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."They just have a lot of products, and they work well together."
"A very stable solution, which we have hardly any problems with."
"Oracle Exadata has very good hardware."
"It offers a significant advantage for accommodating a large number of users."
"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."
"We can use virtualization on Exadata."
"The offloading of data to the SIM is a valuable feature."
"Regarding features, there are so many that we can offer to customers. When we sell Exadata Cloud, there are many options to choose from, especially when it comes to enterprise database options. In my experience, the main features that are appreciated are various ones like GPS and the assortment of security options."
"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."
"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."
"Its projections and encoding are excellent tools for tuning large volumes."
"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."
"It maximizes cloud economics with Eon Mode by scaling cluster size to meet variable workload demands."
"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."
"I like the projection feature, which increases query performance."
"The solution lacks a visualized console."
"The solution could always be more stable and more reliable."
"The management monitoring tools are quite important and an area that needs some improvement."
"The solution's pricing is very high."
"The handling of temp space has room for improvement."
"Patching must be simplified."
"There's room for improvement in terms of deployment, as it could be made faster and more user-friendly."
"I liked Spark, but it was discontinued when Exadata L6 came back. I loved it, and I wish they would bring back Spark integration."
"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."
"Limitations in group by projections is where I would like to see an improvement."
"When it is about to reach the maximum storage capacity, it becomes slow."
"They could improve the integration and some of the features in the cloud version."
"In a future release, we would like to have artificial intelligence capabilities like neural networks. Customers are demanding this type of analytics."
"We faced some challenges when trying to use the temporary tables feature."
"Suboptimal projection design causes queries to not scale linearly."
