PG Pranshu G. Software Developer Information Technology and Services Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 1/26/2024 "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.

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 aquisition from Micro focus to Opentext, there has 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 increases which sometimes is not justifiable Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The goal was to explore the capabilties of datawarehouse and finds its place in the big list of other established datawarehouse solutions in the market Specifically for catering the reporting dashboard department and its data requirements.
