Data warehousing has transformed reporting performance and now delivers near real-time insights
OpenText Analytics Database (Vertica) is a very powerful analytic database, but like any platform, there are areas where it can improve to make daily work even smoother. Better cloud-native experience is one area for improvement. OpenText Analytics Database (Vertica) was originally designed as an on-premises analytic database and later moved to cloud. Improvement opportunities include more seamless cloud-native features such as auto-scaling, serverless options, and easier cluster management. Competitors such as Snowflake and BigQuery provide more fully managed experiences. Easier UI is another area for improvement. Most administration is currently done by SQL and command line tools. An improvement opportunity would be a more modern web UI for monitoring, workload management, and troubleshooting. Faster ecosystem and community growth is needed. In short, OpenText Analytics Database (Vertica) could improve in areas such as cloud-native capability, modern UI for administration, stronger real-time streaming integration, and growing its ecosystem and community. These enhancements would make it easier to manage and adopt compared to newer cloud-first analytic platforms. From a day-to-day operational perspective, there are a few areas where OpenText Analytics Database (Vertica) could improve to make our work smoother. Smarter automatic projection management is needed with more intelligence, auto projection creation, automatic optimization, and reduced manual testing with better workload management. Right now, monitoring queries often requires system tables and manual analysis. Troubleshooting slow queries takes time. A modern real-time dashboard showing query bottlenecks and resource users would enable quick detection. The impact could be faster issue resolution and less time spent debugging performance. Storage native interaction with modern data tools is also important. In short, from a day-to-day perspective, improvements in automatic projection optimization, better workload monitoring dashboard, easier schema evolution, and stronger modern tool integration would significantly reduce manual tuning effort and improve developer productivity. While OpenText Analytics Database (Vertica) is very powerful, these enhancements would make it more efficient for the analytics team.

Handles large data volumes effectively but connection issues require attention
The Oracle NoSQL solution is used primarily for storing data for our web applications. We work alongside the DBA team for this purpose, given that specific departments manage aspects of its use. We choose it specifically to handle large scales of data, such as in one of our bank customer's scenarios using more than nine hundred gigabytes of data.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I don't need any special hardware. I can use commodity hardware, which is nice to have in a commercial solution."
"The implementation itself is excellent with fantastic features, speed and scalability."
"Before we used Vertica we used another columnar database which turned out to be very unstable and its performance was inconsistent, Vertica turned that around, to the point that it is now our go-to database."
"Data Warehouse response times have decreased of one order of magnitude with respect to the previous solution (SQL Server + Oracle)."
"OpenText Analytics Database (Vertica) has impacted our organization positively because earlier we used to use Teradata, and it was very slow, creating issues with processing as well, and OpenText Analytics Database (Vertica) has helped us a lot in terms of processing capabilities and the speed of querying."
"Speed and resiliency are probably the best parts of this product."
"OpenText Analytics Database (Vertica) has improved our reporting performance by nearly 90 percent, reduced ETL processing time by more than half, and saved around 70 percent in storage through compression."
"Partition and join back to node are easy and simple for DBAs."
"The product meets expectations when it comes to stability."
"The tool is easy to learn."
"Oracle NoSQL is pretty scalable."
"So far, we find stability to be very reasonable, it is dependable and we do not have any big issues."
"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."
"Try it! You’ll be impressed."
"NoSQL has high availability; I think it's perfect from a technical perspective, and it's quick to run and go."
"The features I've found to be most valuable are the speed of reading and writing (read/write performance levels are really high), the transactions model (semantics for data manipulation), and just the overall simplicity of using it."
 

Cons

"Some GUI tools out of the box, better Python integration. I would love to see some nice query engine, tooled specifically to Vertica extensions of SQL (with IntelliSense)."
"It should provide a GUI interface for data management and tuning."
"In data streaming ROS containers is a pain to work with."
"Customer Service: It was a green field solution, and getting quick customer service was a challenge."
"The biggest problem is the cost of cloud deployment."
"Vertica can improve automation and documentation. Additionally, the solution can be simplified."
"Monitoring tools need to be lightweight. They should not take up heavy resources of the main server."
"Better feedback from installation. I would like to see more meaningful errors returned and more graceful handling of those."
"The main areas that need improvement with NoSQL are in the area of big data and user-friendly presentation."
"I would rate Oracle NoSQL six or 6.5 out of ten based on my experience."
"The installation is difficult."
"Personally, I’d like to see some improvements in the monitoring UI for it."
"You will get high performance when you organize your data correctly at the beginning. Otherwise, there are instability issues."
"Handling big data in a user-friendly way is currently a bit of an issue. The dashboard for this needs some work."
"We've had some issues with stability. During our testing, we were able to drop an entire database by writing huge amounts of data."
"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

"The solution is free and we pay for the storage."
"The price is reasonable. We use a pay per license model. Firstly, you need to buy a license. After that, you mainly pay the annual support fee of around 20% or 25%. I think their prices are quite reasonable."
"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."
"From a cost perspective, the software is less than most of its competitors."
"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 am aware that we have licensed it, but I have no knowledge of its cost."
"It is fast to purchase through the AWS Marketplace."
"Work with a vendor, if possible, and take advantage of more aggressive discounts at mid-fiscal year (April) and fiscal year-end (October).​"
"The product is expensive and Oracle could work to lower the licensing cost."
