We performed a comparison between Oracle Exadata and Vertica based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Warehouse solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It is the best solution for OLTP and data warehousing."
"The most valuable feature is storage offloading."
"We have used this solution for a long period of time so it has become easy for us to query any kind of data from Oracle Exadata which has been valuable."
"The performance of the data is the most important part."
"A very stable solution, which we have hardly any problems with."
"Oracle has reliable solutions and this one is no different."
"It is a highly relevant option with extreme performance."
"Oracle is known to be the number one in their industry; the help and support, the features they are giving the clients comparing to other databases, the new technology, the provide a good solution."
"Its projections and encoding are excellent tools for tuning large volumes."
"The extensibility and efficiency provided by their C++ SDK."
"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 like the projection feature, which increases query performance."
"Speed and resiliency are probably the best parts of this product."
"The performance is very good and the aggregate records are fast."
"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 most valuable feature of Vertica is the unmatchable database performance."
"The integration with third-party applications regarding access management security could be better."
"It would be nice to have a single click button to, say, migrate my VMware VM into the Oracle VM, or vice-versa."
"Setting up Exadata is complex. You need an Oracle vendor or someone who is Oracle-certified to set it up."
"Since the product is an appliance, it is very costly."
"The solution could always be more stable and more reliable."
"I have found Oracle Exadata to be scalable. However, you have to purchase more hardware, such as memory."
"I believe Oracle must improve its procedure to support the clients. The customer Ready Service must provide more use cases and benchmarks of their infrastructure to support client design decisions. Oracle must audit their partners regularly to guarantee they provide quality service even after been passed on partnership examination."
"We have experienced some issues with processing unstructured data on Exadata. This is an important requirement for our AIML based use case. Reactive analytics data can not be prepared easily in Oracle Exadata."
"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."
"Very bad support, I would rate it two out of 10."
"Whatever's out, the core is not always as great as the engine, especially their first version."
"If you do not utilize the tuning tools like projections, encoding, partitions, and statistics, then performance and scalability will suffer."
"The biggest problem is the cost of cloud deployment."
"The documentation of Vertica is an area with shortcomings where improvements are required."
"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."
"Fact-to-fact joins on multi-billion record tables perform poorly."
