    IBM watsonx.data is well suited for use cases were you have to combine various data sources to build a lakehouse. It provides a secure framework to gather data and provide access to it to build ML/AI models. It allows users to focus on prompts and business logic than spend time on data engineering.

    Vertica as a data warehouse to deliver analytics in-house and even to your client base on scale is not rivaled anywhere in the market. Frankly, in my experience it is not even close to equaled. Because it is such a powerful data warehouse, some people attempt to use it as a transactional database. It certainly is not one of those. Individual row inserts are slow and do not perform well. Deletes are a whole other story. RDBMS it is definitely not. OLAP it rocks.

    Pros
    IBM
    • It doesn't just store data but unlocks potential. I am able to analyse a vast amount of information, identify trends, and predict future outcomes.
    • It not only gives me high quality but accessible data as well. It handles missing values, outliers and feature engineering with case.

    • Extremely fast query performance - Vertica is one of the fastest query engines out there.
    • Scales to TBs - Scales reasonably well up to 10-20 nodes and 10 - 100s of TB of data.
    • Easy to Use - Fairly easy to user, we made quite some headway with just 1 person running it for a while.

    Cons
    IBM
    • The UI can be slow to respond at times (just like many cloud services thought)
    • Semantic automation is still in beta and has no Japanese support yet
    • Loading data to the platform can be slow at times

    • Could use some work on better integrating with cloud providers and open source technologies. For AWS you will find an AMI in the marketplace and recently a connector for loading data from S3 directly was created. With last release, integration with Kafka was added that can help.
    • Managing large workloads (concurrent queries) is a bit challenging.
    • Having a way to provide an estimate on the duration for currently executing queries / etc. can be helpful. Vertica provides some counters for the query execution engine that are helpful but some may find confusing.
    • Unloading data over JDBC is very slow. We've had to come up with alternatives based on vsql, etc. Not a very clean, official on how to unload data.

    Usability
    IBM
    I can give it 10/10 due to its impact in data analysis management. This is the right software for driving business insights and enhancing effective decision making. The infrastructure has the formal tools for preparing data before using it to make critical decisions. The NLP has enhanced standard analysis of unstructured data from social media websites.

    I haven't had any recent opportunity to reach out to Vertica support. From what I remember, I believe whenever I reached out to them the experience was smooth.

    Vertica performs well when the query has good stats and is tuned well. Options for GUI clients are ugly and outdated. IO optimized: it's a columnar store with no indexing structures to maintain like traditional databases. The indexing is achieved by storing the data sorted on disk, which itself is run transparently as a background process.

    Return on Investment
    IBM
    • for one automation project, we managed to cut cloud storage costs by a third through IBM watsonx.data's lakehouse optimization
    • data integration projects have had a 20 % reduction in turnaround times. Can only imagine how that will improve with the Claude partnership
