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 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."
"We have complete control over our data."
"Tools like the BI and SAS are excellent."
"We can store the data in a data lake for a very low cost."
"The most valuable features are the performance and usability."
"It is not a pricey product compared to other data warehouse solutions."
"I am very satisfied with the customer service/technical support."
"The extensibility and efficiency provided by their C++ SDK."
"Any novice user can tune vertical queries with minimal training (or no training at all)."
"Eighty percent of the ETL operations have improved since implementing this solution."
"The product's initial setup phase is extremely simple."
"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."
"I enjoy the cybersecurity and backup features."
"I don't need any special hardware. I can use commodity hardware, which is nice to have in a commercial solution."
"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."
"We'd like to see it be a bit more compatible with other solutions."
"The product does not have all of the features that the native products have."
"The only issue with the product is that the process is very slow when we have a huge amount of data."
"The reporting for certain types of data needs to be improved."
"SQL installation is pretty tricky. The scalability and customer support also should be improved."
"The solution is expensive and has room for improvement."
"Vertica's native cloud support could be improved, and its installation could be made easier."
"Documentation has become much better, but can always use some improvement."
"In my opinion, Vertica's documentation could be improved. Currently, there is not enough documentation available to gain a comprehensive understanding of the platform."
"Very bad support, I would rate it two out of 10."
"It would be great if this were a managed service in AWS."
"Vertica can improve automation and documentation. Additionally, the solution can be simplified."
"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."
"Vertica seems to scale well, except for one use case where you are on a multi-node cluster. For example, if you had a nine-node cluster, one node goes down, then the eight nodes don't scale, because the absence of the node is very apparent, which is a problem. If you have nine nodes or multiple nodes, the whole idea is that if one of those nodes goes down, then you should not see an impact on the system if you have enough capacity. Even though we have enough capacity, you can still see the impact of the one node going down."
