The implementation was completed by a vendor.

Our team handled the deployment, we did it ourselves.

It is not difficult to maintain. 

We have a Database Performance Analyzer (DPA), and we've gained experience over time. I've been handling it for three years now.

Implementation was in-house. No significant issues were encountered.

We did the implementation ourselves with a five-person technical team. However, the first time we did the implementation we had support from the Vertica team. They helped us by providing recommendations and best implementation practices.

We implemented through a vendor. I highly recommend using IIS, they are amazing.

I do all business through IIS. Top notch vendor, they are not just a "call and send a quote" company. I have developed a great professional relationship with my reps over the last five years over two Vertica admin jobs. They come onsite, enable access to the highest levels of Vertica engineering and management when needed, and also have found us opportunities at many of Vertica/HPE/Micro Focus trusted partners, such as Docker and Ormuco.

We did the implementation ourselves.

We had assistance from Vertica with the implementation of the solution.

We implemented our first cluster in collaboration with the HPE Vertica team. I would always suggest this step, as you will be able to better understand the details about Vertica and how to operate the system efficiently.

The first time I used Vertica, we tried doing it ourselves in the beginning. We learned a lot from our failures, but still weren’t getting the results we’d hoped for. After getting professional services help, we were pointed in the right direction, and that made a world of difference. I highly recommend bringing in someone who knows what they’re doing to get you started on the right foot.

We had a joint team consisting of both an in-house team and external consultants. It’s very important to build up the internal knowledge by participating in actual project work.

We implemented through our in-house team. You need to read the docs, then read them again, and then make yourself a cheat sheet. Once you have done the setup for a two-node cluster, do some Research and Development before taking the time to do a large production cluster or buy the license.

We did need support though for the initial installation. They were incredibly responsive and helpful and deployment was completed in a very reasonable amount of time despite issues initially getting the Management Console up and running.

We are the developers of a solution and it is a very sophisticated project. It's something that we spent two years to develop. We already tested it and we are only waiting for the customer to try it and then purchase it. It has taken some time to implement the solution to the way we wanted for our company.

We implemented it in-house, I believe.

We implemented it in-house. I would advise anyone to use a vendor unless you have an in-house expert.

We implemented it through a vendor. The team was good, but they were not experts.

In house implementation.

In house

Implementation was done in-house, with excellent support from the Vertica engineers.

Own efforts.

In-house.

I was not involved with the implementation.

NO

We implemented it in-house. Since it's different than a raw store database, you need to understand the architecture in order to get the most out of Vertica. This means that you will need to design you data model to suit the Vertica architecture otherwise you will get the same performance as the solution you're replacing, or worse. If your implementation is not complex you can just put it in and you will get out of the box improvements, but for complex ones you need to know how Vertica works and build the right design.

In-house

In-house. The vendor team had many persons working on our project and we got an impression that it is difficult for them to focus on our requirements.

Our in-house team worked on the PoC.

The solution's deployment takes a week or even more. We implemented the solution with the help of its support. The deployment can be done in-house, but expertise is needed.
