Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It helps us to reduce hardware costs and to optimize processing times."

"The reports generated and the old statistics shown are really helpful."

"It is very stable. We have had no issues."

"Improved monitoring and performance management."

"The most important features are batch reporting and the ability to create repositories, enabling automated analysis. These are valuable because they enable me to do automated analysis of trends over time and reduce the time for comparing performance between two periods to identify anomalies."

"It takes advantage of new features of DB2."

"The loading speed is very good."

"After creating a RabbitMQ service, they provide you with a sort of web management dashboard."

"Companies can scale the solution, so long as they have server room."

"Some of the most valuable features are publish and subscribe, fanout, and queues."

"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."

"RabbitMQ will help to remove a lot of the complexities and create a loosely coupled codebase."

"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."

"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."

Cons

"They need to provide a way to create and maintain performance repositories. The online tool is not perfect, but it is giving me what I need."

"Minor stability issues."

"In the case of any particular SQL which is executing for a longer time and causing issues with any particular store or DB2 programs, if it could pinpoint the problems like any other tool should do, that would be really helpful."

"All the information we need, we could use to have it in a more usable format."

"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."

"The debugging capabilities and testing flexibilities need to be improved."

"There are some security concerns that have been raised with this product."

"It doesn't have any GUI-based monitoring tools."

"The solution needs improvement on performance."

"The product needs to focus on offering more use case documentation because browsing the internet to find it can be a process filled with struggles."

"Tanzu Greenplum's compression for GPText could be made more efficient."

"Scalability issues are present. Most of our functions or jobs are queued due to that."
