T Venkatesh - PeerSpot reviewer
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…

Standout features are real-time dashboards and powerful aggregation
This product has a powerful aggregating feature which is great. It also has its own APIs. Whenever the data comes in, it can be streamed out anywhere. It's the only solution that provides real-time dashboards. Tableau doesn't have this feature. The three variants of historical data, real-time data and predicted data from Spitfire, give more strength to LiveDatamart without any dependency on other products. The product is easy to set up with very low maintenance required.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The performance is very good and the aggregate records are fast."
"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."
"Any novice user can tune vertical queries with minimal training (or no training at all)."
"The most valuable feature is Vertica's performance and the ease of using the database."
"Bulk loads, batch loads, and micro-batch loads have made it possible for our organization to process near real-time ingestions and faster analytics."
"The product's initial setup phase is extremely simple."
"It's the fastest database I have ever tested. That's the most important feature of Vertica."
"We are able to integrate our Vertica data warehouse with Tableau to create numerous reports quickly and efficiently."
"You can create your own rules that include mathematic calculations."
"The solution has a powerful aggregating feature"
 

Cons

"Support is an area where it could get better."
"In my opinion, Vertica's documentation could be improved. Currently, there is not enough documentation available to gain a comprehensive understanding of the platform."
"The documentation of Vertica is an area with shortcomings where improvements are required."
"The integration of this solution with ODI could be improved."
"The product could improve by adding support for a wider variety of data types and enhancing features to better compete with other databases."
"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."
"I would personally like to see extended developer tooling suited to Vertica – think published PowerDesigner SQL dialect support."
"Very bad support, I would rate it two out of 10."
"The solution's setup could be quicker and easier."
"Improvements need to be made on the load balancing side."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Work with a vendor, if possible, and take advantage of more aggressive discounts at mid-fiscal year (April) and fiscal year-end (October).​"
"It is fast to purchase through the AWS Marketplace."
"The pricing and licensing depend on the size of your environment and the zone where you want to implement."
"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."
"It's free up to three nodes and 1TB, and then get in contact with their sales guys."
"The price of Vertica is less expensive than some competitors, such as Teradata."
"Vertica is an expensive tool."
"The price is reasonable. We use a pay per license model. Firstly, you need to buy a license. After that, you mainly pay the annual support fee of around 20% or 25%. I think their prices are quite reasonable."
"The solution might be considered a bit expensive because it competes with open-source products."
