We performed a comparison between IBM Db2 Warehouse 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."I think it scales really well and as long as you take enough time to learn a little bit about it, it works really well."
"The standout feature of IBM Db2 Warehouse, which is particularly valuable for large enterprises, is its ability to handle big data."
"The analytics engine is not bad at forecasting predictions."
"It can be mounted on the cloud, which is a huge plus. If the client, for example, starts small with on-premise deployment and then it rapidly needs to grow, we can transfer this to the cloud easily."
"Provides good security and reliability."
"Some of the best features are stored procedures, parallelism, and different indexing strategies."
"Any novice user can tune vertical queries with minimal training (or no training at all)."
"It maximizes cloud economics with Eon Mode by scaling cluster size to meet variable workload demands."
"It maximize cloud economics for mission-critical big data analytical initiatives."
"The solution has great capabilities. The tool that instructs the internal database forward is easy to use and is very powerful."
"Vertica enabled us to close large deals. Customers with large data sets had to be migrated from PostgreSQL to Vertica due to performance."
"The product's initial setup phase is extremely simple."
"The most valuable feature of Vertica is the unmatchable database performance."
"The feature I like best is performance. We use Red Tool and Red Job for the data warehouse and reporting. It's perfect. Performance is good, and it can return ad hoc queries very quickly. Of course, it's a cluster, so it's easy to scale."
"Lacks sufficient documentation and particularly in Spanish."
"The biggest problems we have is when the backup solution is failing or slow and we run out of log space, which has happened probably a couple of times in the last four years."
"There should be more material available for training and training should be free."
"The biggest challenge anyone could have with Db2 Warehouse is their references or online resources and documentation. They are very, very, very limited on the web."
"IBM Db2 Warehouse needs to improve its interface."
"The areas of the solution that is needing the most improvement are separating compute from storage, elasticity, which means scaling up and then retracting."
"In terms of improvement, IBM Db2 Warehouse should be more scalable."
"I have found that coding support could be simplified."
"The geospatial functionality could be designed better."
"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."
"It needs integration with multiple clouds."
"Performance of management of metadata layer (database catalog) needs improvement. We still have to have smaller customers on PostgreSQL; Vertica cannot manage thousands of schemata."
"Documentation has become much better, but can always use some improvement."
"In a future release, we would like to have artificial intelligence capabilities like neural networks. Customers are demanding this type of analytics."
"Vertica can improve automation and documentation. Additionally, the solution can be simplified."
