We performed a comparison between Oracle Exadata 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."Exadata is a fantastic machine. Two features stand out. The first is the resource input/output management tool that allows you to manage the resources to the neck on the Exadata box."
"The most valuable feature is that you have the same familiar environment of an Oracle database but with the additional performance you get from this architecture."
"On-premises Exadata is just as stable as the cloud version. It's a very stable platform."
"It has improved the performance, now we run with more performance cores with less CPU to attend all the database demands. Reducing Time to Market, increase our ability to face the competition with speed and low cost."
"The storage capacity and the performance of Oracle Exadata are good. When comparing the performance to other technologies it is very good. I am satisfied with the management of the solution."
"A very stable solution, which we have hardly any problems with."
"Oracle Exadata has very good hardware."
"The most valuable feature is the time to solution."
"Vertica has a few features that I like. From an architecture standpoint, they have separated compute and storage. So you have low-cost object storage for primary storage and the ability to have several sub-clusters working off the same ObjectStore. So it provides workload isolation."
"We are able to integrate our Vertica data warehouse with Tableau to create numerous reports quickly and efficiently."
"Vertica is a columnar database, this support our developments in analytics, advanced analytics, and ETL process with large sets of data."
"The most valuable feature of Vertica is the unmatchable database performance."
"We are also opening new areas of business and potential new revenue streams using Vertica's analytic functions, most notably geospatial, where we are able to run billions of comparisons of lat/long point locations against polygon and point/radius locations in seconds. "
"Partition and join back to node are easy and simple for DBAs."
"The solution is quick, has good compression data, and is not expensive."
"The performance is very good and the aggregate records are fast."
"The cost of the solution is high and can be improved."
"It would be nice to have a single click button to, say, migrate my VMware VM into the Oracle VM, or vice-versa."
"Since the product is an appliance, it is very costly."
"We have experienced some issues with processing unstructured data on Exadata. This is an important requirement for our AIML based use case. Reactive analytics data can not be prepared easily in Oracle Exadata."
"Patching must be simplified."
"Setting up Exadata is complex. You need an Oracle vendor or someone who is Oracle-certified to set it up."
"The customization can sometimes be difficult to achieve."
"There is a feature for security, but it is not included in the first purchase of this solution. That means if you need to increase the security, you need to buy the security feature which doesn't come by default on these solutions."
"I believe the installation process could be streamlined."
"I have found that coding support could be simplified."
"Documentation has become much better, but can always use some improvement."
"I would personally like to see extended developer tooling suited to Vertica – think published PowerDesigner SQL dialect support."
"Limitations in group by projections is where I would like to see an improvement."
"We faced some challenges when trying to use the temporary tables feature."
"It should provide a GUI interface for data management and tuning."
"It needs integration with multiple clouds."
