The pricing for OpenText Analytics Database (Vertica) is somewhat on the higher side for the license. Beyond that, the support from the OpenText Analytics Database (Vertica) team was very streamlined and excellent. We upgraded the OpenText Analytics Database (Vertica) cluster multiple times, and we always had a person supporting us from the OpenText Analytics Database (Vertica) team, so my experience was really strong.

The pricing depends on the license model because there are several. It depends on the client, but it's cheaper than other solutions. I think it's cheap for all the functionality and robustness. It's not very expensive to deploy.

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 price varies completely. Cost information is available publically where you can compare with other solutions. From a cost perspective, the software is less than most of its competitors. Customers save money by a smaller hardware footprint, fewer nodes, less storage, lower-cost storage, and no appliances. So it is typically a lot less money than an Oracle, Teradata, or Snowflake. Overall, they are highly competitive when it comes to pricing.
