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 the integration with other solutions, such as SAN storage and shared VLAN network."
"The technical support team are real professionals. I admire their technical skills and supports. Their supports are really admirable."
"They just have a lot of products, and they work well together."
"The new Exadata x9m has an even higher speed of 100GBps connectivity."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Exadata is its capabilities for storing and processing data. It is very good for our domain."
"Complete management occurs from one single address instead of different servers."
"What I like best about Oracle Exadata is its good performance. It's also a very fast solution."
"We have used this solution for a long period of time so it has become easy for us to query any kind of data from Oracle Exadata which has been valuable."
"Initiate on one node, and the RPM propagates automatically to all other nodes. "
"I have found the solution to be scalable."
"I like the projection feature, which increases query performance."
"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."
"Any novice user can tune vertical queries with minimal training (or no training at all)."
"The extensibility and efficiency provided by their C++ SDK."
"I enjoy the cybersecurity and backup features."
"Its analytics has enabled Pythian's clients to get the business insights as quick as they wanted. Its lower maintenance has also improved the ROI."
"The scalability can be improved as it is not a parallel execution."
"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."
"Since the product is an appliance, it is very costly."
"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."
"The solution takes a lot of time to clone the environment. I would like to see some improvement in the cloning support or the time it takes on the storage side."
"The handling of temp space has room for improvement."
"Patching must be simplified."
"Metadata for database files scale okay, but metadata related to tables/columns/sequences must be stored on all nodes."
"Very bad support, I would rate it two out of 10."
"The geospatial functionality could be designed better."
"It should provide a GUI interface for data management and tuning."
"I would personally like to see extended developer tooling suited to Vertica – think published PowerDesigner SQL dialect support."
"In my opinion, Vertica's documentation could be improved. Currently, there is not enough documentation available to gain a comprehensive understanding of the platform."
"I have found that coding support could be simplified."
"Whatever's out, the core is not always as great as the engine, especially their first version."
