Clustered columnstore index performance SQL Server 2014
If you can post the specific data and queries you are using, that is probably the only way we can help answer the question in the context of your specific case.  You can use a script that generates anonymous data in roughly the same scale as your real example.

However, I went ahead and created a similar type of script myself.  For the sake of simplicity, I am using fewer than 225 columns.  But I am using the same number of rows and random data (which is unfavorable for columnstore) and I saw results that are much different than yours.  So my initial thought is that yes, you do have some sort of problem with either your configuration or your test queries.

A few of the key takeaways:


Columnstore has dramatically faster performance than rowstore for simple aggregations across all rows in a column
If loaded carefully, columnstore can perform surprisingly well for singleton seeks.  There is an I/O hit, but with a warm cache performance was very good.  But not as good as rowstore for this use case, of course.
If you need to be able to perform both singleton seeks and large aggregation queries, you might consider using a non-clustered columnstore index on top of a standard b-tree table.
You mention that you have 225 columns, but an average row is just 181 bytes.  This seems a little unusual; is your table mostly BIT columns?  That might be something to look into further.  I did see very good compression ratios on a simple BIT column columnstore (over 99%), but it may be the case that much of that is due to the absence of row overhead and this advantage would disappear with many BIT columns on a single row.
If you want to learn (a lot) more about columnstore, Niko's 66-part (and counting) blog series has been the most valuable reference that I've come across.


And now on to the details:

Create rowstore data set

Nothing too exciting here; we create 40MM rows of pseudo-random data.

FROM E8
GO
ALTER TABLE test_row
ADD CONSTRAINT PK_test_row PRIMARY KEY (id)
GO


Create columnstore data set

Let's create the same data set as a CLUSTERED COLUMNSTORE, using the techniques described to load data for better segment elimination on Niko's blog.

-- Create a columnstore table with the same 40MM rows
-- The data is first ordered by id and then a single thread
-- use to build the columnstore for optimal segment elimination
SELECT *
INTO dbo.test_column
FROM dbo.test_row
GO
CREATE CLUSTERED INDEX cs_test_column
ON dbo.test_column (id)
GO
CREATE CLUSTERED COLUMNSTORE INDEX cs_test_column 
ON dbo.test_column WITH (DROP_EXISTING = ON, MAXDOP = 1)
GO


Size comparison

Because we are loading random data, columnstore achieves only a modest reduction in table size.  If the data was not as random, the columnstore compression would dramatically decrease the size of the columnstore index.  This particular test case is actually quite unfavorable for columnstore, but it's still nice to see that we get a little bit of compression.

-- Check the sizes of the two tables
SELECT t.name, ps.row_count, (ps.reserved_page_count*8.0) / (1024.0) AS sizeMb
FROM sys.tables t WITH (NOLOCK)
JOIN sys.dm_db_partition_stats ps WITH (NOLOCK)
    ON ps.object_id = t.object_id
WHERE t.name IN ('test_row','test_column')
--name          row_count   sizeMb
--test_row      40000000    2060.6328125
--test_column   40000000    1352.2734375
GO


Performance comparison

In the following two test cases, I try two very different use cases.

The first is the singleton seek mentioned in your question.  As commenters point out, this is not at all the use case for columnstore.  Because an entire segment has to be read for each column, we see a much greater number of reads and slower performance from a cold cache (0ms rowstore vs. 273ms columnstore).  However, columnstore is down to 2ms with a warm cache; that's actually quite an impressive result given that there is no b-tree to seek into!

In the second test, we compute an aggregate for two columns across all rows.  This is more along the lines of what columnstore is designed for, and we can see that columnstore has fewer reads (due to compression and not needing to access all columns) and dramatically faster performance (primarily due to batch mode execution).  From a cold cache, columnstore executes in 4s vs 15s for rowstore.  With a warm cache, the difference is a full order of magnitude at 282ms vs 2.8s.
