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 is a highly relevant option with extreme performance."
"Exadata is also a very stable environment. Their Smart Scan feature is great for every banking environment and financial institutions willing to implement it."
"The new Exadata x9m has an even higher speed of 100GBps connectivity."
"The performance of the data is the most important part."
"We can use virtualization on Exadata."
"The data replication is very good."
"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."
"Oracle Exadata is stable."
"Allows us to take volumes and process them at a very high speed."
"It maximizes cloud economics with Eon Mode by scaling cluster size to meet variable workload demands."
"Vertica is a columnar database, this support our developments in analytics, advanced analytics, and ETL process with large sets of data."
"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. "
"Vertica's most outstanding features are the compression rates achieved and the speed of access of high volume data."
"I have found the solution to be scalable."
"Vertica enabled us to close large deals. Customers with large data sets had to be migrated from PostgreSQL to Vertica due to performance."
"Vertica is a columnar database where the query performance is extremely fast and it can be used for real-time integrations for API and other applications. The solution requires zero maintenance which is helpful."
"The cost of the solution is high and can be improved."
"The customization can sometimes be difficult to achieve."
"It would be good if Exadata made some new features available regarding data retrieval and speed capacity functions."
"Tech support sometimes takes some time to identify and rectify issues."
"There is room for improvement with the handling of the Temp IO, which is often used for JOIN statements."
"It is difficult to evaluate return-on-investment because of the way billing is handled for the product. This should be improved by oracle."
"Setting up Exadata is complex. You need an Oracle vendor or someone who is Oracle-certified to set it up."
"License or upgrade management can be difficult and time consuming because it requires login to a separate console."
"It needs integration with multiple clouds."
"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."
"We faced some challenges when trying to use the temporary tables feature."
"Documentation has become much better, but can always use some improvement."
"Whatever's out, the core is not always as great as the engine, especially their first version."
"It would be great if this were a managed service in AWS."
"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."
"I think they need an easy client so that you can write queries easily, but it's not necessarily a weak point. I think some users would need them."
