Considered Both Products	OpenText Vertica Verified User Engineer Chose OpenText Vertica 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 Options for GUI clients are ugly and outdated.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 … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Administrator Chose OpenText Vertica We have been evaluating Greenplum comparing with Vertica. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Analyst Chose OpenText Vertica SAP HANA, Oracle, MySQL, and PostgreSQL are too heavyweight for achieving real-time latency requirements. Google BigQuery is limited to Cloud that makes hard to integrate with a large ingestion pipeline that may have both Cloud-based and on-prem components. Hadoop is much more … Incentivized Helpful? Eva Donaldson Business Intelligence Manager Chose OpenText Vertica MySQL and MS SQL Server are both fantastic RDBMS products. MS SQL Server goes a bit further since it has the builtin analytical functions. But it only scales so far. Once the data goes beyond capacity, getting results out just does not happen anymore. IBM Netezza and … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Analyst Chose OpenText Vertica Presto would be a good solution that would be less expensive and would also allow direct querying of all our data on Hadoop while maintaining good speed. Incentivized Helpful? Praveen Murugesan Engineering Manager - Ride Experience Chose OpenText Vertica Vertica is great for small low complex queries and has great query performance over the other technologies that I have worked with. Vertica fails to Hive wrt scalability and resource isolation, where Hive exploits Hadoop's resource isolation. Presto is almost comparable to … Incentivized Helpful? Traian Antonescu Big Data Technical Director Chose OpenText Vertica Vertica is much easier to manage; is just software (i.e. vs. Netezza), easier to scale and extend, with a very powerful query execution engine and storage layer. While other solutions (e.g. Greenplum) are just postgres clones that were extended to run at scale but still keep … Incentivized Helpful?

Likelihood to Recommend	OpenText 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.

Pros	OpenText 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. Incentivized Praveen Murugesan Engineering Manager - Ride Experience Read full review
Cons	OpenText 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. Incentivized Traian Antonescu Big Data Technical Director Read full review
Support Rating	OpenText 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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	OpenText 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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Return on Investment	OpenText Positive impact on ROI by being able to get customer insights in real-time. Positive ROI through reduced time to set-up and maintain Vertica instances. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
