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 the best solution for OLTP and data warehousing."
"Oracle Exadata is stable."
"We like the tool’s features like Smart Scan, Hybrid Columnar Compression, and the TFA."
"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."
"Backup/Restore performance: Fast backups, fast restores (especially useful for creating clone environments)."
"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."
"The ease of setup is an eight out of ten."
"Oracle is easy to use for peripheral things, such as the data vault and the data firewall, data sync, and partitions. These are the features that give an edge to other databases."
"The most valuable feature is Vertica's performance and the ease of using the database."
"The fast columnar store database structure allows our query times to be at least 10x faster than on any other database."
"Vertica enabled us to close large deals. Customers with large data sets had to be migrated from PostgreSQL to Vertica due to performance."
"Its projections and encoding are excellent tools for tuning large volumes."
"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."
"Vertica gives knowledgeable users and DBAs excellent tools for tuning."
"The most valuable feature of Vertica is the unmatchable database performance."
"We are able to integrate our Vertica data warehouse with Tableau to create numerous reports quickly and efficiently."
"Oracle Exadata could improve the monitoring system in the enterprise manager, it could be more user-friendly. In most Oracle tools there is a lot of functionality, and sometimes you need to do five or six clicks to find metrics, and sometimes it's a waste of time."
"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."
"Setting up Exadata is complex. You need an Oracle vendor or someone who is Oracle-certified to set it up."
"I have found Oracle Exadata to be scalable. However, you have to purchase more hardware, such as memory."
"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 integration with third-party applications regarding access management security could be better."
"It would be good if Exadata made some new features available regarding data retrieval and speed capacity functions."
"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."
"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."
"Vertica can improve automation and documentation. Additionally, the solution can be simplified."
"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."
"Vertica's native cloud support could be improved, and its installation could be made easier."
"When it is about to reach the maximum storage capacity, it becomes slow."
"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."
"The integration of this solution with ODI could be improved."
