We performed a comparison between Vertica and VMware Tanzu Data Services 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."The feature of the product that is most important is the speed. I needed a columnar database, and its speed is what it's built to do, and so that's what really does differentiate Vertica from its competitors."
"The most valuable feature is Vertica's performance and the ease of using the database."
"It maximizes cloud economics with Eon Mode by scaling cluster size to meet variable workload demands."
"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 fast columnar store database structure allows our query times to be at least 10x faster than on any other database."
"It's the fastest database I have ever tested. That's the most important feature of Vertica."
"Eighty percent of the ETL operations have improved since implementing this solution."
"The product's initial setup phase is extremely simple."
"The most valuable feature for us is horizontal scaling."
"Very fast for query processing."
"The product's feature of data transaction works fast."
"A very good, open-source platform."
"It is easy to use. The addition of more queues and more services can be managed very easily."
"The parallel load features mean that Greenplum is capable of high-volume data loading in parallel to all of the cluster segments, which is really valuable."
"The stability of this solution was very good."
"Reliability for the messages is key. RabbitMQ ensures your messages are safe. They are not deleted and stuff."
"If you do not utilize the tuning tools like projections, encoding, partitions, and statistics, then performance and scalability will suffer."
"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."
"There are a lot of limitations within this product and it makes things extremely hard for developers. It lacks Stored Procedure, packages, and triggers like other RDBMs."
"I have found that coding support could be simplified."
"It needs integration with multiple clouds."
"We faced some challenges when trying to use the temporary tables feature."
"The biggest problem is the cost of cloud deployment."
"Support is an area where it could get better."
"If messages pile up until the space of the memory is full, then basically, the cluster goes down, and someone has to log in through the backend and purge all messages."
"Initial setup is a little complex. It took around two weeks to deploy."
"There are some security concerns that have been raised with this product."
"Maintenance is time-consuming."
"We needed to configure additional plugins. While it was relatively easy to do this on-premises, it became more challenging in the cloud."
"The solution needs improvement on performance."
"The user interface could be improved."
"they need to interact more with customers. They need to explain the features, especially when there are new releases of Greenplum. I know just from information I've found that it has other features, it can be used to for analytics, for integration with Big Data, Hadoop. They need to focus on this part with the customer."
