Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"For me, It's performance, scalability, low cost, and it's integrated into enterprise and big data environments.""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.""Eighty percent of the ETL operations have improved since implementing this solution.""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 solution is quick, has good compression data, and is not expensive.""The solution has great capabilities. The tool that instructs the internal database forward is easy to use and is very powerful.""The performance is very good and the aggregate records are fast.""Its analytics has enabled Pythian's clients to get the business insights as quick as they wanted. Its lower maintenance has also improved the ROI."

More Vertica Pros →

"It's super easy to deploy and it also supports different languages and analytics.""The solution's best feature is its exceptional speed, delivering efficient utilization of resources.""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.""After creating a RabbitMQ service, they provide you with a sort of web management dashboard.""The message routing is the most valuable feature. It is effective and flexible.""The product has been stable and I have never faced any kind of problems with it.""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.""It can be configured to be a very fast message broker. I like the stability, the built-in admin tools and plugin architecture."

Cons
"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.""I believe the installation process could be streamlined.""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.""If you do not utilize the tuning tools like projections, encoding, partitions, and statistics, then performance and scalability will suffer.""I have found that coding support could be simplified.""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 of this solution with ODI could be improved.""In a future release, we would like to have artificial intelligence capabilities like neural networks. Customers are demanding this type of analytics."

More Vertica Cons →

"The debugging capabilities and testing flexibilities need to be improved.""Implementing a circuit breaker scenario using RabbitMQ is complicated. This complexity arises because manual intervention is required to manage worker details and handle operations based on worker IP addresses.""I’d like this dashboard to use web sockets, so it would actually be in real time. It would slightly increase debugging, etc.""It will be very useful if we could communicate with other database types from Greenplum (using a database link).""It doesn't have any GUI-based monitoring tools.""VMware RabbitMQ needs to create a new queue system.""The user interface could be improved.""The solution needs improvement on performance."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Work with a vendor, if possible, and take advantage of more aggressive discounts at mid-fiscal year (April) and fiscal year-end (October).​"
  • "It's free up to three nodes and 1TB, and then get in contact with their sales guys."
  • "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."
  • "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."
  • "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."
  • "Read the fine print carefully."
  • "It is fast to purchase through the AWS Marketplace."
  • "The pricing and licensing depend on the size of your environment and the zone where you want to implement."
  • More Vertica Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The pricing is okay."
  • "It is the best product with best fit for price/performance customer objectives."
  • "Pricing is good compared to other products. It's fine."
  • "This is an open source solution."
  • "We are using the open-source version of this solution."
  • "are using the open-source version, which can be used free of cost."
  • "The pricing for RabbitMQ is reasonable. It is worth the cost."
  • "On a scale of one to five, with five being the most competitive pricing, I would rate this solution as a four."
