Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Its projections and encoding are excellent tools for tuning large volumes."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is Vertica's performance and the ease of using the database."
"The performance is very good and the aggregate records are fast."
"The feature I like best is performance. We use Red Tool and Red Job for the data warehouse and reporting. It's perfect. Performance is good, and it can return ad hoc queries very quickly. Of course, it's a cluster, so it's easy to scale."
"The solution is quick, has good compression data, and is not expensive."
"Bulk loads, batch loads, and micro-batch loads have made it possible for our organization to process near real-time ingestions and faster analytics."
"I appreciate the flexibility offered by Vertica's projections. It allows for modifying the primary projection without altering the tables, which helps to optimize queries without the need to modify the underlying data."
"The performance and scalability are awesome."
"It is an extremely scalable solution since you can dynamically change the resources as some other cloud solutions."
"It is a stable and scalable solution."
"The solution is used for analytics and it works for our data security needs."
"I really like the auto-tuning, auto-scaling, and the automatic load balancing and query tuning in the system."
"The product has self-repair features."
"One advantage is that if you already have an Oracle Database, it easily integrates with that."
"Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse is used globally to deliver extreme performance on large Financial data sets."
 

Cons

"If you do not utilize the tuning tools like projections, encoding, partitions, and statistics, then performance and scalability will suffer."
"I believe the installation process could be streamlined."
"They could improve the integration and some of the features in the cloud version."
"Monitoring tools need to be lightweight. They should not take up heavy resources of the main server."
"The product could improve by adding support for a wider variety of data types and enhancing features to better compete with other databases."
"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 integration with AI has room for improvement."
"Metadata for database files scale okay, but metadata related to tables/columns/sequences must be stored on all nodes."
"There is a need for more storage to be allocated, but over a period of time, it becomes impossible to reduce it after using it."
"Ease of connectivity could be improved."
"The solution lacks visibility options."
"I would like to see an on-premise solution in the future."
"An improvement for us would be the inclusion of support for an internal IP, so we could use it directly with the VCN in Oracle Cloud."
"It doesn't work well when you have unstructured data or you need online analytics. It is not as nice as Hadoop in these aspects."
"I would like to see Application Express and Oracle R Enterprise fully supported, and I would like to see Oracle Data Mining supported as a front end."
"The solution could be improved by allowing for migration tools from other cloud services, including migration from Amazon Redshift, RDS, and Aurora."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is relatively cost-effective."
"The pricing and licensing depend on the size of your environment and the zone where you want to implement."
"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."
"Vertica is an expensive tool."
"Read the fine print carefully."
"It's free up to three nodes and 1TB, and then get in contact with their sales guys."
"Vertica has a perpetual license, but they are currently trying to convert all those licenses to subscription-based licenses on a yearly basis."
"The pricing for this solution is very reasonable compared to other vendors."
"Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse's pricing is fair and reasonable compared to the other cloud vendors."
"The solution is expensive."
"We pay approximately $70,000 per month. The cost includes maintenance and support."
"In terms of architecture and pricing structure, I feel it is a little bit costly compared to Azure. It's fine compared to RedShift, but compared to Azure, it's a bit pricey when you calculate for one TB storage plus around five hours of reporting with the frequency of 1TB data. The cost adds up, making Oracle a bit expensive."
"The cost is perfect with Oracle Universal credit."
"ROI is high."
"The licensing cost of the product can vary since you can integrate it very easily with other products or other cloud products...You pay as you use it, so it is not yearly or monthly payments to be made toward Oracle."
"The solution's cost is reasonable."
