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."Complete management occurs from one single address instead of different servers."
"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 has reliable solutions and this one is no different."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Exadata is the integration with other solutions, such as SAN storage and shared VLAN network."
"It is the best solution for OLTP and data warehousing."
"Oracle Exadata is stable."
"The most valuable feature is storage offloading."
"It has improved my organization's functionality and performance."
"Its projections and encoding are excellent tools for tuning large volumes."
"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."
"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."
"I appreciate the flexibility offered by Vertica's projections. It allows for modifying the primary projection without altering the tables, which helps to optimize queries without the need to modify the underlying data."
"It maximize cloud economics for mission-critical big data analytical initiatives."
"We are able to integrate our Vertica data warehouse with Tableau to create numerous reports quickly and efficiently."
"Vertica's most outstanding features are the compression rates achieved and the speed of access of high volume data."
"Oracle Exadata could improve the platform performance tuning should be easier, automated, and user-friendly."
"Oracle Exadata compatibility with the analytics could be better and the OBIEE could improve. Oracle BI to Exadata needs to be improved. Even if the full analytics practice for Oracle should be improved and when compared with other solutions it is weak."
"The cost of the solution is high and can be improved."
"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."
"We have experienced some issues with processing unstructured data on Exadata. This is an important requirement for our AIML based use case. Reactive analytics data can not be prepared easily in Oracle Exadata."
"A room for improvement in Oracle Exadata is that it's not very easy to use in a microservices environment. It's not easy to split databases, and if this was easier to do in Oracle Exadata, it would make the solution better. What I'd like to see in the next release of Oracle Exadata is for it to become more modular, so you can use it in a context where the data layer is spread between many independent services."
"Sometimes it takes too long time to get help with technical issues."
"We had issues with system restoration."
"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."
"The integration of this solution with ODI could be improved."
"It needs integration with multiple clouds."
"The integration with AI has room for improvement."
"Vertica's native cloud support could be improved, and its installation could be made easier."
"Fact-to-fact joins on multi-billion record tables perform poorly."
"We faced some challenges when trying to use the temporary tables feature."
