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."It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"It has allowed fast daily loads and analysis of millions of rows of data, which eventually moved to near real-time."
"Microsoft Parallel Data Warehouse integrates beautifully with other Microsoft ecosystem products."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is performance."
"One of the most important features is the ease of using MS SQL."
"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 features are the performance and usability."
"It is a very stable database."
"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."
"Allows us to take volumes and process them at a very high speed."
"I appreciate the flexibility offered by Vertica's projections. It allows for modifying the primary projection without altering the tables, which helps to optimize queries without the need to modify the underlying data."
"We are able to integrate our Vertica data warehouse with Tableau to create numerous reports quickly and efficiently."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is Vertica's performance and the ease of using the database."
"Vertica's most outstanding features are the compression rates achieved and the speed of access of high volume data."
"The solution is quick, has good compression data, and is not expensive."
"Some compatibility issues occur during deployment, so we need to build the product from scratch for some features."
"If the database is large with a lot of columns then it is difficult to clean the data."
"I think that the error messages need to be made more specific."
"We find the cost of the solution to be a little high."
"The feature updates on the on-premise solution come very slowly, and it would be great if they came faster."
"I would like the tool to support different operating systems."
"The product does not have all of the features that the native products have."
"Sometimes, the product requires rolling back to its previous version during a software update. This particular area could be enhanced."
"It should provide a GUI interface for data management and tuning."
"Documentation has become much better, but can always use some improvement."
"The integration with AI has room for improvement."
"Limitations in group by projections is where I would like to see an improvement."
"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."
"Performance of management of metadata layer (database catalog) needs improvement. We still have to have smaller customers on PostgreSQL; Vertica cannot manage thousands of schemata."
"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."
"They could improve on customer service."
