We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Vertica gives knowledgeable users and DBAs excellent tools for tuning.""The most valuable feature is Vertica's performance and the ease of using the database.""The hardware usage and speed has been the most valuable feature of this solution. It is very fast and has saved us a lot of money.""The Vertica architecture means it can process/ingest data in parallel to reporting and analyzing because of its in-memory Write-Optimized Storage sitting alongside the analytics optimized Read-Optimized Storage.""The fast columnar store database structure allows our query times to be at least 10x faster than on any other database.""It has improved my organization's functionality and performance.""Eighty percent of the ETL operations have improved since implementing this 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."

"The message routing is the most valuable feature. It is effective and flexible.""Companies can scale the solution, so long as they have server room.""I like the high throughput of 20K messages/sec, and that it supports multiple protocols.""It's super easy to deploy and it also supports different languages and analytics.""The most valuable feature is that it's really customizable.""It is easy to use. The addition of more queues and more services can be managed very easily.""After creating a RabbitMQ service, they provide you with a sort of web management dashboard.""The stability of this solution was very good."

Cons
"The integration of this solution with ODI could be improved.""I have found that coding support could be simplified.""It's hard to make it slow for a small data volume. For large volumes, it's hard to make it work. It's also hard to make it faster, and to make it scale.""We faced some challenges when trying to use the temporary tables feature.""Support is an area where it could get better.""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.""The geospatial functionality could be designed better.""The documentation of Vertica is an area with shortcomings where improvements are required."

More Vertica Cons →

"If you're outside IP address range, the clustering no longer has all the features which is problematic.""We needed to configure additional plugins. While it was relatively easy to do this on-premises, it became more challenging in the cloud.""They should improve on the ability to scale your queues in a very simple and elegant way with the same power that they have would be great.""The fact that a single queue can't be distributed across multiple instances/nodes is a major disadvantage.""There are some security concerns that have been raised with this product.""The debugging capabilities and testing flexibilities need to be improved.""Tanzu Greenplum's compression for GPText could be made more efficient.""they need to interact more with customers. They need to explain the features, especially when there are new releases of Greenplum. I know just from information I've found that it has other features, it can be used to for analytics, for integration with Big Data, Hadoop. They need to focus on this part with the customer."

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."
  • More Vertica Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The pricing is okay."
  • "It is the best product with best fit for price/performance customer objectives."
  • "Pricing is good compared to other products. It's fine."
  • "This is an open source solution."
  • "We are using the open-source version of this solution."
  • "are using the open-source version, which can be used free of cost."
  • "The pricing for RabbitMQ is reasonable. It is worth the cost."
  • "On a scale of one to five, with five being the most competitive pricing, I would rate this solution as a four."
