The Vertica Analytics Platform supplies enterprise data warehouses with big data analytics capabilities and modernization. Vertica is owned and supported by OpenText.
We only evaluated but never implemented Vertica since apart from poor customer support we noticed that it also missed some data warehouse capabilities that would suit our needs.
Cloudera excels at seamless migrations and upgrades.
Cloudera supports self-healing and data center replacement of failed cloud instances while maintaining the state.
Cloudera is essential to increase or decrease capacity through the user interface or API.
Cloudera is great at simplifying big data analytics by providing the technology and tools needed to gain insights from IoT and connected devices to help monitor and condition our assets.
Cloudera's cybersecurity platform option offers stronger anomaly detection, visibility, and prevention, as well as faster behavioral analysis.
Cloudera is beneficial for enabling and utilizing the platform's machine learning and ad-hoc queries while securely storing, retrieving, and analyzing any volume of data at scale.
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.
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.
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.
I haven't had any recent opportunity to reach out to Vertica support. From what I remember, I believe whenever I reached out to them the experience was smooth.
Cloudera is compatible with Windows operating systems, and Mac allows cloud-based deployment, it is also very useful to configure data encryption, guarantee protocols, and security policies. It also provides integrated auditing and monitoring capabilities, as well as a control comprehensive data repository for the enterprise, and ensures vendor compatibility through its open-source architecture.
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.
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.
