Cons

"The solution is expensive. For future releases, it would be beneficial if Kovair Data Lake could enhance its ETL and data capabilities."
"Maybe the chat conversation feature could be improved."
"When it is about to reach the maximum storage capacity, it becomes slow."
"In my opinion, Vertica's documentation could be improved. Currently, there is not enough documentation available to gain a comprehensive understanding of the platform."
"They could improve on customer service."
"The documentation of Vertica is an area with shortcomings where improvements are required."
"The integration with AI has room for improvement."
"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."
"There are a lot of limitations within this product and it makes things extremely hard for developers. It lacks Stored Procedure, packages, and triggers like other RDBMs."
"Promotion/marketing must be improved, even though it is a very useful product at very good price, it is not as "popular" as it should be."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the tool's pricing a five out of ten."
"The pricing for this solution is very reasonable compared to other vendors."
"Vertica has a perpetual license, but they are currently trying to convert all those licenses to subscription-based licenses on a yearly basis."
"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."
"Vertica is an expensive tool."
"It is fast to purchase through the AWS Marketplace."
"The pricing depends on the license model because there are several. It depends on the client, but it's cheaper than other solutions. I think it's cheap for all the functionality and robustness. It's not very expensive to deploy."
"The pricing could improve, it is a little expensive."
"I am aware that we have licensed it, but I have no knowledge of its cost."
