Processes query faster through multiple systems simultaneously, but it could support different data types
We use the solution for various tasks, including preparing data marts and generating offers. It helps extract data based on rules from the policy team and provides insights to enhance business operations. We also analyze transactions to target customers and improve business performance The…

The implementation is simple and only takes 15 to 30 minutes
NoSQL has high availability. I think it's perfect from a technical perspective. It's quick to run and go Oracle could improve how NoSQL works in containers. I don't think NoSQL needs any new features, but I want to see new features in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. I would like to see some…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Vertica gives knowledgeable users and DBAs excellent tools for tuning."
"It's the fastest database I have ever tested. That's the most important feature of Vertica."
"The feature I like best is performance. We use Red Tool and Red Job for the data warehouse and reporting. It's perfect. Performance is good, and it can return ad hoc queries very quickly. Of course, it's a cluster, so it's easy to scale."
"I appreciate the flexibility offered by Vertica's projections. It allows for modifying the primary projection without altering the tables, which helps to optimize queries without the need to modify the underlying data."
"Vertica's most outstanding features are the compression rates achieved and the speed of access of high volume data."
"The most valuable feature of Vertica is the unmatchable database performance."
"It has improved my organization's functionality and performance."
"Partition and join back to node are easy and simple for DBAs."
"The tool is easy to learn."
"We have a support agreement with Oracle, ensuring full support for the product. It is crucial for our public-facing features. Oracle NoSQL is easy to manage and has fast data retrieval. Its compatibility with Oracle Database is seamless, making integration between NoSQL and relational databases smooth and effortless. Oracle NoSQL and NoSQL data replication in our environment works efficiently. Oracle fully supports it, and we can easily configure and manage authentication for the NoSQL database."
"The product meets expectations when it comes to stability."
"Oracle NoSQL is pretty scalable."
"NoSQL has high availability. I think it's perfect from a technical perspective. It's quick to run and go."
 

Cons

"We are looking for a cheaper deployment for the solution. Although we did a lot of benchmarks, like Redshift. We tried Redshift, it didn't work. It didn't work out for us as well."
"Limitations in group by projections is where I would like to see an improvement."
"It would be great if this were a managed service in AWS."
"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."
"Fact-to-fact joins on multi-billion record tables perform poorly."
"Very bad support, I would rate it two out of 10."
"It should provide a GUI interface for data management and tuning."
"I have found that coding support could be simplified."
"Handling big data in a user-friendly way is currently a bit of an issue. The dashboard for this needs some work."
"The installation is difficult."
"Oracle could improve how NoSQL works in containers. I don't think NoSQL needs any new features, but I want to see new features in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. I would like to see some improvements in OCI's building options."
"I would rate Oracle NoSQL six or 6.5 out of ten based on my experience."
"Focusing on making the administration easier compared to other solutions like MongoDB could be beneficial. Simplifying the administrative tasks could enhance the user experience."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Read the fine print carefully."
"Work with a vendor, if possible, and take advantage of more aggressive discounts at mid-fiscal year (April) and fiscal year-end (October).​"
"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."
"The pricing could improve, it is a little expensive."
"The solution is free and we pay for the storage."
"Vertica is an expensive tool."
"The pricing for this solution is very reasonable compared to other vendors."
"The pricing and licensing depend on the size of your environment and the zone where you want to implement."
"The product is expensive and Oracle could work to lower the licensing cost."
