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 with the In-Memory option is several levels about SAP HANA."
"Oracle is known to be the number one in their industry; the help and support, the features they are giving the clients comparing to other databases, the new technology, the provide a good solution."
"It is a highly relevant option with extreme performance."
"Oracle Exadata's performance is one of its best features. We very satisfied with it."
"The performance on the databases is good."
"Backup/Restore performance: Fast backups, fast restores (especially useful for creating clone environments)."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Exadata is the integration with other solutions, such as SAN storage and shared VLAN network."
"The offloading of data to the SIM is a valuable feature."
"Integrated R and geospatial functions are helping us improve efficiency and explore new revenue streams. "
"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."
"The most valuable feature of Vertica is the ability to receive large aggregations at a very quick pace. The use case of subclusters is very good."
"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."
"Initiate on one node, and the RPM propagates automatically to all other nodes. "
"The fast columnar store database structure allows our query times to be at least 10x faster than on any other database."
"Its projections and encoding are excellent tools for tuning large volumes."
"I have found the solution to be scalable."
"Since the product is an appliance, it is very costly."
"Patching must be simplified."
"It would be good if Exadata made some new features available regarding data retrieval and speed capacity functions."
"We have experienced some issues with processing unstructured data on Exadata. This is an important requirement for our AIML based use case. Reactive analytics data can not be prepared easily in Oracle Exadata."
"Sometimes it takes too long time to get help with technical issues."
"Certification should also be improved. Today, Oracle doesn't certify applications with engineered systems."
"The integration with third-party applications regarding access management security could be better."
"The performance could be improved."
"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."
"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."
"Support is an area where it could get better."
"The integration of this solution with ODI could be improved."
"Monitoring tools need to be lightweight. They should not take up heavy resources of the main server."
"It needs integration with multiple clouds."
"It would be great if this were a managed service in AWS."
"Whatever's out, the core is not always as great as the engine, especially their first version."
