Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Eighty percent of the ETL operations have improved since implementing this solution."
"The most valuable feature of Vertica is the ability to receive large aggregations at a very quick pace. The use case of subclusters is very good."
"Integrated R and geospatial functions are helping us improve efficiency and explore new revenue streams. ​"
"The fast columnar store database structure allows our query times to be at least 10x faster than on any other database."
"The solution is quick, has good compression data, and is not expensive."
"Bulk loads, batch loads, and micro-batch loads have made it possible for our organization to process near real-time ingestions and faster analytics."
"The solution was executed quite quickly due to its columnar storage underground, which is the most valuable feature of our company"
"I have found the solution to be scalable."
"The analytics have been very good. We've found them to be quite useful."
"The product is easy to use."
"One advantage is that if you already have an Oracle Database, it easily integrates with that."
"The product has self-repair features."
"The solution is used for analytics and it works for our data security needs."
"It is a very stable tool...It is an extremely scalable tool."
"Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse is used globally to deliver extreme performance on large Financial data sets."
"The solution is used for analytics and it works for our data security needs."
 

Cons

"Suboptimal projection design causes queries to not scale linearly."
"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."
"I think they need an easy client so that you can write queries easily, but it's not necessarily a weak point. I think some users would need them."
"The integration of this solution with ODI could be improved."
"We are looking for a cheaper deployment for the solution. Although we did a lot of benchmarks, like Redshift. We tried Redshift, it didn't work. It didn't work out for us as well."
"Vertica's native cloud support could be improved, and its installation could be made easier."
"The documentation of Vertica is an area with shortcomings where improvements are required."
"In my opinion, Vertica's documentation could be improved. Currently, there is not enough documentation available to gain a comprehensive understanding of the platform."
"It is very important the integration with other platforms be made to be as easy as it is with an on-premises deployment."
"An improvement for us would be the inclusion of support for an internal IP, so we could use it directly with the VCN in Oracle Cloud."
"Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse is not available as an on-premises solution."
"The initial setup was pretty complex. It was not easy."
"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."
"Optimization should be better."
"The installation process is complex. Oracle can make the installation process better."
"A lot of the tools that were previously there have now been taken away."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is relatively cost-effective."
"The pricing and licensing depend on the size of your environment and the zone where you want to implement."
"From a cost perspective, the software is less than most of its competitors."
"Vertica is an expensive tool."
"Vertica has a perpetual license, but they are currently trying to convert all those licenses to subscription-based licenses on a yearly basis."
"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."
"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."
"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's cost is reasonable."
"Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse's pricing is fair and reasonable compared to the other cloud vendors."
"The price depends on the configuration we choose."
"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 cost is perfect with Oracle Universal credit."
"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."
