We performed a comparison between Dremio and Vertica based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Data Warehouse solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Dremio gives you the ability to create services which do not require additional resources and sterilization."
"Everyone uses Dremio in my company; some use it only for the analytics function."
"Dremio allows querying the files I have on my block storage or object storage."
"Dremio enables you to manage changes more effectively than any other data warehouse platform. There are two things that come into play. One is data lineage. If you are looking at data in Dremio, you may want to know the source and what happened to it along the way or how it may have been transformed in the data pipeline to get to the point where you're consuming it."
"The most valuable feature of Dremio is it can sit on top of any other data storage, such as Amazon S3, Azure Data Factory, SGFS, or Hive. The memory competition is good. If you are running any kind of materialized view, you'd be running in memory."
"We primarily use Dremio to create a data framework and a data queue."
"Partition and join back to node are easy and simple for DBAs."
"It maximize cloud economics for mission-critical big data analytical initiatives."
"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."
"The feature of the product that is most important is the speed. I needed a columnar database, and its speed is what it's built to do, and so that's what really does differentiate Vertica from its competitors."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of Vertica is the unmatchable database performance."
"The solution is quick, has good compression data, and is not expensive."
"I enjoy the cybersecurity and backup features."
"Dremio doesn't support the Delta connector. Dremio writes the IT support for Delta, but the support isn't great. There is definitely room for improvement."
"We've faced a challenge with integrating Dremio and Databricks, specifically regarding authentication. It is not shaking hands very easily."
"It shows errors sometimes."
"Dremio takes a long time to execute large queries or the executing of correlated queries or nested queries. Additionally, the solution could improve if we could read data from the streaming pipelines or if it allowed us to create the ETL pipeline directly on top of it, similar to Snowflake."
"I cannot use the recursive common table expression (CTE) in Dremio because the support page says it's currently unsupported."
"They have an automated tool for building SQL queries, so you don't need to know SQL. That interface works, but it could be more efficient in terms of the SQL generated from those things. It's going through some growing pains. There is so much value in tools like these for people with no SQL experience. Over time, Dermio will make these capabilities more accessible to users who aren't database people."
"The integration with AI has room for improvement."
"They could improve the integration and some of the features in the cloud version."
"The geospatial functionality could be designed better."
"Whatever's out, the core is not always as great as the engine, especially their first version."
"I have found that coding support could be simplified."
"If you do not utilize the tuning tools like projections, encoding, partitions, and statistics, then performance and scalability will suffer."
"When it is about to reach the maximum storage capacity, it becomes slow."
"I believe the installation process could be streamlined."
