We performed a comparison between Oracle Database and Vertica based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Oracle, SAP and others in Relational Databases Tools."The interface of Oracle Database is very workable and easy to use."
"The database capability and the security side of the database are the real valuable features. The cloud SaaS model is also valuable."
"The solution in my experience has been stable."
"The product's initial setup phase was very easy."
"Oracle Database is a stable solution."
"I have found the most valuable feature to be the performance. We have a large database in my company and there is not likely a solution that has the performance we need."
"It provided better insight and diagnostics when data problems were encountered by the application."
"It's very reliable."
"I have found the solution to be scalable."
"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."
"It maximize cloud economics for mission-critical big data analytical initiatives."
"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."
"It has improved my organization's functionality and performance."
"I like the projection feature, which increases query performance."
"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."
"The queries performance could improve compared to other products."
"If you just install a database, it's easy but if you install some other programs it can be a little bit longer and difficult to install."
"With the new version, we never came across any important limitations. There was nothing that needed improvement. However, in versions 9 and 10, we sometimes had problems, and big and complicated queries did not get through. In versions 11 and 12, I did not experience any problem. There could be some more information about load balancing and all these things. For me, it was just a part of the infrastructure maintained by other people. So, I cannot really say what they need."
"There are plenty of options and features in this solution, but they are, somehow, not being used very well. Therefore, training and support should be increased and improved for this solution. They can make people aware of how to make proper use of their server so that people can optimize it because its cost is just too much. They can provide training on the policies and procedures to be used for archiving and all such things. There should be some kind of segregation in licensing. With a full license, all options should be available. There should also be a basic license with limited functionalities. This kind of basic license would be useful for us because we don't use most of the functionalities."
"Since the solution is from Oracle it tends to be complex when trying to integrate with other solutions."
"Support is not available when one encounters problems."
"The usage and security are okay for Oracle Database, but its pricing is more expensive when compared to its competitors."
"It takes a significant amount of time after submitting an initial SR with Oracle Tech Support before your case reaches a technical expert with whom you can actually work on the issue resolution. Before that, you have to deal with people who are not experts."
"They could improve on customer service."
"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."
"The documentation of Vertica is an area with shortcomings where improvements are required."
"If you do not utilize the tuning tools like projections, encoding, partitions, and statistics, then performance and scalability will suffer."
"The geospatial functionality could be designed better."
"Some of our small to medium-sized customers would like to see containerization and flexibility from the deployment standpoint."
"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."
"Monitoring tools need to be lightweight. They should not take up heavy resources of the main server."
