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."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 new Exadata x9m has an even higher speed of 100GBps connectivity."
"It is the best solution for OLTP and data warehousing."
"Exadata with the In-Memory option is several levels about SAP HANA."
"Oracle Exadata has very good hardware."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Exadata is the integration with other solutions, such as SAN storage and shared VLAN network."
"What I like best about Oracle Exadata is its good performance. It's also a very fast solution."
"On-premises Exadata is just as stable as the cloud version. It's a very stable platform."
"Initiate on one node, and the RPM propagates automatically to all other nodes. "
"The solution has great capabilities. The tool that instructs the internal database forward is easy to use and is very powerful."
"Any novice user can tune vertical queries with minimal training (or no training at all)."
"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."
"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."
"Integrated R and geospatial functions are helping us improve efficiency and explore new revenue streams. "
"The most valuable feature is Vertica's performance and the ease of using the database."
"I believe Oracle must improve its procedure to support the clients. The customer Ready Service must provide more use cases and benchmarks of their infrastructure to support client design decisions. Oracle must audit their partners regularly to guarantee they provide quality service even after been passed on partnership examination."
"There's room for improvement in terms of deployment, as it could be made faster and more user-friendly."
"Since the product is an appliance, it is very costly."
"We used the support from Oracle Exadata to complete the implementation."
"The performance could be improved."
"Checking the Smart Scan issues is complicated."
"Patching must be simplified."
"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."
"Suboptimal projection design causes queries to not scale linearly."
"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."
"Documentation has become much better, but can always use some improvement."
"The geospatial functionality could be designed better."
"In my opinion, Vertica's documentation could be improved. Currently, there is not enough documentation available to gain a comprehensive understanding of the platform."
"There are a lot of limitations within this product and it makes things extremely hard for developers. It lacks Stored Procedure, packages, and triggers like other RDBMs."
"Vertica offers a platform-as-a-service version, but their software-as-a-service solution is only available on AWS. They need to get a SaaS version on Azure and GCP as fast as possible."
"They could improve the integration and some of the features in the cloud version."
