"The extensibility and efficiency provided by their C++ SDK."
"The most valuable feature of Vertica is the unmatchable database performance."

"We find the cost of the solution to be a little high."
"The product does not have all of the features that the native products have."

"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."
"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."
"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."
"I would personally like to see extended developer tooling suited to Vertica – think published PowerDesigner SQL dialect support."
"The integration of this solution with ODI could be improved."
"In a future release, we would like to have artificial intelligence capabilities like neural networks. Customers are demanding this type of analytics."
"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."
