Vertica as a data warehouse to deliver analytics in-house and even to your client base on scale is not rivaled anywhere in the market. Frankly, in my experience it is not even close to equaled. Because it is such a powerful data warehouse, some people attempt to use it as a transactional database. It certainly is not one of those. Individual row inserts are slow and do not perform well. Deletes are a whole other story. RDBMS it is definitely not. OLAP it rocks.

Extremely fast query performance - Vertica is one of the fastest query engines out there.
Scales to TBs - Scales reasonably well up to 10-20 nodes and 10 - 100s of TB of data.
Easy to Use - Fairly easy to user, we made quite some headway with just 1 person running it for a while.

Cons

Not fully Open Source, couple of components of the distributions are privately owned, meaning with public contributions are not welcome
Improvements to Cloudera manager can only be recommended. its very hard to get it done once recommended as the full control is with them.
Should make components more aligned to Open Source rather than making it closed sourced.
Custom Features of open source software tools supported only by Cloudera are tricky. Cant commit changes to tools like Hue.
Improvements to Cluster Management tool is required, which are already available to its competitors.

Could use some work on better integrating with cloud providers and open source technologies. For AWS you will find an AMI in the marketplace and recently a connector for loading data from S3 directly was created. With last release, integration with Kafka was added that can help.
Managing large workloads (concurrent queries) is a bit challenging.
Having a way to provide an estimate on the duration for currently executing queries / etc. can be helpful. Vertica provides some counters for the query execution engine that are helpful but some may find confusing.
Unloading data over JDBC is very slow. We've had to come up with alternatives based on vsql, etc. Not a very clean, official on how to unload data.

Likelihood to Renew

Cloudera Enterprise Data Hub 8.2

Based on 7 answers

Likely to renew the use in case the requirements for Cloudera remain valid. The rapid change in customer requirements and solutions that must be validated, integrated or tested changes. As the maturity of the solution increases, the requirements to renew use decrease. From a solution feature perspective by itself would probably grade 10.

Vertica performs well when the query has good stats and is tuned well. Options for GUI clients are ugly and outdated. IO optimized: it's a columnar store with no indexing structures to maintain like traditional databases. The indexing is achieved by storing the data sorted on disk, which itself is run transparently as a background process.

Return on Investment

Cloudera products are the most widely. It is more business friendly as data is more secure. The sensitive data that you operate on is local to you and your project rather than processing this data on Cloud.
Cloudera is definitely faster as wait time is reduced if on Cloud.
A lot range of products are covered. So it is definitely good for businesses and had good returns on investments.
