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."Exadata is also a very stable environment. Their Smart Scan feature is great for every banking environment and financial institutions willing to implement it."
"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 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."
"Oracle Exadata has very good hardware."
"Oracle has reliable solutions and this one is no different."
"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."
"We like the tool’s features like Smart Scan, Hybrid Columnar Compression, and the TFA."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Exadata is its capabilities for storing and processing data. It is very good for our domain."
"It maximizes cloud economics with Eon Mode by scaling cluster size to meet variable workload demands."
"The performance is very good and the aggregate records are fast."
"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."
"I like the projection feature, which increases query performance."
"It has improved my organization's functionality and performance."
"The Vertica architecture means it can process/ingest data in parallel to reporting and analyzing because of its in-memory Write-Optimized Storage sitting alongside the analytics optimized Read-Optimized Storage."
"It's the fastest database I have ever tested. That's the most important feature of Vertica."
"Partition and join back to node are easy and simple for DBAs."
"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."
"Setting up Exadata is complex. You need an Oracle vendor or someone who is Oracle-certified to set it up."
"There's room for improvement in terms of deployment, as it could be made faster and more user-friendly."
"I would like to see more database features and maybe more archiving features, because we need to do data archiving."
"It would be good if Exadata made some new features available regarding data retrieval and speed capacity functions."
"The scalability can be improved as it is not a parallel execution."
"The solution's pricing is very high."
"The customization can sometimes be difficult to achieve."
"Whatever's out, the core is not always as great as the engine, especially their first version."
"Suboptimal projection design causes queries to not scale linearly."
"Very bad support, I would rate it two out of 10."
"It needs integration with multiple clouds."
"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."
"It's hard to make it slow for a small data volume. For large volumes, it's hard to make it work. It's also hard to make it faster, and to make it scale."
"It would be great if this were a managed service in AWS."
"They could improve on customer service."
