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."Complete management occurs from one single address instead of different servers."
"Exadata's best features are its performance during redo logging and the elasticity of the database handling."
"It offers a significant advantage for accommodating a large number of users."
"Oracle has reliable solutions and this one is no different."
"Oracle Exadata is stable."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Exadata is its capabilities for storing and processing data. It is very good for our domain."
"It is a scalable solution."
"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 maximizes cloud economics with Eon Mode by scaling cluster size to meet variable workload demands."
"The most valuable feature of Vertica is the unmatchable database performance."
"The performance is very good and the aggregate records are fast."
"I don't need any special hardware. I can use commodity hardware, which is nice to have in a commercial solution."
"The most valuable feature of Vertica is the ability to receive large aggregations at a very quick pace. The use case of subclusters is very good."
"Eighty percent of the ETL operations have improved since implementing this solution."
"Speed and resiliency are probably the best parts of this product."
"Vertica is easy to use and provides really high performance, stability, and scalability."
"I would like to see more database features and maybe more archiving features, because we need to do data archiving."
"Setting up Exadata is complex. You need an Oracle vendor or someone who is Oracle-certified to set it up."
"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 solution lacks a visualized console."
"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."
"Checking the Smart Scan issues is complicated."
"The solution takes a lot of time to clone the environment. I would like to see some improvement in the cloning support or the time it takes on the storage side."
"It is difficult to evaluate return-on-investment because of the way billing is handled for the product. This should be improved by oracle."
"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."
"The geospatial functionality could be designed better."
"It needs integration with multiple clouds."
"If you do not utilize the tuning tools like projections, encoding, partitions, and statistics, then performance and scalability will suffer."
"I believe the installation process could be streamlined."
"In my opinion, Vertica's documentation could be improved. Currently, there is not enough documentation available to gain a comprehensive understanding of the platform."
"Vertica's native cloud support could be improved, and its installation could be made easier."
"Vertica can improve automation and documentation. Additionally, the solution can be simplified."
