Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable features for us are reliability and performance."
"The deployment of our solution across a number of servers using Ingres .NET has meant that we can protect the database server behind a highly secure firewall and deploy the front end solutions on a normal web server."
"Tanzu Greenplum's most valuable features include the integration of modern data science approaches across an MPP platform."
"With VMware Tanzu Greenplum, one can make a huge database table and analyze the queries by adding in the SQL command. Some hint or command for the query goes over the multi-parallel execution."
"We have been able to set up a messaging system that facilitates data integration between the software modules that we sell."
"The product is not complex."
"The product's reliability is the most valuable feature."
"The solution's technical support is good."
"It works very well with large database queries."
"Reliability for the messages is key. RabbitMQ ensures your messages are safe. They are not deleted and stuff."
 

Cons

"The ability to reset the log file without stopping the DBMS would be helpful for us."
"The seamless integration is a bit of an issue."
"I’d like this dashboard to use web sockets, so it would actually be in real time. It would slightly increase debugging, etc."
"Tanzu Greenplum's compression for GPText could be made more efficient."
"Extra filters would be helpful."
"Implementing a circuit breaker scenario using RabbitMQ is complicated. This complexity arises because manual intervention is required to manage worker details and handle operations based on worker IP addresses."
"This solution struggled with multi-regional synchronization."
"I saw some limitation with respect to the column store, and removing this would be an improvement."
"I was struggling with installing a few things. It would be good if was somewhat similar to RedHat. There should be more documentation regarding installation troubleshooting."
"The initial setup is somewhat complex and the out-of-the-box configuration requires optimization."
