Is quick, easy to upgrade, and cost-effective
South Africa must significantly improve its internet infrastructure to reduce its high costs. I believe South Africa is one of the most expensive countries in the world when it comes to obtaining high-speed internet connections. We need to establish different service level agreements with clients to ensure we have backup lines and redundancy. The crucial question we need to ask ourselves is, how reliable do we want our internet connection to be? In the case of using cloud services, it's essential to have another line as a backup in case the primary one fails. In our situation, having a backup line is definitely necessary, but it also adds to the expenses. For a major bank like ours, relying on a single connection to the cloud is not feasible; we must have a second line in place to ensure uninterrupted service in case of any issues with the primary line. The cost of Teradata Cloud Data Warehouse has room for improvement.

Allows us to take volumes and process them at a very high speed
Primary use case is advanced analytics over huge amounts of data. Vertica provides high speed access to high volumes Previous to Vertica, some analysis could not be made because of the amount of data needed. Vertica allowed us to take those volumes and process them at a very high speed.…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is the ease of running queries."
"The cloud is ten times better than physical hardware; it is more cost-effective and the upgrade process is ten times easier."
"The product is reliable."
"Any novice user can tune vertical queries with minimal training (or no training at all)."
"It maximize cloud economics for mission-critical big data analytical initiatives."
"Vertica is easy to use and provides really high performance, stability, and scalability."
"I enjoy the cybersecurity and backup features."
"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."
"Integrated R and geospatial functions are helping us improve efficiency and explore new revenue streams. ​"
"Eighty percent of the ETL operations have improved since implementing this solution."
"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."
 

Cons

"Stability-wise, we have had some issues with automation and the ability to handle large datasets."
"It could be a bit more user-friendly."
"The cost of Teradata Cloud Data Warehouse has room for improvement."
"They could improve the integration and some of the features in the cloud version."
"Whatever's out, the core is not always as great as the engine, especially their first version."
"I have found that coding support could be simplified."
"When it is about to reach the maximum storage capacity, it becomes slow."
"In my opinion, Vertica's documentation could be improved. Currently, there is not enough documentation available to gain a comprehensive understanding of the platform."
"It should provide a GUI interface for data management and tuning."
"Metadata for database files scale okay, but metadata related to tables/columns/sequences must be stored on all nodes."
"Performance of management of metadata layer (database catalog) needs improvement. We still have to have smaller customers on PostgreSQL; Vertica cannot manage thousands of schemata."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Teradata used to be expensive, but they have been lowering their prices."
"The pricing and licensing depend on the size of your environment and the zone where you want to implement."
"The pricing for this solution is very reasonable compared to other vendors."
"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."
"It's an expensive product"
"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."
"Work with a vendor, if possible, and take advantage of more aggressive discounts at mid-fiscal year (April) and fiscal year-end (October).​"
"Read the fine print carefully."
"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."
