Review on Vertica Technology
What do you like best about the product?
The best about Vertica is it has 99.99% availability and 100% consistency. It has got powerful tools like Vertica Backup and Restore utility which helps recover single table or schema or cluster from past backup images. The most admirable is its K Safe Feature due to which it helps maintain the consistency among the nodes. If a node goes down it does automatic sync as well. It also has Database Designer which will help you tune your SQLs and suggest optimized projections. To add icing to the case it has management console its GUI interface as well which helps you monitor multiple clusters using the same GUI . It has got nice online support as well in case of issues.
The incidents of cluster down specifically to the projects I support had gone down 100% . If one node goes down still due to Ksafe feature your entire cluster remains up and available to the business. Over all on personal grounds a very reliable and useful products that any Organization can rely on.
Note : This is my genuine personal opinion only for the product I have worked hence the candid feedback.

What do you dislike about the product?
About its upgrade path and just supporting 1 release backward compatibility if you upgrade your cluster.
Also cross environment restores for the cluster having different names but same nodes restores should be made possible that are having different names. So entire snap can be restored.

It's Columnar and It's Analytical functions.
What do you dislike about the product?
I Hate to manage it at Projection level.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am managing a DWH and analytical reports on DWH. It has very good speed and beautiful data management functions.
From dark data into the ligh
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of deployment and maintenance. Database performance on terabytes of data right out of the box.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would have been nice if we could have integrated with our LDAP environment. Permissions on DDL functions were difficult to hand out as those were locked to the DB owner.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The data was too large to be able to have any real insights into. We tried other columnar data stores and HDFS sorts of stores. With those we spent a lot of time trying to get data with no results. We stood up Vertica and all our data was available, clustered, highly available. We were able to gain insights within moments and continue to grow that.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it! Get the free trial. It is worth it.
Blazing speed Big Data on Commodity hardware
What do you like best about the product?
Rapid responses, ability to handle large volumes of data, scalable and works on commodity hardware
What do you dislike about the product?
Not ideal for high velocity transactions
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Analytics solutions to Physician and Payer organizations. No need for a full time DBA to support a Big Data solution.
Vertica is the most obvious choice for on-premise data warehousing
What do you like best about the product?
We've tested and tested and benchmarked and benchmarked and every time Vertica comes out ahead against competing technologies (OSS or proprietary) in terms of raw throughput and concurrency handling. We've even seen it rival highly optimized in-memory analytics engines for latency under certain scenarios. This makes it the obvious choice for us for any sort of general OLAP or dashboarding task.
What do you dislike about the product?
We tend to push Vertica pretty hard and have a tendency to automate everything (we use chef for provisioning), which means we have had to write our own tools or adapt Verticas' to our purposes fairly substantially. This is no deal breaker, but it would be nice if they invested more time in the admin UX.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vertica is our core analytic database offering and as such is central part of the compute fabric. The fact that it is so efficient and flexible in this regard means that we leverage it behind many applications, limiting tech sprawl and allowing us to go to market faster and with fewer support staff.
