We performed a comparison between Microsoft Parallel Data Warehouse 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."The data transmissions between the data models is the most valuable feature."
"The UI is very simple and functional for my clients, most of the clients that use the solution are not experts."
"The most valuable feature for me is querying."
"It handles high volumes of data very well."
"It is not a pricey product compared to other data warehouse solutions."
"It performs very well overall."
"The solution's integration is good."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"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."
"The fast columnar store database structure allows our query times to be at least 10x faster than on any other database."
"The feature I like best is performance. We use Red Tool and Red Job for the data warehouse and reporting. It's perfect. Performance is good, and it can return ad hoc queries very quickly. Of course, it's a cluster, so it's easy to scale."
"DBAs don’t need to add a partition every month/quarter like with other DBs."
"Speed and resiliency are probably the best parts of this product."
"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."
"It has improved my organization's functionality and performance."
"I would like the tool to support different operating systems."
"I would like the ability to do more real-time type updates instead of batch-oriented updates."
"The product does not have all of the features that the native products have."
"It could offer more development across the solution."
"Some compatibility issues occur during deployment, so we need to build the product from scratch for some features."
"We find the cost of the solution to be a little high."
"SQL installation is pretty tricky. The scalability and customer support also should be improved."
"It could be made more user-friendly for business users which would increase the user base."
"Vertica offers a platform-as-a-service version, but their software-as-a-service solution is only available on AWS. They need to get a SaaS version on Azure and GCP as fast as possible."
"When it is about to reach the maximum storage capacity, it becomes slow."
"I have found that coding support could be simplified."
"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."
"In my opinion, Vertica's documentation could be improved. Currently, there is not enough documentation available to gain a comprehensive understanding of the platform."
"We are looking for a cheaper deployment for the solution. Although we did a lot of benchmarks, like Redshift. We tried Redshift, it didn't work. It didn't work out for us as well."
"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."
