Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We are also opening new areas of business and potential new revenue streams using Vertica's analytic functions, most notably geospatial, where we are able to run billions of comparisons of lat/long point locations against polygon and point/radius locations in seconds. ​"
"For me, It's performance, scalability, low cost, and it's integrated into enterprise and big data environments."
"The solution was executed quite quickly due to its columnar storage underground, which is the most valuable feature of our company"
"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 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."
"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 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."
"I don't need any special hardware. I can use commodity hardware, which is nice to have in a commercial solution."
"It is a stable and scalable solution."
"The solution is used for analytics and it works for our data security needs."
"The solution is used for analytics and it works for our data security needs."
"The analytics have been very good. We've found them to be quite useful."
"Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse is used globally to deliver extreme performance on large Financial data sets."
"The product has self-repair features."
"I really like the auto-tuning, auto-scaling, and the automatic load balancing and query tuning in the system."
"The performance and scalability are awesome."
 

Cons

"It needs integration with multiple clouds."
"The integration of this solution with ODI could be improved."
"Pricing could be more competitive."
"I believe the installation process could be streamlined."
"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."
"Promotion/marketing must be improved, even though it is a very useful product at very good price, it is not as "popular" as it should be."
"Support is an area where it could get better."
"Fact-to-fact joins on multi-billion record tables perform poorly."
"We are not satisfied with the technical support. Their understanding is lacking."
"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 an on-premise solution in the future."
"A lot of the tools that were previously there have now been taken away."
"The solution lacks visibility options."
"One of the major problem is creating custom tablespace. The ADB serverless option doesn't support custom tablespace creation, which could cause issues during on-premise database migration that requires specifically named tablespace. There should be an option to create customized tablespace."
"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 setup is complex."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Vertica is an expensive tool."
"It's free up to three nodes and 1TB, and then get in contact with their sales guys."
"The pricing could improve, it is a little expensive."
"The solution is free and we pay for the storage."
"It is fast to purchase through the AWS Marketplace."
"The price could be cheaper and it is best to negotiate the price."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"We pay approximately $70,000 per month. The cost includes maintenance and support."
"Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse's pricing is fair and reasonable compared to the other cloud vendors."
"You pay as you go, and you don't pay for services that you don't use."
"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."
"The solution is expensive."
"The price depends on the configuration we choose."
