"Microsoft Parallel Data Warehouse integrates beautifully with other Microsoft ecosystem products."
"I am very satisfied with the customer service/technical support."
"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."
"It is not a pricey product compared to other data warehouse solutions."
"The most valuable feature is the business intelligence (BI) part of it."
"One of the most important features is the ease of using MS SQL."
"The solution's integration is good."
"It has improved my organization's functionality and performance."
"Vertica is a great product because customers can compress and code data. The infrastructure that data warehouse solutions need is a commodity server so that customers don't have to invest in infrastructure."
"The performance is very good and the aggregate records are fast."
"The solution is quick, has good compression data, and is not expensive."
"I enjoy the cybersecurity and backup features."
"We are able to integrate our Vertica data warehouse with Tableau to create numerous reports quickly and efficiently."
"It maximize cloud economics for mission-critical big data analytical initiatives."
"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."
"I think that the error messages need to be made more specific."
"In the future I would love to see a slightly better automation engine, just for the data integration layer, to make it slightly easier for end-users or junior developers to get involved in incremental updating."
"If the database is large with a lot of columns then it is difficult to clean the data."
"The solution is expensive and has room for improvement."
"The product must provide more frequent updates."
"Some compatibility issues occur during deployment, so we need to build the product from scratch for some features."
"The product does not have all of the features that the native products have."
"The query is slow if we don't optimize it."
"It should provide a GUI interface for data management and tuning."
"I would personally like to see extended developer tooling suited to Vertica – think published PowerDesigner SQL dialect support."
"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."
"Vertica can improve automation and documentation. Additionally, the solution can be simplified."
"They could improve the integration and some of the features in the cloud version."
"Documentation has become much better, but can always use some improvement."
"I think they need an easy client so that you can write queries easily, but it's not necessarily a weak point. I think some users would need them."
"The biggest problem is the cost of cloud deployment."
