Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The ease of deployment is useful so clients are up and running quickly in comparison to other products.""It's stable and reliable.""The most valuable feature is the ease of uploading data from multiple sources."

"Provides good security and reliability.""The standout feature of IBM Db2 Warehouse, which is particularly valuable for large enterprises, is its ability to handle big data.""It can be mounted on the cloud, which is a huge plus. If the client, for example, starts small with on-premise deployment and then it rapidly needs to grow, we can transfer this to the cloud easily.""Some of the best features are stored procedures, parallelism, and different indexing strategies.""I think it scales really well and as long as you take enough time to learn a little bit about it, it works really well.""The analytics engine is not bad at forecasting predictions."

Cons
"From my perspective, it would be good if they gave better ITIN/R plugins to use the data for AI modeling, or data science modeling. We can do it now; however, it could be more elegant in terms of interfacing.""There are some ways that the handling of unstructured data could be improved.""It is hard for some of our users to set up rules for cleansing and transforming data, so this is something that could be improved."

More Aster Data Map Reduce Cons →

"The biggest problems we have is when the backup solution is failing or slow and we run out of log space, which has happened probably a couple of times in the last four years.""The areas of the solution that is needing the most improvement are separating compute from storage, elasticity, which means scaling up and then retracting.""Lacks sufficient documentation and particularly in Spanish.""In terms of improvement, IBM Db2 Warehouse should be more scalable.""There should be more material available for training and training should be free.""IBM Db2 Warehouse needs to improve its interface.""The biggest challenge anyone could have with Db2 Warehouse is their references or online resources and documentation. They are very, very, very limited on the web."

    Overview

    SQL-MapReduce is a framework created by Teradata Aster to allow developers to write powerful and highly expressive SQL-MapReduce functions in languages such as Java, C#, Python, C++, and R and push them into the discovery platform for high performance analytics. Analysts can then invoke SQL-MapReduce functions using standard SQL or R through Aster Database, the first discovery platform that allows applications to be fully embedded within the database engine to enable ultra-fast, deep analysis of massive data sets.

    InfoSphere Warehouse is a suite of products that combines the strength of DB2 with a data warehousing infrastructure from IBM. You can use InfoSphere Warehouse to build a complete data warehousing solution that includes a highly scalable relational database, data access capabilities, and front-end analysis tools.
