Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Self-patching and runs machine-learning across its logs all the time""I really like the auto-tuning, auto-scaling, and the automatic load balancing and query tuning in the system.""It is a stable and scalable solution.""It is an extremely scalable solution since you can dynamically change the resources as some other cloud solutions.""I loved the simplicity of loading the data and simply relying on the self-tuning capabilities of ADW.""The solution is self-securing. All data is encrypted and security updates and patches are applied automatically both periodically and off-cycle.""One advantage is that if you already have an Oracle Database, it easily integrates with that.""A very good integration feature that restricts access to unauthorized people."

More Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse Pros →

"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 most valuable feature of Vertica is the unmatchable database performance.""We are able to integrate our Vertica data warehouse with Tableau to create numerous reports quickly and efficiently.""Bulk loads, batch loads, and micro-batch loads have made it possible for our organization to process near real-time ingestions and faster analytics.""Any novice user can tune vertical queries with minimal training (or no training at all).""I don't need any special hardware. I can use commodity hardware, which is nice to have in a commercial solution.""Vertica's most outstanding features are the compression rates achieved and the speed of access of high volume data.""It maximize cloud economics for mission-critical big data analytical initiatives."

More Vertica Pros →

Cons
"It doesn't work well when you have unstructured data or you need online analytics. It is not as nice as Hadoop in these aspects.""The solution could be improved by allowing for migration tools from other cloud services, including migration from Amazon Redshift, RDS, and Aurora.""I would like to see Application Express and Oracle R Enterprise fully supported, and I would like to see Oracle Data Mining supported as a front end.""Ease of connectivity could be improved.""The solution lacks visibility options.""The installation process is complex. Oracle can make the installation process better.""A lot of the tools that were previously there have now been taken away.""I would like to see an on-premise solution in the future."

More Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse Cons →

"Documentation has become much better, but can always use some 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.""Vertica's native cloud support could be improved, and its installation could be made easier.""The documentation of Vertica is an area with shortcomings where improvements are required.""The biggest problem is the cost of cloud deployment.""We faced some challenges when trying to use the temporary tables feature.""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.""In a future release, we would like to have artificial intelligence capabilities like neural networks. Customers are demanding this type of analytics."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The cost is perfect with Oracle Universal credit."
  • "ROI is high."
  • "You pay as you go, and you don't pay for services that you don't use."
  • "Cloud solutions are cheaper, but in the long run, they may not be much cheaper. They certainly have a lower initial cost. The licensing is yearly, and it is based on the size of the hardware and the number of users."
  • "The solution's cost is reasonable."
  • "On a scale from one to ten, where one is a low price and ten is a high price, I rate the pricing an eight."
  • "The licensing cost of the product can vary since you can integrate it very easily with other products or other cloud products...You pay as you use it, so it is not yearly or monthly payments to be made toward Oracle."
  • "The price depends on the configuration we choose."

    • More Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Work with a vendor, if possible, and take advantage of more aggressive discounts at mid-fiscal year (April) and fiscal year-end (October).​"
  • "It's free up to three nodes and 1TB, and then get in contact with their sales guys."
  • "Start with license per 1TB. Starting from hundreds of TB there is unlimited licensing to be considered. Move historical data to HDFS/S3 which are significantly cheaper or even free."
  • "The first TB is free and you can use all the Vertica features. After 1TB you have to pay for licensing. The product is worth it, but be aware of this condition, and plan. The compression ratio is explained in the documentation."
  • "I think it's starting to get a little expensive. Open source products are starting to get more robust, so I think that's something that they need to start looking at in terms of licensing."
  • "Read the fine print carefully."
  • "It is fast to purchase through the AWS Marketplace."
  • "The pricing and licensing depend on the size of your environment and the zone where you want to implement."

    Overview

    Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse is the world’s first and only autonomous database optimized for analytic workloads, including data marts, data warehouses, data lakes, and data lakehouses. With Autonomous Data Warehouse, data scientists, business analysts, and nonexperts can rapidly, easily, and cost-effectively discover business insights using data of any size and type. Built for the cloud and optimized using Oracle Exadata, Autonomous Data Warehouse benefits from faster performance and, according to an IDC report (PDF), lowers operational costs by an average of 63%.


    Autonomous Database provides the foundation for a data lakehouse—a modern, open architecture that enables you to store, analyze, and understand all your data. The data lakehouse combines the power and richness of data warehouses with the breadth, flexibility, and low cost of popular open source data lake technologies. Access your data lakehouse through Autonomous Database using the world's most powerful and open SQL processing engine.

    Vertica is a deploy-anywhere SQL database created for elasticity, speed, and advanced analytics. Vertica enables today’s busy teams to modernize their data warehouses, democratize data and analytics to enable increased access, and deploy analytics in a hybrid cloud environment. Additionally, Vertica merges how companies power their analytics by providing a scalable, open, and elastic database with numerous intuitive features.

    In today’s marketplace, organizations are experiencing continued robust growth of data volumes, and citizen data scientists’ broader use of analytics is causing many companies to re-visit and re-examine their systems in order to match the demands of an aggressive marketplace. Analytics are continually swiftly evolving. New data from social media, blogs, IoT sources, data streams, gas and electrical grids, and mobile networks is being constantly gathered in extensive data sets. This presents organizations with a new opportunity to become more data driven, and they must be able to manage the new data growth and identify the trends and sequences that can lead to both improved business opportunities and continued repeat business from their clients.
