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 storage capacity and the performance of Oracle Exadata are good. When comparing the performance to other technologies it is very good. I am satisfied with the management of the solution."
"Exadata's best features are its performance during redo logging and the elasticity of the database handling."
"They just have a lot of products, and they work well together."
"The business intelligence is very good."
"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."
"On-premises Exadata is just as stable as the cloud version. It's a very stable platform."
"The performance of the data is the most important part."
"It has improved my organization's functionality and performance."
"Initiate on one node, and the RPM propagates automatically to all other nodes. "
"We are able to integrate our Vertica data warehouse with Tableau to create numerous reports quickly and efficiently."
"Partition and join back to node are easy and simple for DBAs."
"The most valuable feature is Vertica's performance and the ease of using the database."
"I have found the solution to be scalable."
"The fast columnar store database structure allows our query times to be at least 10x faster than on any other database."
"I enjoy the cybersecurity and backup features."
"The cost of the solution is high and can be improved."
"The setup is a little bit complex. We would like to see the installation part get easier."
"We used the support from Oracle Exadata to complete the implementation."
"The solution lacks a visualized console."
"The improvement could be made on the hardware level as the habit in the industry is to go better and faster and larger with every iteration."
"There is room for improvement with the handling of the Temp IO, which is often used for JOIN statements."
"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."
"Since the product is an appliance, it is very costly."
"It needs integration with multiple clouds."
"The integration with AI has room for improvement."
"Whatever's out, the core is not always as great as the engine, especially their first version."
"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."
"I have found that coding support could be simplified."
"Vertica seems to scale well, except for one use case where you are on a multi-node cluster. For example, if you had a nine-node cluster, one node goes down, then the eight nodes don't scale, because the absence of the node is very apparent, which is a problem. If you have nine nodes or multiple nodes, the whole idea is that if one of those nodes goes down, then you should not see an impact on the system if you have enough capacity. Even though we have enough capacity, you can still see the impact of the one node going down."
"Limitations in group by projections is where I would like to see an improvement."
"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."
