We performed a comparison between MariaDB and Vertica based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Oracle, PostgreSQL, Firebird and others in Open Source Databases."Easy to use and available in most environments."
"MariaDB is easy to install and is stable and scalable."
"From the user's perspective, the performance of the columnar queries is very good in terms of the database when comparing it to the Oracle, and MySQL."
"The solution runs very quickly. It's not slow at all."
"One of the great features of MariaDB is its scalability. It's easy to handle even with large databases."
"The most valuable feature is that it uses multiple cores, which is better than some of the other databases."
"It is an absolutely stable solution."
"Great monitoring and performance stability."
"Speed and resiliency are probably the best parts of this product."
"Vertica is easy to use and provides really high performance, stability, and scalability."
"Vertica is a great product because customers can compress and code data. The infrastructure that data warehouse solutions need is a commodity server so that customers don't have to invest in infrastructure."
"Vertica is a columnar database, this support our developments in analytics, advanced analytics, and ETL process with large sets of data."
"The fast columnar store database structure allows our query times to be at least 10x faster than on any other database."
"The solution has great capabilities. The tool that instructs the internal database forward is easy to use and is very powerful."
"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."
"I like the projection feature, which increases query performance."
"The configuration could be improved. It should be easier."
"With respect to clustering and the master-slave configuration, sometimes the slave goes out of synch."
"I’m not sure if it can scale."
"There is not much support available."
"MariaDB doesn't handle long or complex SQL queries quite as well as Oracle Database."
"The maintenance and performance could be a bit better."
"MariaDB could be improved by adding more automation."
"The product needs more features and more functionality. It's imperative that it supports more platforms, and supports more operating systems."
"It needs integration with multiple clouds."
"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."
"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."
"I have found that coding support could be simplified."
"I believe the installation process could be streamlined."
"We faced some challenges when trying to use the temporary tables feature."
"It should provide a GUI interface for data management and tuning."
"Vertica's native cloud support could be improved, and its installation could be made easier."
