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."We can use virtualization on Exadata."
"They just have a lot of products, and they work well together."
"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."
"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."
"The offloading of data to the SIM is a valuable feature."
"Complete management occurs from one single address instead of different servers."
"The ease of setup is an eight out of ten."
"The most valuable feature is the time to solution."
"Eighty percent of the ETL operations have improved since implementing this solution."
"I have found the solution to be scalable."
"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."
"Bulk loads, batch loads, and micro-batch loads have made it possible for our organization to process near real-time ingestions and faster analytics."
"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. "
"It has improved my organization's functionality and performance."
"DBAs don’t need to add a partition every month/quarter like with other DBs."
"We have a little trepidation with the system as it does have a learning curve. Also changing to a binary logging format for us feels like retrograde motion, but sadly almost all Linux variants have moved in this direction."
"The solution could always be more stable and more reliable."
"I believe Oracle must improve its procedure to support the clients. The customer Ready Service must provide more use cases and benchmarks of their infrastructure to support client design decisions. Oracle must audit their partners regularly to guarantee they provide quality service even after been passed on partnership examination."
"The technical support is in need of improvement."
"It would be nice to have a single click button to, say, migrate my VMware VM into the Oracle VM, or vice-versa."
"Certification should also be improved. Today, Oracle doesn't certify applications with engineered systems."
"Patching must be simplified."
"License or upgrade management can be difficult and time consuming because it requires login to a separate console."
"Vertica can improve automation and documentation. Additionally, the solution can be simplified."
"It would be great if this were a managed service in AWS."
"We faced some challenges when trying to use the temporary tables feature."
"Fact-to-fact joins on multi-billion record tables perform poorly."
"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."
"In my opinion, Vertica's documentation could be improved. Currently, there is not enough documentation available to gain a comprehensive understanding of the platform."
"Documentation has become much better, but can always use some improvement."
"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."
