"Collecting the data through SSIS packages from different sources and putting them all in one data repository is the most powerful thing. While others have this feature, they don't have the simplicity or ease of use when getting a resource and knowing everything about it."
"The most valuable feature is Vertica's performance and the ease of using the database."
"The most valuable feature of Vertica is the unmatchable database performance."
"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."
"The feature of the product that is most important is the speed. I needed a columnar database, and its speed is what it's built to do, and so that's what really does differentiate Vertica from its competitors."
"The extensibility and efficiency provided by their C++ SDK."
"Vertica is a columnar database where the query performance is extremely fast and it can be used for real-time integrations for API and other applications. The solution requires zero maintenance which is helpful."
"The performance is very good and the aggregate records are fast."
"DBAs don’t need to add a partition every month/quarter like with other DBs."

"The solution is expensive and has room for improvement."
"The query is slow if we don't optimize it."
"More tools to help designers should be included."
"In my opinion, Vertica's documentation could be improved. Currently, there is not enough documentation available to gain a comprehensive understanding of the platform."
"I have found that coding support could be simplified."
"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."
"When it is about to reach the maximum storage capacity, it becomes slow."
"I would personally like to see extended developer tooling suited to Vertica – think published PowerDesigner SQL dialect support."
"Support is an area where it could get 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."
