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."It has improved the performance, now we run with more performance cores with less CPU to attend all the database demands. Reducing Time to Market, increase our ability to face the competition with speed and low cost."
"Exadata's best features are its performance during redo logging and the elasticity of the database handling."
"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."
"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."
"They just have a lot of products, and they work well together."
"Backup/Restore performance: Fast backups, fast restores (especially useful for creating clone environments)."
"We can use virtualization on Exadata."
"Oracle Exadata is stable."
"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."
"It has improved my organization's functionality and performance."
"Vertica enabled us to close large deals. Customers with large data sets had to be migrated from PostgreSQL to Vertica due to performance."
"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 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."
"Integrated R and geospatial functions are helping us improve efficiency and explore new revenue streams. "
"I appreciate the flexibility offered by Vertica's projections. It allows for modifying the primary projection without altering the tables, which helps to optimize queries without the need to modify the underlying data."
"DBAs don’t need to add a partition every month/quarter like with other DBs."
"The customization can sometimes be difficult to achieve."
"One small area for improvement in Oracle Exadata is integration, particularly at the consolidated application level."
"The setup is a little bit complex. We would like to see the installation part get easier."
"The technical support is in need of improvement."
"We had issues with system restoration."
"Oracle Exadata could improve the platform performance tuning should be easier, automated, and user-friendly."
"We need a monitoring tool which can in one place, where we can manage, monitor the entire Exadata components."
"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."
"It needs integration with multiple clouds."
"It would be great if this were a managed service in AWS."
"Very bad support, I would rate it two out of 10."
"Monitoring tools need to be lightweight. They should not take up heavy resources of the main server."
"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."
"The geospatial functionality could be designed better."
"Metadata for database files scale okay, but metadata related to tables/columns/sequences must be stored on all nodes."
"The documentation of Vertica is an area with shortcomings where improvements are required."
