Excellent reporting server that is compatible with MySQL
We ran into some quirks that Infobright had. We interacted with Infobright's support and were able to resolve them. There still are issues with data replication - Infobright is currently for one server (unless you buy the Infobright appliance). This would mean that redundancy is something you need to implement yourself.
T Venkatesh - PeerSpot reviewer
Processes query faster through multiple systems simultaneously, but it could support different data types

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It has very amazing smart grid query feature for very fast aggregate queries across millions of rows"
"Vertica is easy to use and provides really high performance, stability, and scalability."
"Vertica's most outstanding features are the compression rates achieved and the speed of access of high volume data."
"Vertica is a columnar database, this support our developments in analytics, advanced analytics, and ETL process with large sets of data."
"Vertica uses advanced Azure technologies to compress raw data using indexing, allowing a large amount of data to be stored with minimal physical space. Advanced algorithms are employed in data compression."
"Partition and join back to node are easy and simple for DBAs."
"The fast columnar store database structure allows our query times to be at least 10x faster than on any other database."
"I enjoy the cybersecurity and backup features."
"The product's initial setup phase is extremely simple."
 

Cons

"Only the data from the columns that reached 2GB will actually decrease. Other columns below 2GB in size do not leave the disk."
"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 product could improve by adding support for a wider variety of data types and enhancing features to better compete with other databases."
"Support is an area where it could get better."
"Monitoring tools need to be lightweight. They should not take up heavy resources of the main server."
"If you do not utilize the tuning tools like projections, encoding, partitions, and statistics, then performance and scalability will suffer."
"Whatever's out, the core is not always as great as the engine, especially their first version."
"It would be great if this were a managed service in AWS."
"One feature, which has really benefited us, is the scalability offered by Vertica as it has enabled Pythian's clients to manage data with agility."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our pricing was based on server instances and it was actually very cheap compared to Oracle. I guess you get what you pay for."
"The pricing and licensing depend on the size of your environment and the zone where you want to implement."
"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."
"Vertica has a perpetual license, but they are currently trying to convert all those licenses to subscription-based licenses on a yearly basis."
"The solution is relatively cost-effective."
"It's an expensive product"
"The price could be cheaper and it is best to negotiate the price."
"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."
"From a cost perspective, the software is less than most of its competitors."
