-on-investment because of the way billing is handled for the product. This should be improved by oracle."
"Checking the Smart Scan issues is complicated."
"It needs integration with multiple clouds."
"Vertica offers a platform-as-a-service version, but their software-as-a-service solution is only available on AWS. They need to get a SaaS version on Azure and GCP as fast as possible."
"Promotion/marketing must be improved, even though it is a very useful product at very good price, it is not as "popular" as it should be."
"Support is an area where it could get better."
"Very bad support, I would rate it two out of 10."
"Vertica can improve automation and documentation. Additionally, the solution can be simplified."
"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 should provide a GUI interface for data management and tuning."
