"The documentation of Vertica is an area with shortcomings where improvements are required."
"When it is about to reach the maximum storage capacity, it becomes slow."
"Performance of management of metadata layer (database catalog) needs improvement. We still have to have smaller customers on PostgreSQL; Vertica cannot manage thousands of schemata."
"Whatever's out, the core is not always as great as the engine, especially their first version."
