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

Pros

"It takes advantage of new features of DB2."

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

"Improved monitoring and performance management."

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

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

"Pivotal Greenplum's shared-nothing architecture."

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