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."With a cluster available, you can manage the security layer using the shared SDX - it provides flexibility."
"The solution is reliable and stable, it fits our requirements."
"The product provides better data processing features than other tools."
"Cloudera is a very manageable solution with good support."
"The search function is the most valuable aspect of the solution."
"The product is completely secure."
"We experienced many issues when we started working with Hadoop 3.0 in the Cloudera 6.0 version, so there are a lot of things that need to improve. I believe they are working on that."
"We had a data warehouse before all the data. We can process a lot more data structures."
"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. "
"I don't need any special hardware. I can use commodity hardware, which is nice to have in a commercial solution."
"Its analytics has enabled Pythian's clients to get the business insights as quick as they wanted. Its lower maintenance has also improved the ROI."
"Allows us to take volumes and process them at a very high speed."
"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."
"Speed and resiliency are probably the best parts of this product."
"The most valuable feature of Vertica is the ability to receive large aggregations at a very quick pace. The use case of subclusters is very good."
"Vertica's most outstanding features are the compression rates achieved and the speed of access of high volume data."
"The governance aspect of the solution should be improved."
"The solution is not fit for on-premise distributions."
"There are multiple bugs when we update."
"There are better solutions out there that have more features than this one."
"Without the big data environment, we cannot store all of this data live. We have billions of records and terabytes of storage to be used. It's not an option actually for us to have a big data environment."
"The dashboard could be improved."
"The procedure for operations could be simplified."
"The initial setup of Cloudera is difficult."
"In a future release, we would like to have artificial intelligence capabilities like neural networks. Customers are demanding this type of analytics."
"Very bad support, I would rate it two out of 10."
"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."
"It would be great if this were a managed service in AWS."
"When it is about to reach the maximum storage capacity, it becomes slow."
"Whatever's out, the core is not always as great as the engine, especially their first version."
"The biggest problem is the cost of cloud deployment."
"I have found that coding support could be simplified."
