To be a user it is easy because all you need to know is SQL.
To admin is also easy with a friendly GUI called Management Console.
Vertica Index called Projection can be easily created automatically via a provided tool called Database Designer. 
In addition, in most cases when you define a column sort order in the CREATE TABLE statement, the default projection is good enough, so you don't need to create any index manually.
