Find out what your peers are saying about Snowflake Computing, Oracle, Teradata and others in Data Warehouse."The deployment of our solution across a number of servers using Ingres .NET has meant that we can protect the database server behind a highly secure firewall and deploy the front end solutions on a normal web server."
"Initiate on one node, and the RPM propagates automatically to all other nodes. "
"Vertica is easy to use and provides really high performance, stability, and scalability."
"It's the fastest database I have ever tested. That's the most important feature of Vertica."
"The solution has great capabilities. The tool that instructs the internal database forward is easy to use and is very powerful."
"Vertica is a columnar database, this support our developments in analytics, advanced analytics, and ETL process with large sets of data."
"The feature I like best is performance. We use Red Tool and Red Job for the data warehouse and reporting. It's perfect. Performance is good, and it can return ad hoc queries very quickly. Of course, it's a cluster, so it's easy to scale."
"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 enabled us to close large deals. Customers with large data sets had to be migrated from PostgreSQL to Vertica due to performance."
"The ability to reset the log file without stopping the DBMS would be helpful for us."
"Very bad support, I would rate it two out of 10."
"Support is an area where it could get better."
"Monitoring tools need to be lightweight. They should not take up heavy resources of the main server."
"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."
"Some of our small to medium-sized customers would like to see containerization and flexibility from the deployment standpoint."
"We faced some challenges when trying to use the temporary tables feature."
"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."
"It should provide a GUI interface for data management and tuning."
