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."Exadata's best features are its performance during redo logging and the elasticity of the database handling."
"The business intelligence is very good."
"The most valuable feature is that you have the same familiar environment of an Oracle database but with the additional performance you get from this architecture."
"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."
"Oracle has reliable solutions and this one is no different."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Exadata is the storage available."
"The product is flexible."
"It offers a significant advantage for accommodating a large number of users."
"I enjoy the cybersecurity and backup features."
"Initiate on one node, and the RPM propagates automatically to all other nodes. "
"The product's initial setup phase is extremely simple."
"For me, It's performance, scalability, low cost, and it's integrated into enterprise and big data environments."
"I like the projection feature, which increases query performance."
"Vertica gives knowledgeable users and DBAs excellent tools for tuning."
"It maximizes cloud economics with Eon Mode by scaling cluster size to meet variable workload demands."
"The Vertica architecture means it can process/ingest data in parallel to reporting and analyzing because of its in-memory Write-Optimized Storage sitting alongside the analytics optimized Read-Optimized Storage."
"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."
"The initial setup process is very difficult and extremely complex."
"The solution lacks a visualized console."
"The cost of the solution is high and can be improved."
"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 integration with third-party applications regarding access management security could be better."
"The customization can sometimes be difficult to achieve."
"Oracle Exadata could improve by having faster data retrieval. We receive data at four or five seconds and want to reduce that number to one second."
"The integration of this solution with ODI could be improved."
"One feature, which has really benefited us, is the scalability offered by Vertica as it has enabled Pythian's clients to manage data with agility."
"Vertica's native cloud support could be improved, and its installation could be made easier."
"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."
"If you do not utilize the tuning tools like projections, encoding, partitions, and statistics, then performance and scalability will suffer."
"When it is about to reach the maximum storage capacity, it becomes slow."
"I believe the installation process could be streamlined."
"Monitoring tools need to be lightweight. They should not take up heavy resources of the main server."
