What do you like best about Rocket Vertica?

Vertica is versatile since it supports both on-premises and cloud infrastructure. Besides, it allows engineers to see how query would be on executed and to optimize it both manually and automatically. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rocket Vertica?

There are standard SQL functions which Vertica has not supported yet. For instance, pivot, except, unnest, array_agg functions is not provided, causing various issues when migrating from another system like BigQuery. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Rocket Vertica?

Performance.

We can process millions of records and the aggregation operation is also super fast.

Also, the insert operation is not taking that much time. The usage of CTEs which actually her stands in analogous to temp table operation is also very useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rocket Vertica?

A native development environment and absence of parameters and absence of stored procedures. It would be better if you could provide all these and along with some profiler service.

Plus the performance is very poor if we use UNION ALL operation that too with the same data set. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Paige Roberts of Rocket Vertica

Thanks so much for taking the time to write a review. We really appreciate it.

As an FYI, I'm not sure what version you're using, but the latest versions have stored procedures. They're pretty basic for the moment, but getting more feature rich all the time.

You might also look at flattened tables as an option if you need a UNION ALL, but need it to be more performant. Not sure if it will help, but worth a look: https://www.vertica.com/docs/latest/HTML/Content/Authoring/AnalyzingData/FlattenedTables/FlattenedTables.htm

Good luck with your work!

"I have worked for more than 4 years in ETL and data warehousing using Teradata and vertica"
5/5
What do you like best about Rocket Vertica?

There is no need to create data structures again. It enables to integrate millions of rows to be delivered in real time basis.It also provides advanced analytics features that are not there in Teradata or other platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rocket Vertica?

I think vertica should be flexible with cloud providers like Azure, AWS and Google Cloud Platform like Snowflake does. The storage cost and query execution should be more secure using service accounts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Paige Roberts of Rocket Vertica

Thank you for the outstanding review!

Just FYI, Vertica is available on all the major clouds, Azure, AWS, Google and Alibaba. If you're using the SaaS version, Vertica Accelerator, it is only available on Amazon for now, but stay tuned. We're expanding to the other clouds asap.

Thanks again for the great review.

Product documentation and learning platform for developers and consultants can be improved so that people who want to learn Vertica can find it easy. Certification offerings to validate consultant knowledge would also help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The massive parallel processing power of vertica to handle big data is very amazing when compared to other database. It supports on premise Hadoop and other multi cloud. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rocket Vertica?

The integration of Vertica with industry leading BI platform is not straight forward. It will be good if there is a common standard connection component to achieve the same. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Constantly improving And adapting"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Rocket Vertica?

One thing that stood out is the ease of use and having my data accessible and being able to integrate various tools like Tableau Server to help visualize and analyze the data with ease. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rocket Vertica?

I was bothered by the fact that I'm not able to migrate the data from one cluster to another as whole schemas instead of exporting the data into an S3 bucket using select statements and then importing that data into the destination cluster which caused multiple issues with some timestamp values in some tables, But I managed to work around this issue by changing the Data partitioning mode to node partitioning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Paige Roberts of Rocket Vertica

Thank you for taking the time to review!

We're certainly doing our best to constantly improve.

I'll pass on your comments on cluster to cluster data transfer difficulty to our engineers.

Thanks again,
