Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The way that it scales will help a lot of customers that are stuck with Netezza boxes that can't grow any larger."

"The performance is okay as long as the volume of queries is not too high."

"It is stable when there is support from IBM."

"It will be MPP, so performance should improve."

"The most valuable feature is asynchronous calls, which are easy to configure."

"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."

"It is easy to use. The addition of more queues and more services can be managed very easily."

"We use VMware RabbitMQ to transfer information from one point to another."

"The product's reliability is the most valuable feature."

"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."

"The product has been stable and I have never faced any kind of problems with it."

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

Cons

"Tech support for dashDB is awful. We usually have tickets open for three to four weeks."

"There are some limitations in adding data files to table spaces, and improvements are needed for regional support."

"Ultimately, the product itself has challenges and we are not currently satisfied with the support, either."

"Containers get corrupted very easily. Restoring them using GPFS can result in a lot of issues."

"Right now, we are implementing on ESX VMware 6.0. Support for this platform is poor. Also, one of the backup/recovery options is broken and IBM is not addressing the issue."

"Maintenance is time-consuming."

"VMware Tanzu Greenplum needs improvement in the memory area and improved methods for quick access to the disc. So, one of the quick goals of Greenplum must work on enhancing access to the disc by adding hints in the database."

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

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

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

"The product is pretty hard to configure."

"The initial deployment was a little difficult."

"If you're outside IP address range, the clustering no longer has all the features which is problematic."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If your going to go with warehouse DB/dashDB, use the cloud or Sailfish version."

"This is an open source solution."

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

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

"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 product."

"The price is pretty good."

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

"On a scale of one to five, with five being the most competitive pricing, I would rate this solution as a four."
