"Streamlining work flow with OpenText Vertica"
4/5
What do you like best about Rocket Vertica?

OpenText Vertica is flexible to do multiple tasks at a time and handles heavy loads of data processing with complex queries. The data lakes integrates multiple data sources enhancing the data analytics. The facility to add more clusters helps in handling huge tasks, better suits for large organizations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rocket Vertica?

Implementing and integrating OpenText Vertica is quite complex. It requires good level of knowledge to work on tasks. Expensive in maintaining the system infrastructure hence doesn't fit for small businesses. The training documents and customer support could have been better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Trish Schnupp of Rocket Vertica

Thanks so much for the review, Mandi! We appreciate your feedback!

"Vertica: Powerful analytics tool"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Rocket Vertica?

The vertica datawarehouse offers columnar store database structure capable of handling big data workloads unlike other traditional databases. This architecture coupled with other efficient parallel processing techniques allows for exceptional performance when resolving complex OLAP problems and rightly so that is their USP. This comes in handy especially when you deal with near real-time stream workloads usecases. Lastly, they have launched VerticaPylab which is a great addition for empowering ML based solutions Also, integration to reporting services such as Tableau are easy to implement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rocket Vertica?

In contrast to alternative tools in market, they have significantly smaller userbase and hence getting help from online community for issues can be challenging. After their acquisition from Micro Focus to Opentext, there have been few changes in layout in documentation as well as layout of UI, which creates additional learning curve. After a certain threshold (of datasize), the operational costs drastically increase which sometimes is not justifiable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A powerful Analytics Solution"
5/5
What do you like best about Rocket Vertica?

What I like best about it is that this platform offers a wide range of built-in analytical functions. It provides comprehensive security features. It is very easy to use and highly scalable. It is also known for its exceptional performance. It handles complex analytical queries on large datasets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rocket Vertica?

What I dislike about OpenText Vertica is that it can be high cost for large-scale deployments or organizations with extensive data needs. It is complex to set up and configure, especially for those users who are not familiar with columnar databases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Trish Schnupp of Rocket Vertica

Thanks so much for the review, Tripti! We greatly appreciate your feedback!

"OpenText Vertica review"
4/5
What do you like best about Rocket Vertica?

* Vertica is very fast. It works seamlessly with very large amounts of data, and it compresses the data very well.

* Vertica offers powerful built-in analytical tools for complex data analysis. I have used this tool for marketing analysis.

* It is very easy to scale; we needed to scale up the nodes, and it was done easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rocket Vertica?

* For those who are not familiar with terminal usage, its GUI feels outdated.

* Vertica struggles with petabyte-scale data, facing scalability challenges.

* It is a bit expensive for large data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A good analytical tool for big data analysis"
4/5
What do you like best about Rocket Vertica?

It is extremely fast compared to other databases, perhaps due to the columnar database structure. It can be deployed on almost all cloud platforms as well as on mainframes. The likelihood of multiple node failure is very low. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rocket Vertica?

The documentation is not comprehensive and could be improved. The SaaS solution is only available on AWS and not for Azure and GCP. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Analytics tool for Datalake"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Rocket Vertica?

On behalf of various data engineers I can say that opentext vertics is a solution for datawarehousing and running analysis on huge datasets with productivity and speed. All and all this comes up as a effective solution to quickly get results with respect to thousands of rows of data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rocket Vertica?

While it is suitable for your entire data (lake) this is a complex solution to analyze small data sets and the results might not be satisfactory. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
