We performed a comparison between Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse and Vertica based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Data Warehouse solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I loved the simplicity of loading the data and simply relying on the self-tuning capabilities of ADW."
"A very good integration feature that restricts access to unauthorized people."
"It is a stable and scalable solution."
"One advantage is that if you already have an Oracle Database, it easily integrates with that."
"The performance and scalability are awesome."
"It is an extremely scalable solution since you can dynamically change the resources as some other cloud solutions."
"It provides Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) capabilities by default to address data security issues."
"Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse is used globally to deliver extreme performance on large Financial data sets."
"For me, It's performance, scalability, low cost, and it's integrated into enterprise and big data environments."
"The most valuable feature of Vertica is the unmatchable database performance."
"DBAs don’t need to add a partition every month/quarter like with other DBs."
"Initiate on one node, and the RPM propagates automatically to all other nodes. "
"The product's initial setup phase is extremely simple."
"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."
"Vertica's most outstanding features are the compression rates achieved and the speed of access of high volume data."
"Any novice user can tune vertical queries with minimal training (or no training at all)."
"An improvement for us would be the inclusion of support for an internal IP, so we could use it directly with the VCN in Oracle Cloud."
"My main suggestion for Oracle is the configuration and key values that come for JSON files. When we create a table, especially if you see in our RedShift or some other stuff, if I create a table on top of a JSON file with multiple array columns or superset columns, those column values create some difficulty in Oracle."
"The initial setup was pretty complex. It was not easy."
"A lot of the tools that were previously there have now been taken away."
"It is very important the integration with other platforms be made to be as easy as it is with an on-premises deployment."
"I would like to see Application Express and Oracle R Enterprise fully supported, and I would like to see Oracle Data Mining supported as a front end."
"It doesn't work well when you have unstructured data or you need online analytics. It is not as nice as Hadoop in these aspects."
"I would like to see an on-premise solution in the future."
"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."
"Limitations in group by projections is where I would like to see an improvement."
"If you do not utilize the tuning tools like projections, encoding, partitions, and statistics, then performance and scalability will suffer."
"The integration with AI has room for improvement."
"Suboptimal projection design causes queries to not scale linearly."
"When it is about to reach the maximum storage capacity, it becomes slow."
"The documentation of Vertica is an area with shortcomings where improvements are required."
