Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable feature is the ease of uploading data from multiple sources.""It's stable and reliable.""The ease of deployment is useful so clients are up and running quickly in comparison to other products."

More Aster Data Map Reduce Pros →

"Any novice user can tune vertical queries with minimal training (or no training at all).""Vertica enabled us to close large deals. Customers with large data sets had to be migrated from PostgreSQL to Vertica due to performance.""The performance is very good and the aggregate records are fast.""Allows us to take volumes and process them at a very high speed.""I enjoy the cybersecurity and backup features.""We are able to integrate our Vertica data warehouse with Tableau to create numerous reports quickly and efficiently.""The most valuable feature of Vertica is the unmatchable database performance.""Eighty percent of the ETL operations have improved since implementing this solution."

Cons
"It is hard for some of our users to set up rules for cleansing and transforming data, so this is something that could be improved.""From my perspective, it would be good if they gave better ITIN/R plugins to use the data for AI modeling, or data science modeling. We can do it now; however, it could be more elegant in terms of interfacing.""There are some ways that the handling of unstructured data could be improved."

More Aster Data Map Reduce Cons →

"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.""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.""Vertica can improve automation and documentation. Additionally, the solution can be simplified.""Very bad support, I would rate it two out of 10.""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.""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.""The integration of this solution with ODI could be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The product cost is high for what the client gets. There may be more cost-effective solutions for small and medium-sized organizations."
  • More Aster Data Map Reduce 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."

    Overview

    SQL-MapReduce is a framework created by Teradata Aster to allow developers to write powerful and highly expressive SQL-MapReduce functions in languages such as Java, C#, Python, C++, and R and push them into the discovery platform for high performance analytics. Analysts can then invoke SQL-MapReduce functions using standard SQL or R through Aster Database, the first discovery platform that allows applications to be fully embedded within the database engine to enable ultra-fast, deep analysis of massive data sets.

    Vertica is a deploy-anywhere SQL database created for elasticity, speed, and advanced analytics. Vertica enables today’s busy teams to modernize their data warehouses, democratize data and analytics to enable increased access, and deploy analytics in a hybrid cloud environment. Additionally, Vertica merges how companies power their analytics by providing a scalable, open, and elastic database with numerous intuitive features.

    In today’s marketplace, organizations are experiencing continued robust growth of data volumes, and citizen data scientists’ broader use of analytics is causing many companies to re-visit and re-examine their systems in order to match the demands of an aggressive marketplace. Analytics are continually swiftly evolving. New data from social media, blogs, IoT sources, data streams, gas and electrical grids, and mobile networks is being constantly gathered in extensive data sets. This presents organizations with a new opportunity to become more data driven, and they must be able to manage the new data growth and identify the trends and sequences that can lead to both improved business opportunities and continued repeat business from their clients.
