We performed a comparison between Teradata 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's a pre-configured appliance that requires very little in terms of setting-up."
"The ability to handle machine data parallel processing is the most valuable feature of Teradata."
"Teradata can be easily used in ETL mode transformations, so there is no need for expensive and inconvenient ETL tools"
"It is a solid database a lot of different tools to move data."
"Cuts time to process huge amounts of data with efficient analytical queries."
"The most valuable feature of Teradata is the quick processing of large data."
"Teradata solutions help organizations reduce IT, operations, and maintenance costs; enhance on-time delivery of products and services."
"I've never had any issues with scalability."
"Eighty percent of the ETL operations have improved since implementing this solution."
"The performance is very good and the aggregate records are fast."
"The extensibility and efficiency provided by their C++ SDK."
"It's the fastest database I have ever tested. That's the most important feature of Vertica."
"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."
"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."
"For me, It's performance, scalability, low cost, and it's integrated into enterprise and big data environments."
"The cloud is the new challenge and the new opportunity."
"Teradata needs to expand the kind of training that's available to customers. Teradata only offers training directly and doesn't delegate to any third-party companies. As a result, it's harder to find people trained on Teradata in our market relative to Oracle."
"Data synchronization to the DR site."
"Teradata is an old data warehouse, and they're not improving in terms of new, innovative features."
"Query language and its functionality are rather limited, compared to Oracle or even SQL Server. However, it is possible to perform any kind of logic in it (though some workarounds may be required)."
"The SQL Assistant is very basic. This tool can be improved for usability."
"The current operational approach needs improvement."
"It's primarily designed for big projects and therefore, the pricing is pretty high. It's not suitable for smaller companies."
"In a future release, we would like to have artificial intelligence capabilities like neural networks. Customers are demanding this type of analytics."
"Documentation has become much better, but can always use some improvement."
"The integration with AI has room for improvement."
"Vertica seems to scale well, except for one use case where you are on a multi-node cluster. For example, if you had a nine-node cluster, one node goes down, then the eight nodes don't scale, because the absence of the node is very apparent, which is a problem. If you have nine nodes or multiple nodes, the whole idea is that if one of those nodes goes down, then you should not see an impact on the system if you have enough capacity. Even though we have enough capacity, you can still see the impact of the one node going down."
"Very bad support, I would rate it two out of 10."
"Promotion/marketing must be improved, even though it is a very useful product at very good price, it is not as "popular" as it should be."
"I have found that coding support could be simplified."
"They could improve on customer service."
