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 performance on the databases is good."
"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 offloading of data to the SIM is a valuable feature."
"Oracle Exadata is stable."
"The technical support team are real professionals. I admire their technical skills and supports. Their supports are really admirable."
"Exadata is also a very stable environment. Their Smart Scan feature is great for every banking environment and financial institutions willing to implement it."
"Exadata with the In-Memory option is several levels about SAP HANA."
"The tool's performance is good."
"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."
"Vertica's most outstanding features are the compression rates achieved and the speed of access of high volume data."
"It maximizes cloud economics with Eon Mode by scaling cluster size to meet variable workload demands."
"I don't need any special hardware. I can use commodity hardware, which is nice to have in a commercial solution."
"The performance is very good and the aggregate records are fast."
"Vertica has a few features that I like. From an architecture standpoint, they have separated compute and storage. So you have low-cost object storage for primary storage and the ability to have several sub-clusters working off the same ObjectStore. So it provides workload isolation."
"Any novice user can tune vertical queries with minimal training (or no training at all)."
"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."
"We used the support from Oracle Exadata to complete the implementation."
"Certification should also be improved. Today, Oracle doesn't certify applications with engineered systems."
"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."
"In a future release, I would like to see some upgrade analysis advisors to help with a clear roadmap on steps that need to be taken and some of the automated processes."
"There is room for improvement with the handling of the Temp IO, which is often used for JOIN statements."
"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."
"We had issues with system restoration."
"Oracle Exadata could improve the platform performance tuning should be easier, automated, and user-friendly."
"It's hard to make it slow for a small data volume. For large volumes, it's hard to make it work. It's also hard to make it faster, and to make it scale."
"Very bad support, I would rate it two out of 10."
"Metadata for database files scale okay, but metadata related to tables/columns/sequences must be stored on all nodes."
"The biggest problem is the cost of cloud deployment."
"The documentation of Vertica is an area with shortcomings where improvements are required."
"The geospatial functionality could be designed better."
"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."
"We faced some challenges when trying to use the temporary tables feature."
