I basically use the solution for database management and to view the performance of a particular database object, any specific program, batch program, or online programs. Using the CSSZ tool, I can effectively monitor performance. In case of an exception, I can inform the application team. At DB2…

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 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 is very stable. We have had no issues."

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

"It takes advantage of new features of DB2."

"Improved monitoring and performance management."

"We have been able to set up a messaging system that facilitates data integration between the software modules that we sell."

"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."

"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."

"The message routing is the most valuable feature. It is effective and flexible."

"The most valuable feature for me is that it is open source. The licensing costs are really low and they are transparent."

"The product is not complex; I do not have to create stored procedures, functions, or views."

"The solution's technical support is good."

Cons

"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."

"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."

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

"Minor stability issues."

"When you have complex tasks, RabbitMQ is hard to use."

"We would like to see Greenplum maintain a closer relationship with and parity to features implemented in PostgreSQL."

"The installation is difficult and should be made easier."

"This solution struggled with multi-regional synchronization."

"The initial deployment was a little difficult."

"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 initial setup is somewhat complex and the out-of-the-box configuration requires optimization."

"Implementing a circuit breaker scenario using RabbitMQ is complicated. This complexity arises because manual intervention is required to manage worker details and handle operations based on worker IP addresses."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"Since the tool is an open-source product, there is no need to pay anything."

"Pricing is good compared to other products. It's fine."

"The product is available for free use since it is an open-source technology."

"This is an open source solution."

"The pricing is okay."

"The solution's pricing is cost-effective as it does not involve significant expenses. Licensing is required only for the server, while clients do not need any licensing. Therefore, it proves to be a cost-efficient option."

"It is an open-source platform. Although, we have to pay for additional features."

"The price is pretty good."
