Thank you for the answers, Umur. I've used both Vertica and ParAccel in production environments for the traditional Data Warehousing projects and have come to appreciate both good and the bad that analytic RDBMS engines bring to the table.

Currently, my favorite is Vertica, but I do have concerns about its future under the stewardship of HPE.

I'm quite interested in what Citus brings to the market and will be following its progress closely. Once you have a more rounded story for the traditional Data Warehousing purposes, I can recommend it to my clients for evaluation purposes.

In terms of a sweet spot for you, here's a free tip for your sales: target customers of Unica (well, IBM Unica now). That's one application that would definitely benefit from your Operational Analytics positioning - lots of data ingested throughout the day, lots of queries to run for the analytics.

"Currently, my favorite is Vertica, but I do have concerns about its future under the stewardship of HPE." HPE employee here (Not a vertica team member, though) Many teams within HP are very excited to use Vertica. Many more teams are looking to use Vertica for our own product offerings. There's no reason, in the short term, for HPE to shift away from Vertica. On the other hand, I'd say that HPE will invest more into Vertica.
