We performed a comparison between Amazon EMR and VMware Tanzu Greenplum based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Data Warehouse solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The project management is very streamlined."
"Amazon EMR is a good solution that can be used to manage big data."
"In Amazon EMR it is easy to rebuild anything, easy to upgrade and has good fault tolerance."
"The solution helps us manage huge volumes of data."
"The solution is pretty simple to set up."
"We are using applications, such as Splunk, Livy, Hadoop, and Spark. We are using all of these applications in Amazon EMR and they're helping us a lot."
"The solution is scalable."
"It allows users to access the data through a web interface."
"Helps us to achieve large-scale analytics."
"The loading speed is very good."
"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."
"Pivotal Greenplum's shared-nothing architecture."
"The most valuable feature for us is horizontal scaling."
"We chose Greenplum because of the architecture in terms of clustering databases and being able to have, or at least utilize the resources that are sitting on a database."
"A very good, open-source platform."
"Scalable (Massive) Parallel Processing (MPP) – The ability to bring to bear large amounts of compute against large data sets with Greenplum and the EMC DCA has proven itself to be very effective."
"There is no need to pay extra for third-party software."
"Amazon EMR can improve by adding some features, such as megastore services and HiveServer2. Additionally, the user interface could be better, similar to what Apache service provides, cross-platform services."
"Amazon EMR is continuously improving, but maybe something like CI/CD out-of-the-box or integration with Prometheus Grafana."
"There were times where they would release new versions and it seemed to end up breaking old versions, which is very strange."
"The most complicated thing is configuring to the cluster and ensure it's running correctly."
"The problem for us is it starts very slow."
"The product must add some of the latest technologies to provide more flexibility to the users."
"As people are shifting from legacy solutions to other technologies, Amazon EMR needs to add more features that give more flexibility in managing user data."
"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."
"We would like to see Greenplum maintain a closer relationship with and parity to features implemented in PostgreSQL."
"Extra filters would be helpful."
"they need to interact more with customers. They need to explain the features, especially when there are new releases of Greenplum. I know just from information I've found that it has other features, it can be used to for analytics, for integration with Big Data, Hadoop. They need to focus on this part with the customer."
"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."
"Some integration with other platforms like design tools, and ETL development tools, that will enable some advanced functionality, like fully down processing, etc."
"It will be very useful if we could communicate with other database types from Greenplum (using a database link)."
