Cons

"Improvements need to be made on the load balancing side.""The solution's setup could be quicker and easier."

More TIBCO Live Datamart Cons →

"If you do not utilize the tuning tools like projections, encoding, partitions, and statistics, then performance and scalability will suffer.""Metadata for database files scale okay, but metadata related to tables/columns/sequences must be stored on all nodes.""Some of our small to medium-sized customers would like to see containerization and flexibility from the deployment standpoint.""Support is an area where it could get better.""Whatever's out, the core is not always as great as the engine, especially their first version.""In a future release, we would like to have artificial intelligence capabilities like neural networks. Customers are demanding this type of analytics.""The biggest problem is the cost of cloud deployment.""I think they need an easy client so that you can write queries easily, but it's not necessarily a weak point. I think some users would need them."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "I think the program is well-priced compared to the other offerings that are out in the market."
  • "Microsoft has an agreement with the government in our country, so our customers get their licensing costs from the Ministry. Whenever we work with any government, company, or government institute, which is mainly what we are doing, that license comes directly from the Ministry of Technology and Information."
  • "All the features that we use do not require any additional subscription or yearly fees."
  • "Technical support is an additional fee and is expensive."
  • "The solution's pricing is fairly decent for organizations with huge data sizes."
  • "The tool could be expensive if we need to manage a lot of data."
  • "They offer an annual subscription. The pricing depends on the size of the environments."
  • More Microsoft Parallel Data Warehouse Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The solution might be considered a bit expensive because it competes with open-source products."
  • More TIBCO Live Datamart 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."

    Overview

    The traditional structured relational data warehouse was never designed to handle the volume of exponential data growth, the variety of semi-structured and unstructured data types, or the velocity of real time data processing. Microsoft's SQL Server data warehouse solution integrates your traditional data warehouse with non-relational data and it can handle data of all sizes and types, with real-time performance.

    TIBCO Live Datamart is the industry’s first ultra fast continuous query processing engine made for live operational intelligence. It supports real-time data from anywhere, consumes live streaming data, and can connect to historical data in monolithic and edge systems by using either included data adapters or by leveraging the TIBCO integration platform. With its real-time computations against high-speed streaming data and continuous pushing of results to live queries, TIBCO Live Datamart offers users faster time to actionable insight and automated action. 

    Vertica is a deploy-anywhere SQL database created for elasticity, speed, and advanced analytics. Vertica enables today’s busy teams to modernize their data warehouses, democratize data and analytics to enable increased access, and deploy analytics in a hybrid cloud environment. Additionally, Vertica merges how companies power their analytics by providing a scalable, open, and elastic database with numerous intuitive features.

    In today’s marketplace, organizations are experiencing continued robust growth of data volumes, and citizen data scientists’ broader use of analytics is causing many companies to re-visit and re-examine their systems in order to match the demands of an aggressive marketplace. Analytics are continually swiftly evolving. New data from social media, blogs, IoT sources, data streams, gas and electrical grids, and mobile networks is being constantly gathered in extensive data sets. This presents organizations with a new opportunity to become more data driven, and they must be able to manage the new data growth and identify the trends and sequences that can lead to both improved business opportunities and continued repeat business from their clients.

    Vertica Benefits:

    Vertica has many valuable key benefits. Some of its most useful benefits include:

    • Efficiency:  Vertica provides robust compression and intuitive impressions. This results in users requiring significantly less storage and hardware than other comparable data analytics solutions. The progressive Vertica architecture results in queries that are 10-50 times faster than other platforms while providing more storage data per server.
    • Integration: Each new iteration of Vertica is tested and certified with the latest ETL and visualization tools. It actively supports Java Database Connectivity (JDBC), Open Database Connectivity (ODBC), and popular SQL providers. All these solutions and most leading BI and visualization tools interact seamlessly, making Vertica overall a very cost-effective solution and solid business investment.
    • Cloud flexibility: With Vertica, users do not have to get locked into a single cloud vendor. Users are able to take complete advantage of the current infrastructure that is already in place. Vertica seamlessly integrates with popular public clouds, including Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Azure, AWS, Alibaba, VMware clouds, and more. It also provides for easy portability across on-premise and multi-cloud environments and data lakes. Vertica designs a robust flexible platform for running a company’s analytical and computing workloads, which allows applications to run simultaneously on numerous environments in a hybrid cloud infrastructure. Vertica is able to seamlessly use public clouds and private data centers, and it grants the flexibility to switch in an instant.
