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

"DBAs don’t need to add a partition every month/quarter like with other DBs."
"It maximize cloud economics for mission-critical big data analytical initiatives."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of Vertica is the ability to receive large aggregations at a very quick pace. The use case of subclusters is very good."
"Vertica enabled us to close large deals. Customers with large data sets had to be migrated from PostgreSQL to Vertica due to performance."
"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."
"Vertica gives knowledgeable users and DBAs excellent tools for tuning."
"It has improved my organization's functionality and performance."
"You can create your own rules that include mathematic calculations."
"The solution has a powerful aggregating feature"
 

Cons

"Some of our small to medium-sized customers would like to see containerization and flexibility from the deployment standpoint."
"I think they need an easy client so that you can write queries easily, but it's not necessarily a weak point. I think some users would need them."
"I believe the installation process could be streamlined."
"Very bad support, I would rate it two out of 10."
"Metadata for database files scale okay, but metadata related to tables/columns/sequences must be stored on all nodes."
"They could improve on customer service."
"Documentation has become much better, but can always use some improvement."
"The documentation of Vertica is an area with shortcomings where improvements are required."
"Improvements need to be made on the load balancing side."
"The solution's setup could be quicker and easier."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is relatively cost-effective."
"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."
"Read the fine print carefully."
"Vertica has a perpetual license, but they are currently trying to convert all those licenses to subscription-based licenses on a yearly basis."
"It's difficult today to compete with open-source solutions. In these areas, there is a lot of competition and the price of this solution is a bit pricy."
"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 is free and we pay for the storage."
"From a cost perspective, the software is less than most of its competitors."
"The solution might be considered a bit expensive because it competes with open-source products."
