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 solution has great capabilities. The tool that instructs the internal database forward is easy to use and is very powerful."
"Eighty percent of the ETL operations have improved since implementing this solution."
"Its projections and encoding are excellent tools for tuning large volumes."
"The feature of the product that is most important is the speed. I needed a columnar database, and its speed is what it's built to do, and so that's what really does differentiate Vertica from its competitors."
"We are able to integrate our Vertica data warehouse with Tableau to create numerous reports quickly and efficiently."
"Partition and join back to node are easy and simple for DBAs."
"It has improved my organization's functionality and performance."
"Vertica is a columnar database, this support our developments in analytics, advanced analytics, and ETL process with large sets of data."
"The solution has a powerful aggregating feature"
"You can create your own rules that include mathematic calculations."
"The solution's best feature is its exceptional speed, delivering efficient utilization of resources."
"Large amounts of data can be moved pretty fast using the solution."
"The parallel load features mean that Greenplum is capable of high-volume data loading in parallel to all of the cluster segments, which is really valuable."
"We use VMware RabbitMQ to transfer information from one point to another."
"Some of the most valuable features are publish and subscribe, fanout, and queues."
"The most valuable feature for me is that it is open source. The licensing costs are really low and they are transparent."
"It's one of the fastest databases in the market. It's easy to use. From a maintenance perspective it's a good product. The segmentation, or architecture of the product is different than other databases such as Oracle. So even in 10 years, the data distribution for such segments will not affect other segments. The query performance of the product, for complex queries, is very good. It has good integration with Hadoop."
"It can be configured to be a very fast message broker. I like the stability, the built-in admin tools and plugin architecture."
 

Cons

"Monitoring tools need to be lightweight. They should not take up heavy resources of the main server."
"Fact-to-fact joins on multi-billion record tables perform poorly."
"I believe the installation process could be streamlined."
"Whatever's out, the core is not always as great as the engine, especially their first version."
"In my opinion, Vertica's documentation could be improved. Currently, there is not enough documentation available to gain a comprehensive understanding of the platform."
"I would personally like to see extended developer tooling suited to Vertica – think published PowerDesigner SQL dialect support."
"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."
"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."
"The solution's setup could be quicker and easier."
"Improvements need to be made on the load balancing side."
"There are some security concerns that have been raised with this product."
"The debugging capabilities and testing flexibilities need to be improved."
"I’d like this dashboard to use web sockets, so it would actually be in real time. It would slightly increase debugging, etc."
"I saw some limitation with respect to the column store, and removing this would be an improvement."
"The product needs to focus on offering more use case documentation because browsing the internet to find it can be a process filled with struggles."
"The solution needs improvement on performance."
"Maintenance is time-consuming."
"If you have a user consuming a huge load of resources, it takes down the entire system."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I am aware that we have licensed it, but I have no knowledge of its cost."
"Vertica is an expensive tool."
"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 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."
"Work with a vendor, if possible, and take advantage of more aggressive discounts at mid-fiscal year (April) and fiscal year-end (October).​"
"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."
"It's free up to three nodes and 1TB, and then get in contact with their sales guys."
"The price could be cheaper and it is best to negotiate the price."
"The solution might be considered a bit expensive because it competes with open-source products."
"The pricing for RabbitMQ is reasonable. It is worth the cost."
"We are using the open-source version of this solution."
"This is an open source solution."
"On a scale of one to five, with five being the most competitive pricing, I would rate this solution as a four."
"Since the tool is an open-source product, there is no need to pay anything."
"The product is available for free use since it is an open-source technology."
"It is an open-source platform. Although, we have to pay for additional features."
"The solution's pricing is cost-effective as it does not involve significant expenses. Licensing is required only for the server, while clients do not need any licensing. Therefore, it proves to be a cost-efficient option."
