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."Oracle Exadata is stable."
"It has improved the performance, now we run with more performance cores with less CPU to attend all the database demands. Reducing Time to Market, increase our ability to face the competition with speed and low cost."
"It offers a significant advantage for accommodating a large number of users."
"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 is a fantastic machine. Two features stand out. The first is the resource input/output management tool that allows you to manage the resources to the neck on the Exadata box."
"What I like best about Oracle Exadata is its good performance. It's also a very fast solution."
"Complete management occurs from one single address instead of different servers."
"Backup/Restore performance: Fast backups, fast restores (especially useful for creating clone environments)."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is Vertica's performance and the ease of using the database."
"I have found the solution to be scalable."
"Vertica gives knowledgeable users and DBAs excellent tools for tuning."
"The solution is quick, has good compression data, and is not expensive."
"Allows us to take volumes and process them at a very high speed."
"Vertica's most outstanding features are the compression rates achieved and the speed of access of high volume data."
"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."
"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."
"The initial setup process is very difficult and extremely complex."
"The solution lacks a visualized console."
"The customization can sometimes be difficult to achieve."
"Since the product is an appliance, it is very costly."
"There is one aspect to Exadata that I dislike, and that's the inconsistency with other databases. When you try to get Exadata to function with another type of database like SQL, or others, there should be reliable and consistent operation. When this is improved on, we should start to see more applications growing the market."
"It is difficult to evaluate return-on-investment because of the way billing is handled for the product. This should be improved by oracle."
"The setup is a little bit complex. We would like to see the installation part get easier."
"The geospatial functionality could be designed better."
"Promotion/marketing must be improved, even though it is a very useful product at very good price, it is not as "popular" as it should be."
"If you do not utilize the tuning tools like projections, encoding, partitions, and statistics, then performance and scalability will suffer."
"It should provide a GUI interface for data management and tuning."
"It needs integration with multiple clouds."
"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."
"There are a lot of limitations within this product and it makes things extremely hard for developers. It lacks Stored Procedure, packages, and triggers like other RDBMs."
"Suboptimal projection design causes queries to not scale linearly."
