Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Bulk loads, batch loads, and micro-batch loads have made it possible for our organization to process near real-time ingestions and faster analytics."
"Partition and join back to node are easy and simple for DBAs."
"Integrated R and geospatial functions are helping us improve efficiency and explore new revenue streams. ​"
"Vertica is a columnar database where the query performance is extremely fast and it can be used for real-time integrations for API and other applications. The solution requires zero maintenance which is helpful."
"The hardware usage and speed has been the most valuable feature of this solution. It is very fast and has saved us a lot of money."
"Vertica enabled us to close large deals. Customers with large data sets had to be migrated from PostgreSQL to Vertica due to performance."
"We are also opening new areas of business and potential new revenue streams using Vertica's analytic functions, most notably geospatial, where we are able to run billions of comparisons of lat/long point locations against polygon and point/radius locations in seconds. ​"
"Vertica gives knowledgeable users and DBAs excellent tools for tuning."
"One advantage is that if you already have an Oracle Database, it easily integrates with that."
"The analytics have been very good. We've found them to be quite useful."
"With Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse, things are much simpler. Creating a structure, initializing the servers, extending the servers, those are all things that are very, very easy. That's the main reason we use it."
"The solution is self-securing. All data is encrypted and security updates and patches are applied automatically both periodically and off-cycle."
"It provides Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) capabilities by default to address data security issues."
"It is a very stable tool...It is an extremely scalable tool."
"The product is easy to use."
"The solution has a self-backup, so you don't need a DBA (database administrator) to do a backup."
 

Cons

"The integration of this solution with ODI could be improved."
"The biggest problem is the cost of cloud deployment."
"Support is an area where it could get better."
"Very bad support, I would rate it two out of 10."
"Monitoring tools need to be lightweight. They should not take up heavy resources of the main server."
"It needs integration with multiple clouds."
"Performance of management of metadata layer (database catalog) needs improvement. We still have to have smaller customers on PostgreSQL; Vertica cannot manage thousands of schemata."
"Whatever's out, the core is not always as great as the engine, especially their first version."
"The setup is complex."
"Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse is not available as an on-premises solution."
"The initial setup was pretty complex. It was not easy."
"They should make the solution more user-friendly."
"Optimization should be better."
"Ease of connectivity could be improved."
"It doesn't work well when you have unstructured data or you need online analytics. It is not as nice as Hadoop in these aspects."
"We are not satisfied with the technical support. Their understanding is lacking."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The price of Vertica is less expensive than some competitors, such as Teradata."
"The pricing for this solution is very reasonable compared to other vendors."
"The price could be cheaper and it is best to negotiate the price."
"It's an expensive product"
"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."
"Vertica has a perpetual license, but they are currently trying to convert all those licenses to subscription-based licenses on a yearly basis."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is a low price and ten is a high price, I rate the pricing an eight."
"Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse's pricing is fair and reasonable compared to the other cloud vendors."
"You pay as you go, and you don't pay for services that you don't use."
"Cloud solutions are cheaper, but in the long run, they may not be much cheaper. They certainly have a lower initial cost. The licensing is yearly, and it is based on the size of the hardware and the number of users."
"The solution is expensive."
"The licensing cost of the product can vary since you can integrate it very easily with other products or other cloud products...You pay as you use it, so it is not yearly or monthly payments to be made toward Oracle."
"The price depends on the configuration we choose."
"We pay approximately $70,000 per month. The cost includes maintenance and support."
