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 of Oracle Exadata is its capabilities for storing and processing data. It is very good for our domain."
"The new Exadata x9m has an even higher speed of 100GBps connectivity."
"On-premises Exadata is just as stable as the cloud version. It's a very stable platform."
"Exadata's best features are its performance during redo logging and the elasticity of the database handling."
"Oracle Exadata has very good hardware."
"Parallelism is the most valuable feature."
"Complete management occurs from one single address instead of different servers."
"It offers a significant advantage for accommodating a large number of users."
"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 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."
"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."
"We are able to integrate our Vertica data warehouse with Tableau to create numerous reports quickly and efficiently."
"The solution is quick, has good compression data, and is not expensive."
"Any novice user can tune vertical queries with minimal training (or no training at all)."
"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 most valuable feature of Vertica is the unmatchable database performance."
"There's room for improvement in terms of deployment, as it could be made faster and more user-friendly."
"I would like to see more database features and maybe more archiving features, because we need to do data archiving."
"The integration with third-party applications regarding access management security could be better."
"Patching must be simplified."
"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."
"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."
"Setting up Exadata is complex. You need an Oracle vendor or someone who is Oracle-certified to set it up."
"The solution could always be more stable and more reliable."
"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."
"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."
"The documentation of Vertica is an area with shortcomings where improvements are required."
"We faced some challenges when trying to use the temporary tables feature."
"I would personally like to see extended developer tooling suited to Vertica – think published PowerDesigner SQL dialect support."
"Support is an area where it could get better."
"They could improve the integration and some of the features in the cloud version."
"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."
