Processes query faster through multiple systems simultaneously, but it could support different data types
We use the solution for various tasks, including preparing data marts and generating offers. It helps extract data based on rules from the policy team and provides insights to enhance business operations. We also analyze transactions to target customers and improve business performance The…

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

"Its analytics has enabled Pythian's clients to get the business insights as quick as they wanted. Its lower maintenance has also improved the ROI."
"Vertica has a few features that I like. From an architecture standpoint, they have separated compute and storage. So you have low-cost object storage for primary storage and the ability to have several sub-clusters working off the same ObjectStore. So it provides workload isolation."
"Partition and join back to node are easy and simple for DBAs."
"It maximizes cloud economics with Eon Mode by scaling cluster size to meet variable workload demands."
"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."
"It maximize cloud economics for mission-critical big data analytical initiatives."
"The performance is very good and the aggregate records are fast."
"Allows us to take volumes and process them at a very high speed."
"The product meets expectations when it comes to stability."
"Oracle NoSQL is pretty scalable."
"The tool is easy to learn."
"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."
"NoSQL has high availability. I think it's perfect from a technical perspective. It's quick to run and go."
 

Cons

"Some of our small to medium-sized customers would like to see containerization and flexibility from the deployment standpoint."
"Very bad support, I would rate it two out of 10."
"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."
"The integration of this solution with ODI could be improved."
"If you do not utilize the tuning tools like projections, encoding, partitions, and statistics, then performance and scalability will suffer."
"Documentation has become much better, but can always use some improvement."
"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."
"In a future release, we would like to have artificial intelligence capabilities like neural networks. Customers are demanding this type of analytics."
"Focusing on making the administration easier compared to other solutions like MongoDB could be beneficial. Simplifying the administrative tasks could enhance the user experience."
"Handling big data in a user-friendly way is currently a bit of an issue. The dashboard for this needs some work."
"I would rate Oracle NoSQL six or 6.5 out of ten based on my experience."
"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."
"The installation is difficult."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price could be cheaper and it is best to negotiate the price."
"It's free up to three nodes and 1TB, and then get in contact with their sales guys."
"The first TB is free and you can use all the Vertica features. After 1TB you have to pay for licensing. The product is worth it, but be aware of this condition, and plan. The compression ratio is explained in the documentation."
"I am aware that we have licensed it, but I have no knowledge of its cost."
"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."
"Work with a vendor, if possible, and take advantage of more aggressive discounts at mid-fiscal year (April) and fiscal year-end (October).​"
"The solution is relatively cost-effective."
"Read the fine print carefully."
"The product is expensive and Oracle could work to lower the licensing cost."
