"Its projections and encoding are excellent tools for tuning large volumes.""Allows us to take volumes and process them at a very high speed.""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.""The performance is very good and the aggregate records are fast.""DBAs don’t need to add a partition every month/quarter like with other DBs.""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.""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.""The most valuable feature of Vertica is the unmatchable database performance."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The solution’s paid plans are expensive."
  • "The license is expensive."
  • "While the core solution itself is not exorbitant, the support services are associated with a significant maintenance fee, often ranging from twenty to thirty percent."
  • "The product is free since it is an open-source tool."
  • "It is an open-source product."
  • "The product is expensive."

  • "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."
