Scalable, high-speed database on commodity hardware
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to grow a database in either compute or storage with commodity hardware is very valuable. No other database comes to mind for speed of inserts or selects at this scale.
What do you dislike about the product?
The documentation has improved over the years but there is less information than some competitors. There aren't as many users of this database products compared to others so the community is somewhat lacking.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vertica solves the problem of storing petabytes worth of data while actually being able to join across datasets in a timely manner. This allows for discoveries that couldn't be made otherwise.
Vertica enables Cerner's Big Data Analytics
What do you like best about the product?
We are inserting 1B rows per hour now. This data is easily consumed by a mixed mode of users. It has enabled Cerner to conduct deep analytics across all of our technical stacks resulting in reduced client incidents.
What do you dislike about the product?
Hard to perform backups. If user pools are not continuously evaluated and monitored, large queries can bring the database to its knees. Still have not perfected a single node out situation. A single node out has put us into a downtime.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Full analytics and visibility across our technical platforms. We have been able to do predictive fingerprinting and monitoring/auditing off of our data. We have approximately 1.1 PB of operational data used across multiple organizations.
