Featured Reviews

Mohsin Pathan - PeerSpot reviewer
Standout features are real-time dashboards and powerful aggregation
This product has a powerful aggregating feature which is great. It also has its own APIs. Whenever the data comes in, it can be streamed out anywhere. It's the only solution that provides real-time dashboards. Tableau doesn't have this feature. The three variants of historical data, real-time data and predicted data from Spitfire, give more strength to LiveDatamart without any dependency on other products. The product is easy to set up with very low maintenance required.
T Venkatesh - PeerSpot reviewer
Processes query faster through multiple systems simultaneously, but it could support different data types
We use the solution for various tasks, including preparing data marts and generating offers. It helps extract data based on rules from the policy team and provides insights to enhance business operations. We also analyze transactions to target customers and improve business performance The…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution has a powerful aggregating feature"
"You can create your own rules that include mathematic calculations."
"The performance is very good and the aggregate records are fast."
"The most valuable feature is Vertica's performance and the ease of using the database."
"DBAs don’t need to add a partition every month/quarter like with other DBs."
"Vertica's most outstanding features are the compression rates achieved and the speed of access of high volume data."
"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 most valuable feature of Vertica is the unmatchable database performance."
"Its projections and encoding are excellent tools for tuning large volumes."
"The solution has great capabilities. The tool that instructs the internal database forward is easy to use and is very powerful."
 

Cons

"Improvements need to be made on the load balancing side."
"The solution's setup could be quicker and easier."
"Some of our small to medium-sized customers would like to see containerization and flexibility from the deployment standpoint."
"Metadata for database files scale okay, but metadata related to tables/columns/sequences must be stored on all nodes."
"Whatever's out, the core is not always as great as the engine, especially their first version."
"Vertica's native cloud support could be improved, and its installation could be made easier."
"Pricing could be more competitive."
"Vertica offers a platform-as-a-service version, but their software-as-a-service solution is only available on AWS. They need to get a SaaS version on Azure and GCP as fast as possible."
"In our company, we have faced difficulties in scaling the solution for certain use cases."
"The product could improve by adding support for a wider variety of data types and enhancing features to better compete with other databases."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution might be considered a bit expensive because it competes with open-source products."
"It is fast to purchase through the AWS Marketplace."
"I am aware that we have licensed it, but I have no knowledge of its cost."
"Vertica has a perpetual license, but they are currently trying to convert all those licenses to subscription-based licenses on a yearly basis."
"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."
"The solution is free and we pay for the storage."
"The solution is relatively cost-effective."
"From a cost perspective, the software is less than most of its competitors."
"I think it's starting to get a little expensive. Open source products are starting to get more robust, so I think that's something that they need to start looking at in terms of licensing."
