I am aware that we have licensed it, but I have no knowledge of its cost. As I am not involved in that area.

The pricing could improve, it is a little expensive.
View full review »The pricing, based on raw TB of data stored, is fair and affordable. You can have multiple projections per table without incurring a cost beyond the initial data load. The fact that a Dev and a DR cluster are included in the license cost is a great value!
Work with a vendor, if possible, and take advantage of more aggressive discounts at mid-fiscal year (April) and fiscal year-end (October).

The price is reasonable. We use a pay per license model. Firstly, you need to buy a license. After that, you mainly pay the annual support fee of around 20% or 25%. I think their prices are quite reasonable.
My advice for pricing/licensing/ROI in a "proprietary proprietary“ comparison. You won’t achieve a better cost effectiveness with a different vendor.

It’s expensive, but it’s good once you get it working properly. Like any complicated software product, you’re paying for years of research and development, support, etc. Everyone’s use case is different, and sometimes it’s difficult to put a price on speed. You pay for the storage, not the number of processors or nodes. They have a community edition that allows up to three nodes with up to one TB of storage. You can try it out for free that way, and once you realize how well it works, you can purchase a commercial license as your storage footprint grows.

The price varies completely. Cost information is available publically where you can compare with other solutions.
From a cost perspective, the software is less than most of its competitors.
Customers save money by a smaller hardware footprint, fewer nodes, less storage, lower-cost storage, and no appliances. So it is typically a lot less money than an Oracle, Teradata, or Snowflake.
Overall, they are highly competitive when it comes to pricing.
View full review »TCO is much lower given the Linux OS and the fact that Vertica is licensed by data size and not node count. The best advice for licensing is to make sure you have a proper data retention policy in place and well-documented as well as some growth expectations before buying. Following this, it will make sure you don't over or under buy.
View full review »Pricing is more than fair. This is very reasonably priced and since it is a perpetual license you are not stuck paying it again and again.
View full review »We use the free community license, plenty of space for our environment. If I had unlimited budget I'd buy a preinstalled instance on EC2, much faster, but costly.

It's difficult today to compete with open-source solutions. In these areas, there is a lot of competition and the price of this solution is a bit pricy.
View full review »Its reasonably priced for non-trivial data problems.
View full review »Negotiate; with HDFS, storage is cheap. Vertica charges per terabyte of compressed data. But the underlying architecture materializes data in a different order and hence space utilization is always heavy, even for a single table; add to that the replication factor.
View full review »I found paying for the amount of storage we used simple. It was a surprise because we underestimated how much storage projections use and definitely did not purchase the correct license for the amount of data we estimated we would be handling.

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.
Vertica is delivering more and more features to support load/unload for external storages.
Vertica is pretty expensive, take into account the servers and network costs before committing.

The price could be cheaper and it is best to negotiate the price.
View full review »Nothing to advise really; try it out first, it's free up to three nodes and 1TB, and then get in contact with their sales guys.

The pricing depends on the license model because there are several. It depends on the client, but it's cheaper than other solutions. I think it's cheap for all the functionality and robustness. It's not very expensive to deploy.

Negotiate when their fiscal year is about to close :)
View full review »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.
View full review »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.
View full review »Licensing is based on size of the database.
