"In terms of improvement, IBM Db2 Warehouse should be more scalable."
"The areas of the solution that is needing the most improvement are separating compute from storage, elasticity, which means scaling up and then retracting."
"Lacks sufficient documentation and particularly in Spanish."
"There should be more material available for training and training should be free."
"I would personally like to see extended developer tooling suited to Vertica – think published PowerDesigner SQL dialect support."
"It would be great if this were a managed service in AWS."
"I believe the installation process could be streamlined."
"The documentation of Vertica is an area with shortcomings where improvements are required."
"When it is about to reach the maximum storage capacity, it becomes slow."
