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 most valuable feature is that you have the same familiar environment of an Oracle database but with the additional performance you get from this architecture."
"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."
"It offers a significant advantage for accommodating a large number of users."
"The performance of the data is the most important part."
"On-premises Exadata is just as stable as the cloud version. It's a very stable platform."
"The most valuable feature is the time to solution."
"The new Exadata x9m has an even higher speed of 100GBps connectivity."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Exadata is the integration with other solutions, such as SAN storage and shared VLAN network."
"Vertica enabled us to close large deals. Customers with large data sets had to be migrated from PostgreSQL to Vertica due to performance."
"I have found the solution to be scalable."
"We are able to integrate our Vertica data warehouse with Tableau to create numerous reports quickly and efficiently."
"Vertica's most outstanding features are the compression rates achieved and the speed of access of high volume data."
"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."
"The performance is very good and the aggregate records are fast."
"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. "
"For me, It's performance, scalability, low cost, and it's integrated into enterprise and big data environments."
"Oracle Exadata could improve by having faster data retrieval. We receive data at four or five seconds and want to reduce that number to one second."
"The technical support is in need of improvement."
"Since the product is an appliance, it is very costly."
"The cost of the solution is high and can be improved."
"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."
"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."
"Certification should also be improved. Today, Oracle doesn't certify applications with engineered systems."
"If you do not utilize the tuning tools like projections, encoding, partitions, and statistics, then performance and scalability will suffer."
"The geospatial functionality could be designed better."
"One feature, which has really benefited us, is the scalability offered by Vertica as it has enabled Pythian's clients to manage data with agility."
"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."
"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."
"Some of our small to medium-sized customers would like to see containerization and flexibility from the deployment standpoint."
"The documentation of Vertica is an area with shortcomings where improvements are required."
"In my opinion, Vertica's documentation could be improved. Currently, there is not enough documentation available to gain a comprehensive understanding of the platform."
