We performed a comparison between Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop and Vertica based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two NoSQL Databases solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The product provides better data processing features than other tools."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the enterprise data platform."
"The search function is the most valuable aspect of the solution."
"It has the best proxy, security, and support features compared to open-source products."
"The most valuable feature is that I can use CDH for almost all use cases across all industries, including the financial sector, public sector, private retailers, and so on."
"The data science aspect of the solution is valuable."
"The most valuable feature is Impala, the querying engine, which is very fast."
"The features I find most valuable is that the solution is that it is easy to install and to work with. It starts with the installation and from there on the management is very simple and centralized."
"The most valuable feature of Vertica is the unmatchable database performance."
"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."
"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 extensibility and efficiency provided by their C++ SDK."
"It has improved my organization's functionality and performance."
"Vertica is easy to use and provides really high performance, stability, and scalability."
"I enjoy the cybersecurity and backup features."
"There are better solutions out there that have more features than this one."
"We experienced many issues when we started working with Hadoop 3.0 in the Cloudera 6.0 version, so there is a lot of things that need to improve."
"Currently, we are using many other tools such as Spark and Blade Job to improve the performance."
"This is a very expensive solution."
"The security of this solution could be improved. There should also be a way to basically have a blockchain enabled storage with the HDFS."
"The solution is not fit for on-premise distributions."
"The pricing needs to improve."
"The initial setup of Cloudera is difficult."
"Limitations in group by projections is where I would like to see an improvement."
"In a future release, we would like to have artificial intelligence capabilities like neural networks. Customers are demanding this type of analytics."
"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."
"We faced some challenges when trying to use the temporary tables feature."
"Whatever's out, the core is not always as great as the engine, especially their first version."
"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."
"If you do not utilize the tuning tools like projections, encoding, partitions, and statistics, then performance and scalability will suffer."
"Monitoring tools need to be lightweight. They should not take up heavy resources of the main server."
