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."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 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."
"The most valuable feature is that you have the same familiar environment of an Oracle database but with the additional performance you get from this architecture."
"What I like most about Oracle Exadata is its smart scan feature. I also like that it supports higher capacities and it's high-performing, so my company can use Oracle Exadata for massive databases."
"The performance on the databases is good."
"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."
"Oracle Exadata is stable."
"Vertica gives knowledgeable users and DBAs excellent tools for tuning."
"We are able to integrate our Vertica data warehouse with Tableau to create numerous reports quickly and efficiently."
"The hardware usage and speed has been the most valuable feature of this solution. It is very fast and has saved us a lot of money."
"It's the fastest database I have ever tested. That's the most important feature of Vertica."
"The most valuable feature is Vertica's performance and the ease of using the database."
"Partition and join back to node are easy and simple for DBAs."
"It has improved my organization's functionality and performance."
"The solution is quick, has good compression data, and is not expensive."
"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 could improve by having faster data retrieval. We receive data at four or five seconds and want to reduce that number to one second."
"We used the support from Oracle Exadata to complete the implementation."
"Checking the Smart Scan issues is complicated."
"I would like to see more database features and maybe more archiving features, because we need to do data archiving."
"There is a feature for security, but it is not included in the first purchase of this solution. That means if you need to increase the security, you need to buy the security feature which doesn't come by default on these solutions."
"The scalability can be improved as it is not a parallel execution."
"The management monitoring tools are quite important and an area that needs some improvement."
"The biggest problem is the cost of cloud deployment."
"I would personally like to see extended developer tooling suited to Vertica – think published PowerDesigner SQL dialect support."
"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."
"Suboptimal projection design causes queries to not scale linearly."
"Some of our small to medium-sized customers would like to see containerization and flexibility from the deployment standpoint."
"They could improve the integration and some of the features in the cloud version."
"When it is about to reach the maximum storage capacity, it becomes slow."
"Fact-to-fact joins on multi-billion record tables perform poorly."
