Processes query faster through multiple systems simultaneously, but it could support different data types

The implementation is simple and only takes 15 to 30 minutes
NoSQL has high availability. I think it's perfect from a technical perspective. It's quick to run and go Oracle could improve how NoSQL works in containers. I don't think NoSQL needs any new features, but I want to see new features in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. I would like to see some…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Allows us to take volumes and process them at a very high speed."
"The solution has great capabilities. The tool that instructs the internal database forward is easy to use and is very powerful."
"Vertica is a great product because customers can compress and code data. The infrastructure that data warehouse solutions need is a commodity server so that customers don't have to invest in infrastructure."
"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."
"Partition and join back to node are easy and simple for DBAs."
"Any novice user can tune vertical queries with minimal training (or no training at all)."
"For me, It's performance, scalability, low cost, and it's integrated into enterprise and big data environments."
"Its projections and encoding are excellent tools for tuning large volumes."
"The product meets expectations when it comes to stability."
"Oracle NoSQL is pretty scalable."
"NoSQL has high availability. I think it's perfect from a technical perspective. It's quick to run and go."
"We have a support agreement with Oracle, ensuring full support for the product. It is crucial for our public-facing features. Oracle NoSQL is easy to manage and has fast data retrieval. Its compatibility with Oracle Database is seamless, making integration between NoSQL and relational databases smooth and effortless. Oracle NoSQL and NoSQL data replication in our environment works efficiently. Oracle fully supports it, and we can easily configure and manage authentication for the NoSQL database."
"The tool is easy to learn."
 

Cons

"One feature, which has really benefited us, is the scalability offered by Vertica as it has enabled Pythian's clients to manage data with agility."
"If you do not utilize the tuning tools like projections, encoding, partitions, and statistics, then performance and scalability will suffer."
"Very bad support, I would rate it two out of 10."
"It would be great if this were a managed service in AWS."
"In our company, we have faced difficulties in scaling the solution for certain use cases."
"It's hard to make it slow for a small data volume. For large volumes, it's hard to make it work. It's also hard to make it faster, and to make it scale."
"The biggest problem is the cost of cloud deployment."
"The geospatial functionality could be designed better."
"The installation is difficult."
"Oracle could improve how NoSQL works in containers. I don't think NoSQL needs any new features, but I want to see new features in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. I would like to see some improvements in OCI's building options."
"I would rate Oracle NoSQL six or 6.5 out of ten based on my experience."
"Handling big data in a user-friendly way is currently a bit of an issue. The dashboard for this needs some work."
"Focusing on making the administration easier compared to other solutions like MongoDB could be beneficial. Simplifying the administrative tasks could enhance the user experience."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Read the fine print carefully."
"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."
"The pricing and licensing depend on the size of your environment and the zone where you want to implement."
"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."
"From a cost perspective, the software is less than most of its competitors."
"It's an expensive product"
"I am aware that we have licensed it, but I have no knowledge of its cost."
"The product is expensive and Oracle could work to lower the licensing cost."
