The stability needs work and the leader node should be removed, but we can deliver results faster.

MySQL DBA at a financial services firm with 51-200 employees

Excellent reporting server that is compatible with MySQL

We ran into some quirks that Infobright had. We interacted with Infobright's support and were able to resolve them. There still are issues with data replication - Infobright is currently for one server (unless you buy the Infobright appliance). This would mean that redundancy is something you need to implement yourself.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It has delivered results to our customers faster than we were able to previously."

"We now have multiple times faster queries in comparison to MS SQL."

"Infobright allowed us to reduce the number of moving parts and complexity that we had while providing good performance to produce our reports."

"It has very amazing smart grid query feature for very fast aggregate queries across millions of rows"

"The performance of ad hoc aggregation queries is superior to any RDBMS that I have used and I have used them all."

"It is very straightforward and easy to work with."

"ICE helped us improve the speed for the “group-by” query by 10x."

"A valuable feature was the use of a columnar database for large, ever-growing, big datasets."

"Infobright gave us the ability to avoid significant changes in our data structure and just use Infobright like BigDataMySql."

More Infobright DB pros

Cons

"The stability needs work."

"After all the re-work to our product to remove as much reliance on Infobright, and the extra hardware costs we had to absorb, there was definitely a negative return on investment."

"We didn’t purchase the Enterprise Edition because it was too expensive for a product that wasn’t going to replace our main DWH database (Oracle), but was, somehow, only an addition for it."

"On the contrary, we have switched back to the MS SSAS Tabular Model, because of pricing policy."

"Only the data from the columns that reached 2GB will actually decrease. Other columns below 2GB in size do not leave the disk."

"There still are issues with data replication - Infobright is currently for one server (unless you buy the Infobright appliance)."

"When running a complex subquery, the system hangs without giving the user any response."

"There was no scalability at all. Infobright didn't permit any changes in tables."

"MPP, distributed processing!!! And better integration with Hadoop."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"Our pricing was based on server instances and it was actually very cheap compared to Oracle. I guess you get what you pay for."
