Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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."

More Actian Ingres Pros →

"Very fast for query processing.""Scalability is simple because it's an MPP database. If you need more processing power or you need more storage, you just add a few more nodes in the cluster. It works on common commodity hardware. You can use any type of server. You don't need to have proprietary hardware. It's fairly flexible.""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.""Tanzu Greenplum's most valuable features include the integration of modern data science approaches across an MPP platform.""The loading speed is very good.""It's super easy to deploy and it also supports different languages and analytics.""It's one of the fastest databases in the market. It's easy to use. From a maintenance perspective it's a good product. The segmentation, or architecture of the product is different than other databases such as Oracle. So even in 10 years, the data distribution for such segments will not affect other segments. The query performance of the product, for complex queries, is very good. It has good integration with Hadoop.""Helps us to achieve large-scale analytics."

Cons
"The ability to reset the log file without stopping the DBMS would be helpful for us."

More Actian Ingres Cons →

"If you have a user consuming a huge load of resources, it takes down the entire system.""They should add more analytics. Their documentation could also be improved so that I don't have to bother my co-workers and tech support so often.""Tanzu Greenplum's compression for GPText could be made more efficient.""One of the disadvantages, not a disadvantage with the product itself, but overall, is the expertise in the marketplace. It's not easy to find a Greenplum administrator in the market, compared to other products such as Oracle.""We would like to see Greenplum maintain a closer relationship with and parity to features implemented in PostgreSQL.""Initial setup is a little complex. It took around two weeks to deploy.""They need to enhance integration with other Big Data products... to integrate with Big Data platforms, and to open a bi-directional connection between Greenplum and Big Data.""Lacks sufficient inbuilt machine-learning functions for complex use cases."
